In this article, use GlobalKey with your widget and save image by following code:

takeScreenShot() async {
  RenderRepaintBoundary boundary =
      previewContainer.currentContext.findRenderObject();
  double pixelRatio = originalSize / MediaQuery.of(context).size.width;
  ui.Image image = await boundary.toImage(pixelRatio: pixelRatio);
  ByteData byteData = await image.toByteData(format: ui.ImageByteFormat.png);
  Uint8List pngBytes = byteData.buffer.asUint8List();
  setState(() {
    _image2 = Image.memory(pngBytes.buffer.asUint8List());
  });
  final directory = (await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory()).path;
  File imgFile = new File('$directory/screenshot.png');
  imgFile.writeAsBytes(pngBytes);
  final snackBar = SnackBar(
    content: Text('Saved to ${directory}'),
    action: SnackBarAction(
      label: 'Ok',
      onPressed: () {
        // Some code
      },
    ),
  );

  Scaffold.of(context).showSnackBar(snackBar);
}
