This is a hard problem if you are trying to parse the HTML and turn it into an image. Most of the browsers do it, so you could look into using the renderer parts of Webkit or Firefox. — Justin Thomas

I assume the OP is talking about the image datatype not creating pictures. You should use varbinary(max) as image is deprecated. — Martin Smith

You can use the following code to convert a string to a byte array, which can then be saved in a database image field.

var bytes = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(htmlString);

Use of image will be deprecated, consider using varbinary(max).
