Flutter/Dart rewriting image in the same format

After reading an image with the ImageDescriptor API and resizing it by instantiating a codec I am trying to write the resized version in the application directory.

I saw that the when converting the frame into byte data I have a format which is rawUnmodified which I assumed would write the resized image in the same format as the original image. But when I tried to load the resized image I get an image format exception.

Example code:

    //read the original image and obtain the image descriptor
    var imageData = await file.readAsBytes(); 
    final ImmutableBuffer buffer = await ImmutableBuffer.fromUint8List(imageData);
    final imDescr = await ImageDescriptor.encoded(buffer);

    //resize the image, get the first frame and convert it to bytes
    Codec codec = await imDescr.instantiateCodec(targetWidth: 100, targetHeight: 100);
    FrameInfo frameInfo = await codec.getNextFrame();
    var bytes = await frameInfo.image.toByteData(
      format: ImageByteFormat.rawUnmodified,
      //note when using the png format it works, but I would like to have it in the original image format(in this case its jpg)
    );
    
    //write the resized image
    Directory appDir = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
    var path = appDir.path;
    var file = File('$path/test1.jpg');
    await file.writeAsBytes(bytes.buffer.asUint8List(bytes.offsetInBytes, bytes.lengthInBytes));

In the ImageByteFormat api it says: rawUnmodified -> Unencoded bytes, in the image's existing format. For example, a grayscale image may use a single 8-bit channel for each pixel.

But when I try to show this image the format is wrong. Anybody have an idea how to fix this?

Why use image ImageDescriptor, You can do it easily by image package

File resizeImage(File imageFile, String imageFormat, int targetWidth, int targetHeight) {
  im.Image tempImage = im.decodeImage(imageFile.readAsBytesSync());
  tempImage = im.bakeOrientation(tempImage);
  tempImage = im.copyResize(tempImage, width: targetWidth, height: targetHeight);
  File newImage;
  if (imageFormat == 'jpg') {
     newImage =  File('newpath/test.jpg');
     newImage.writeAsBytesSync(im.encodeJpg(tempImage));
     return newImage;
  } else if (imageFormat == 'png') {
    newImage =  File('newpath/test.png');
     newImage.writeAsBytesSync(im.encodePng(tempImage));
     return newImage;
  } else {
    throw ('Unknown Image Format');
  }
}
