you can do this with the following code:

public Image byteArrayToImage(byte[] source)
        {
            MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(source);
            Image ret = Image.FromStream(ms);
            return ret;
        }

OR in a better way to dispose MemoryStream

public Image byteArrayToImage(byte[] bytesArr)
{
    using (MemoryStream memstr = new MemoryStream(bytesArr))
    {
        Image img = Image.FromStream(memstr);
        return img;
    }
}

that's it, above code should resolve your issue

thanks

Here is another solution, to convert Byte array into Image using C#

Convert Byte Array to Image File using C#

  // ImageConverter object used to convert byte arrays containing JPEG or PNG file images into 
  //  Bitmap objects. This is static and only gets instantiated once.
  private static readonly ImageConverter _imageConverter = new ImageConverter();


//Converts image into Byte array
  // <returns>byte array image of a PNG file containing the image</returns>
  public static byte[] CopyImageToByteArray(Image theImage)
  {
     using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
     {
        theImage.Save(memoryStream, ImageFormat.Png);
        return memoryStream.ToArray();
     }
  }

//Converts Byte Array ino image
 public static Bitmap GetImageFromByteArray(byte[] byteArray)
  {
     Bitmap bm = (Bitmap)_imageConverter.ConvertFrom(byteArray);

     if (bm != null && (bm.HorizontalResolution != (int)bm.HorizontalResolution ||
                        bm.VerticalResolution != (int)bm.VerticalResolution))
     {
        // Correct a strange glitch that has been observed in the test program when converting 
        //  from a PNG file image created by CopyImageToByteArray() - the dpi value "drifts" 
        //  slightly away from the nominal integer value
        bm.SetResolution((int)(bm.HorizontalResolution + 0.5f), 
                         (int)(bm.VerticalResolution + 0.5f));
     }

     return bm;
  }

Note: To get the Image from a jpg or png file you should read the file into a byte array using File.ReadAllBytes():

Bitmap newBitmap = GetImageFromByteArray(File.ReadAllBytes(fileName));

Or you can simply try these steps to convert image into byte array

  1. Create a MemoryStream passing the array in the constructor.
  2. Read the image from the stream using Image.FromStream.
  3. Call theImg.Save("theimage.jpg", ImageFormat.Jpeg), to save it as image.
  4. Return saved file path.

You would have to refer System.Drawing.Imaging and use a using block for the stream.

Here is the code for image to byte and byte to image conversion in C#

public byte[] imageToByteArray(System.Drawing.Image imageIn)
{
    MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
    imageIn.Save(ms,System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif);
    return ms.ToArray();
}

public Image byteArrayToImage(byte[] byteArrayIn)
{
    MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(byteArrayIn);
    Image returnImage = Image.FromStream(ms);
    return returnImage;
}

Hope it helps.
