ImageBytes

ImageData.ImageBytes property

Gets or sets the raw bytes of the image stored in the shape.

public byte[] ImageBytes { get; set; }

Remarks

Setting the value to null or an empty array will remove the image from the shape.

Returns null if the image is not stored in the document (e.g the image is probably linked in this case).

Examples

Shows how to create an image file from a shape’s raw image data.

Document imgSourceDoc = new Document(MyDir + "Images.docx");
Shape imgShape = (Shape) imgSourceDoc.GetChild(NodeType.Shape, 0, true);

Assert.True(imgShape.HasImage);

// ToByteArray() returns the array stored in the ImageBytes property.
Assert.AreEqual(imgShape.ImageData.ImageBytes, imgShape.ImageData.ToByteArray());

// Save the shape's image data to an image file in the local file system.
using (Stream imgStream = imgShape.ImageData.ToStream())
{
    using (FileStream outStream = new FileStream(ArtifactsDir + "Drawing.GetDataFromImage.png",
        FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite))
    {
        imgStream.CopyTo(outStream);
    }
}
