Flutter save a network image to local directory

Question

In Flutter how to save an image from network to the local directory.

I am new to encoding and decoding images. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Answer 1

You can use image_downloader.

• For ios, image is saved in Photo Library.
• For Android, image is saved in Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS or specified location. By calling inExternalFilesDir(), specification of permission becomes unnecessary.
• By callback(), you can get progress status.

The following is the simplest example. It will be saved.

await ImageDownloader.downloadImage(url);
