Try to use something similar to what is described here https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/de9ee1c9-16d3-4422-a99f-e863041e4c1d/reading-raw-rgba-data-into-a-bitmap

Image ImageFromRawBgraArray(
    byte[] arr, 
    int charWidth, int charHeight,
    int widthInChars, 
    PixelFormat pixelFormat)
{
    var output = new Bitmap(width, height, pixelFormat);
    var rect = new Rectangle(0, 0, width, height);
    var bmpData = output.LockBits(rect, ImageLockMode.ReadWrite, output.PixelFormat);

    // Row-by-row copy
    var arrRowLength = width * Image.GetPixelFormatSize(output.PixelFormat) / 8;
    var ptr = bmpData.Scan0;
    for (var i = 0; i < height; i++)
    {
        Marshal.Copy(arr, i * arrRowLength, ptr, arrRowLength);
        ptr += bmpData.Stride;
    }

    output.UnlockBits(bmpData);
    return output;
}
