Save bitmap to location

try (FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(filename)) {
    bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out); // bmp is your Bitmap instance
    // PNG is a lossless format, the compression factor (100) is ignored
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

I know this question is old, but now we can achieve the same result without WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. Instead of we can use File provider.

private fun storeBitmap(bitmap: Bitmap, file: File){
        requireContext().getUriForFile(file)?.run {
            requireContext().contentResolver.openOutputStream(this)?.run {
                bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, this)
                close()
            }
        }
    }

How to retrieve file from provider ?

fun Context.getUriForFile(file: File): Uri? {
        return FileProvider.getUriForFile(
            this,
            "$packageName.fileprovider",
            file
        )
    }

Also do not forget register your provider in Android manifest

<provider
        android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
        android:authorities="${applicationId}.fileprovider"
        android:exported="false"
        android:grantUriPermissions="true">
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
            android:resource="@xml/file_paths"/>
    </provider>

Why not call the Bitmap.compress method with 100 (which sounds like it is lossless)?

Save Bitmap to your Gallery Without Compress.

private File saveBitMap(Context context, Bitmap Final_bitmap) {
    File pictureFileDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), "Your Folder Name");
    if (!pictureFileDir.exists()) {
        boolean isDirectoryCreated = pictureFileDir.mkdirs();
        if (!isDirectoryCreated)
            Log.i("TAG", "Can't create directory to save the image");
        return null;
    }
    String filename = pictureFileDir.getPath() + File.separator + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg";
    File pictureFile = new File(filename);
    try {
        pictureFile.createNewFile();
        FileOutputStream oStream = new FileOutputStream(pictureFile);
        Final_bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, oStream);
        oStream.flush();
        oStream.close();
        Toast.makeText(Full_Screen_Activity.this, "Save Image Successfully..", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        Log.i("TAG", "There was an issue saving the image.");
    }
    scanGallery(context, pictureFile.getAbsolutePath());
    return pictureFile;
}
private void scanGallery(Context cntx, String path) {
    try {
        MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(cntx, new String[]{path}, null, new MediaScannerConnection.OnScanCompletedListener() {
            public void onScanCompleted(String path, Uri uri) {
                Toast.makeText(Full_Screen_Activity.this, "Save Image Successfully..", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        Log.i("TAG", "There was an issue scanning gallery.");
    }
}

You want to save Bitmap to Directory of your Choice. I have made a library ImageWorker that enables the user to load, save and convert bitmaps/drawables/base64 images.

Min SDK - 14

Pre-requisite

• Saving files would require WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
• Retrieving files would require READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.

Saving Bitmap/Drawable/Base64

ImageWorker.to(context).
    directory("ImageWorker").
    subDirectory("SubDirectory").
    setFileName("Image").
    withExtension(Extension.PNG).
    save(sourceBitmap,85)

Loading Bitmap

val bitmap: Bitmap? = ImageWorker.from(context).
    directory("ImageWorker").
    subDirectory("SubDirectory").
    setFileName("Image").
    withExtension(Extension.PNG).
    load()

Implementation

Add Dependencies

In Project Level Gradle

allprojects {
        repositories {
            ...
            maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
        }
    }

In Application Level Gradle

dependencies {
            implementation 'com.github.ihimanshurawat:ImageWorker:0.51'
    }

You can read more on https://github.com/ihimanshurawat/ImageWorker/blob/master/README.md

Create a video thumbnail for a video. It may return null if the video is corrupted or the format is not supported.

private void makeVideoPreview() {
    Bitmap thumbnail = ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail(videoAbsolutePath, MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND);
    saveImage(thumbnail);
}

To Save your bitmap in sdcard use the following code

Store Image

private void storeImage(Bitmap image) {
    File pictureFile = getOutputMediaFile();
    if (pictureFile == null) {
        Log.d(TAG,
                "Error creating media file, check storage permissions: ");// e.getMessage());
        return;
    } 
    try {
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(pictureFile);
        image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, fos);
        fos.close();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        Log.d(TAG, "File not found: " + e.getMessage());
    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.d(TAG, "Error accessing file: " + e.getMessage());
    }  
}

To Get the Path for Image Storage

/** Create a File for saving an image or video */
private  File getOutputMediaFile(){
    // To be safe, you should check that the SDCard is mounted
    // using Environment.getExternalStorageState() before doing this. 
    File mediaStorageDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
            + "/Android/data/"
            + getApplicationContext().getPackageName()
            + "/Files"); 

    // This location works best if you want the created images to be shared
    // between applications and persist after your app has been uninstalled.

    // Create the storage directory if it does not exist
    if (! mediaStorageDir.exists()){
        if (! mediaStorageDir.mkdirs()){
            return null;
        }
    } 
    // Create a media file name
    String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("ddMMyyyy_HHmm").format(new Date());
    File mediaFile;
        String mImageName="MI_"+ timeStamp +".jpg";
        mediaFile = new File(mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator + mImageName);  
    return mediaFile;
} 

Some new devices don't save bitmap So I explained a little more..

make sure you have added below Permission

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

and create a xml file under xml folder name provider_paths.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths>
    <external-path
        name="external_files"
        path="." />
</paths>

and in AndroidManifest under

<provider
            android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
            android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider"
            android:exported="false"
            android:grantUriPermissions="true">
            <meta-data
                android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
                android:resource="@xml/provider_paths"/>
        </provider>

then simply call saveBitmapFile(passYourBitmapHere)

public static void saveBitmapFile(Bitmap bitmap) throws IOException {
        File mediaFile = getOutputMediaFile();
        FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(mediaFile);
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, getQualityNumber(bitmap), fileOutputStream);
        fileOutputStream.flush();
        fileOutputStream.close();
    }

where

File getOutputMediaFile() {
        File mediaStorageDir = new File(
                Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),
                "easyTouchPro");
        if (mediaStorageDir.isDirectory()) {

            // Create a media file name
            String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss")
                    .format(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
            String mCurrentPath = mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator
                            + "IMG_" + timeStamp + ".jpg";
            File mediaFile = new File(mCurrentPath);
            return mediaFile;
        } else { /// error handling for PIE devices..
            mediaStorageDir.delete();
            mediaStorageDir.mkdirs();
            galleryAddPic(mediaStorageDir);

            return (getOutputMediaFile());
        }
    }

and other methods

public static int getQualityNumber(Bitmap bitmap) {
        int size = bitmap.getByteCount();
        int percentage = 0;

        if (size > 500000 && size <= 800000) {
            percentage = 15;
        } else if (size > 800000 && size <= 1000000) {
            percentage = 20;
        } else if (size > 1000000 && size <= 1500000) {
            percentage = 25;
        } else if (size > 1500000 && size <= 2500000) {
            percentage = 27;
        } else if (size > 2500000 && size <= 3500000) {
            percentage = 30;
        } else if (size > 3500000 && size <= 4000000) {
            percentage = 40;
        } else if (size > 4000000 && size <= 5000000) {
            percentage = 50;
        } else if (size > 5000000) {
            percentage = 75;
        }

        return percentage;
    }

and

void galleryAddPic(File f) {
        Intent mediaScanIntent = new Intent(
                "android.intent.action.MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE");
        Uri contentUri = Uri.fromFile(f);
        mediaScanIntent.setData(contentUri);

        this.sendBroadcast(mediaScanIntent);
    }
