How to compress any image file before sending to server in android?

I have one image file of size 2mb named file.jpg and i want to decrease its size before sending it to server but i don't want the image to get distorted. There are similar threads but most of them are converting the file into zip format which i don't want to do.

So please help me out.

read your JPG as bitmap and use

bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, quality, out);`

quality in range 95-100 won't harm your quality (you already use JPG in fact), but will significantly reduce size

some docs in HERE

Use https://github.com/zetbaitsu/Compressor library:

it will give almost lossless compression result.

val compressedImageFile = Compressor.compress(context, actualImageFile) {
    default()
    destination(myFile)
}

after compression you can delete your actual image and use new destination image file path.
