Here i am using this code to upload compressed image on firebase storeage

@Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        if(requestCode==RC_PHOTO_PICKER && resultCode==RESULT_OK)
        {
            mProgressBar.setVisibility(ProgressBar.VISIBLE);
            Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();

            Bitmap bmp = null;
            try {
                bmp = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContentResolver(), selectedImageUri);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

            //here you can choose quality factor in third parameter(ex. i choosen 25) 
            bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 25, baos);
            byte[] fileInBytes = baos.toByteArray();

           StorageReference photoref = chatPhotosStorageReference.child(selectedImageUri.getLastPathSegment());

           //here i am uploading
           photoref.putBytes(fileInBytes).addOnSuccessListener(this, new OnSuccessListener() {
                       public void onSuccess(UploadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
                                          // When the image has successfully uploaded, we get its download URL
                           mProgressBar.setVisibility(ProgressBar.INVISIBLE);

                           Uri downloadUrl = taskSnapshot.getDownloadUrl();
                           String id = chatRoomDataBaseReference.push().getKey();
                           String time = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss").format(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());

                           // Set the download URL to the message box, so that the user can send it to the database
                           FriendlyMessageModel friendlyMessage = new FriendlyMessageModel(id,null, userId, downloadUrl.toString(),time);
                   chatRoomDataBaseReference.child(id).setValue(friendlyMessage);
                                       }
                   });
        }
    }
