I am trying to compress a file before upload in flutter web. However the image isnt being compressed at least not when i readAsBytes this obviously is an issue when uploading images.

    final pickedFile = await picker.getImage(
        source: ImageSource.gallery,
        imageQuality: 10,
        maxHeight: 10,
        maxWidth: 10);

    _webImage = await pickedFile.readAsBytes();

print(pickedFile.length);  // 2360369 ~ 2.3 mb ie the original image size

When getImage is called i expect the image that im getting would be reduced to whatever i compress it to.
