If your image is represented as an array of bytes, you can use the following API:

My image is of Image type, then it is not a file as well. And if it is not a file, I will not be able to upload it.
I am just looking for a way to convert it to a file and all will be done.

A file is something that is present in the file system. If you have an image from the camera, you should use the “upload from the byte array” API. Not sure if it will help, but I found this:

I am using the same command to upload an Image to Backendless but I get this error and the app terminated.

My codes in Flutter are these:
Uint8List file = await imageFile.readAsBytes();
await Backendless.files.saveFile(file, filePathName: ‘/StoreFiles/$ownerId/${imageFile.path.split(’/’).last}’).then((response) {
fileName = response.toString();

}).onError((error, stackTrace){
  print('savefile error: $error');
});

And when I want to just simply upload it it says:
