I don't think there's an easy way using selenium webdriver, however, I think you can get the link of the image using webdriver, then use whatever language you're using to download the file, for example, if you're using ruby you can use the below code, it will create a new file called image.png and copy the image from url:

require 'open-uri'
open('image.png', 'wb') do |file|
  file << open('http://www.textimg.net/textimages/2012/this-text-image-tool-is-so-cool-_502153c0c5fa7.png').read
end
