How to convert a Byte array to an image format....

It's very simple really. You know what the byte array holds and you convert it to a new byte array holding what it's been converted to.

This requires knowledge of what you have and what you want. You convert data of one type to data of another type. That's all there's to it really.

You can create a ByteArrayInputStream from the byte array and then read the image from the input stream using the ImageIO class:

InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(byteArray);
BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(is);
