How to save images in firebase firestore using flutter android?

Question

I have a flutter android application that uses firebase firestore as a backend service. I am stuck on how to save images to the database. Does anyone have an idea on how to store images in firestore?

Are you sure you want to use Firestore (a document database) for that? When I need to store images, I do so in Storage: firebase.flutter.dev/docs/storage/usage. Also part of Firebase, but more suited for storing binary data. — Frank van Puffelen

Is the firebase storage suitable for storing documents as well? — George Jonathan Osafo-Osei

Yes, you can store images or files in general. I guess right now you have used the firebase_core or firebase auth package.

Firebase also has a firebase_storage package which you can use easily to store images
