import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

// ...

BufferedImage image = getImage();

// Choose a format that supports compression, such as JPEG or PNG
String format = "JPEG";

// Set the compression quality
float quality = 0.5f;

// Create a ByteArrayOutputStream to hold the output
ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

// Write the image to the output stream
ImageIO.write(image, format, outputStream);

// Get the image data as a byte array
byte[] data = outputStream.toByteArray();
