You can use WebClient or HttpWebRequest to download the image, find below code: string localFilename = @ "c:\localpath\myphoto.jpg" ; using (WebClient client = new WebClient()) { client.DownloadFile( "http://www.website.com/image.jpg" , localFilename); }

I am also thinking of that there must be some problem in Image URL that's why it is not downloaded properly. Thank you for your help and give some time @Amit and @Manas.

It might not be possible, I (personally) had widely used to do web scrapping and it works very well. There also be a antivirus problem, it blocks if downloaded/accessed from an unsecure source. Do check these stuffs and it will fix your issue. Or share your code

Actually, i am doing this for web scraping and I tried your methods which you have suggested WebClient but then I found that I can't get complete image actually image was nearby 301kb but I get only 13.1kb then I found that I have to pass request headers and I passed it but it doesn't go well.So, do u have any idea then please help me? Thank you.
