You should use the Bitmap.compress() method to save a Bitmap as a file. It will compress (if the format used allows it) your picture and push it into an OutputStream.

Here is an example of a Bitmap instance obtained through getImageBitmap(myurl) that can be compressed as a JPEG with a compression rate of 85% :

String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
OutputStream fOut = null;
File file = new File(path, "FitnessGirl"+Contador+".jpg"); // the File to save to
fOut = new FileOutputStream(file);

Bitmap pictureBitmap = getImageBitmap(myurl); // obtaining the Bitmap
pictureBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 85, fOut); // saving the Bitmap to a file compressed as a JPEG with 85% compression rate
fOut.flush();
fOut.close(); // do not forget to close the stream

MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(),file.getAbsolutePath(),file.getName(),file.getName());
