i'm using this function before I upload it, I do not notice any negative, but this function is only a little bit different to yours

B4X:

'Converts an image to a bytes array (for BLOB fields).
Public Sub ImageToBytes(Image As Bitmap) As Byte()
    Dim out As OutputStream
    out.InitializeToBytesArray(0)
    Image.WriteToStream(out, 100, "JPEG")
    out.Close
    Return out.ToBytesArray
End Sub

Why aren't you adding the files directly to the database? Maybe the format is different.
