dart - Flutter & Firebase: Compression before upload image

Question

I want to send photo selected by user in my app to Firebase Storage. I have a simple class with property _imageFile which is set like this:

File _imageFile;

_getImage() async {
    var fileName = await ImagePicker.pickImage();
    setState(() {
        _imageFile = fileName;
    });
}

after that I send photo like with this code:

final String rand1 = "${new Random().nextInt(10000)}";
final String rand2 = "${new Random().nextInt(10000)}";
final String rand3 = "${new Random().nextInt(10000)}";
final StorageReference ref = FirebaseStorage.instance.ref().child('${rand1}_${rand2}_${rand3}.jpg');
final StorageUploadTask uploadTask = ref.put(_imageFile);
final Uri downloadUrl = (await uploadTask.future).downloadUrl;
print(downloadUrl);

The problem is that the photos are often very large. Is there any method in Flutter/Dart to compress and resize photo before upload? I am ok with loss of quality.
