Hi KailashSahu-8768,
You need to add the image in the file into imageList, and then fill to the listView.
Here is a code example:

 private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
  {  
            DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\test");  
  
            foreach (FileInfo file in dir.GetFiles())  
            {  
                try  
                {  
                    this.imageList1.Images.Add(Image.FromFile(file.FullName));  
                }  
                catch  
                {  
                    Console.WriteLine("This is not an image file");  
                }  
            }  
  
            this.listView1.View = View.LargeIcon;  
  
            this.imageList1.ImageSize = new Size(32, 32);  
  
            this.listView1.LargeImageList = this.imageList1;  
  
            //or  
  
            //this.listView1.View = View.SmallIcon;  
  
            //this.listView1.SmallImageList = this.imageList1;  
  
            for (int j = 0; j < this.imageList1.Images.Count; j++)  
            {  
                ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem();  
                item.ImageIndex = j;  
                this.listView1.Items.Add(item);  
            }  
}  

You cannot save all the pictures at once, so you can use the ListView.SelectedIndexChanged event to save the selected picture in the listview to settings.
Setting：
Name:Image1, Type:String, Scope:Application

private void listView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)  
    {  
        var base64 = string.Empty;  
        using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())  
        {  
            Image image;  
            foreach (ListViewItem itm in listView1.SelectedItems)  
            {  
                int imgIndex = itm.ImageIndex;  
                if (imgIndex >= 0 && imgIndex < this.imageList1.Images.Count)  
                {  
                    image = this.imageList1.Images[imgIndex];  
                    image.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);  
                    base64 = Convert.ToBase64String(ms.ToArray());  
                    Properties.Settings.Default.Image1 = base64;  
                    Properties.Settings.Default.Save();  
                }  
            }  
        }  
    }  
}
