This pretty simply snippet exports your Image into a byte-array.
1public static byte[] ToByteArray(this System.Drawing.Image image)
2{
3 using(MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
4 {
5 image.Save(memoryStream);
6 return memoryStream.ToArray();
7 }
8}
Usage:
1System.Drawing.Image myImage = .....
2
3byte[] imageAsByteArray = myImage.ToByteArray();
Hint: ImageSharp
ImageSharp uses the same signature to export bytes into a MemoryStream
1 SixLabors.ImageSharp.Image myImage = ...
2 using(MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
3 {
4 myImage.Save(outStream);
5 return memoryStream.ToArray();
6 }
