           ImageInputStream iis = ImageIO.createImageInputStream(new File("image.png"));
   
           // Read the image data into a byte array
           byte[] imageData = new byte[iis.length()];
           iis.readFully(imageData);
   
           // Close the ImageInputStream
           iis.close();
