How can I share an image using the share button in flutter?

Question

I would like to share the image of a card widget along with some standard text using a Share button. While I have been able to convert the card into an image using capturePng, how can I use the result of capturePng to share it as an image via other apps? I'm not sure that the share plugin allows for sharing images.

You can use this package to share files https://pub.dev/packages/esys_flutter_share

Future<void> _shareMixed() async {
    try {
      final ByteData bytes1 = await rootBundle.load('assets/image1.png');
      final ByteData bytes2 = await rootBundle.load('assets/image2.png');
      final ByteData bytes3 = await rootBundle.load('assets/addresses.csv');

      await Share.files(
          'esys images',
          {
            'esys.png': bytes1.buffer.asUint8List(),
            'bluedan.png': bytes2.buffer.asUint8List(),
            'addresses.csv': bytes3.buffer.asUint8List(),
          },
          '*/*',
          text: 'My optional text.');
    } catch (e) {
      print('error: $e');
    }
  }
