  1. Create an image with an area big enough to fit the data in.
  2. For each byte in the source file, set a pixel. You could do this a number of ways - monochrome, or take bytes in threes and write them as red, green and blue for a 24-bit colour image.
  3. Save the image to disk, e.g. in PNG format using libpng.

If you want a more specific answer, you'll need to ask a more specific question.
