It all depends on what sort of image and how the data is stored inside it. You first need to get that information.

That is a list of names in a .PNG file (i.e a picture). But that is not text, so you need to investigate how to convert an image file into text. OCR is the obvious answer, but it is not guaranteed to be accurate. A better solution would be to go back to the people who provide the information and ask for it in a proper readable format.

What you seem to talking about is OCR, Optical Character Recognition. There are a bunch of libraries out there that do this. Start with a little Google search, ".net ocr library[^]".

Though, do NOT count on having 100% accuracy. There simply isn't any such thing when doing OCR work.
