Hi @youssef125 ,

Thank you for posting query in Microsoft Q&A Platform.

I tried to copy image to data lake storage using Copy activity. It was working fine for me. I am able to preview the image as well.

You should use binary as formatter while creating source and sink datasets.

Please check below screenshots of my implementation:
