This is Code for converting the image of any type(for example PNG, JPG, JPEG) to byte array

   public static byte[] imageConversion(string imageName){            


        //Initialize a file stream to read the image file
        FileStream fs = new FileStream(imageName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

        //Initialize a byte array with size of stream
        byte[] imgByteArr = new byte[fs.Length];

        //Read data from the file stream and put into the byte array
        fs.Read(imgByteArr, 0, Convert.ToInt32(fs.Length));

        //Close a file stream
        fs.Close();

        return imageByteArr
    }
