Hi 80240195,

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

What image do you want to save?

If you want to save the image taken by camera, just set "SaveToAlbum = true" if you used "MediaPlugin".

var photo = await CrossMedia.Current.TakePhotoAsync(  
new StoreCameraMediaOptions   
{   
    SaveToAlbum = true   
});  

If you want to download the image from url, you can create the DependencyService for android. More details about DependencyService, you can refer to this answer. And here is another thread you can refer to: How to download image and save it in local storage using Xamarin-Forms.?.

Regards,
Kyle
