Have you configured the WCF service and got the data from the table.

1. Create Service Method with return type as byte[]. This method ll return the image byte array from the DB-Table based on your conditions.
2. In page, Create byte[] variable to get output above service.
3. Follow the below steps

C#

Int32 offset =78;
byte[] imagews=wservice.getimage();
Int32 offset =78;
System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream ();
ms.Write(imagews, offset, imagews.Length - offset);
System.Drawing.Bitmap imgJpg= new System.Drawing.Bitmap(ms);
imgJpg.Save(Server.MapPath ("FromDB.jpg"), System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg );
ms.Close();
ImageFromDB.ImageUrl = Server.MapPath("FromDB.jpg"); // this image can be used across the pages.

1. Getting data from database is not really WCF. It is job of ADO.Net. You can get the images from database using basic ADO.Net code. Lot of example can be found on MSDN and web in general to do this.
2. Once you have retrieved the image, I would suggest you send that to the client via service in binary format since that will be quicker. You can also take a look at "compressing images in .Net" if you are dealing with big pictures.
3. Check this[^] article. HTH.
