array | The byte array to convert. |
format | The pixel format of the image data. |
width | The width of the image data in pixels. |
height | The height of the image data in pixels. |
rowBytes | The length of a single row in bytes. The default is 0, which means Unity calculates the length automatically. |
Encodes this array into PNG format.
This function returns a byte array which is the PNG file data. You can store the encoded data as a file or send it over the network without further processing.
The encoded PNG data will
contain alpha channel for RGBA32
, ARGB32
textures, and no alpha channel for RGB24
textures.
For single-channel red textures ( R8
, R16
, RFloat
and RHalf
), the encoded PNG data will be in grayscale.
PNG data will not contain gamma correction or color profile information.
This method is thread safe.
