public byte[] bytes;

Description

The raw bytes of the text asset. (Read Only)

This returns an array containing all the data in a file, including invisible characters such as byte-order marks for Unicode text files.

This property returns a new C# array with a copy of the asset data every time it's called. To get access the original asset data without creating an additional copy, use GetData.

using UnityEngine;

public class Example : MonoBehaviour { // Drag a .jpg or .png file onto the image variable. TextAsset image;

void Start() { var tex = new Texture2D(4, 4); tex.LoadImage(image.bytes); GetComponent<Renderer>().material.mainTexture = tex; } }
