You can try using marshaling: It's quite fast. (You just need to copy-paste this)
public class PixelUtil
{
Bitmap source = null;
IntPtr Iptr = IntPtr.Zero;
BitmapData bitmapData = null;
public byte[] Pixels { get; set; }
public int Depth { get; private set; }
public int Width { get; private set; }
public int Height { get; private set; }
/// <summary>
/// Pixel marshaling class, use this to get and set pixels rapidly.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="source">The Bitmap to work with</param>
public PixelUtil(Bitmap source)
{
this.source = source;
}
/// <summary>
/// Lock bitmap data
/// </summary>
public void LockBits()
{
try
{
// Get width and height of bitmap
Width = source.Width;
Height = source.Height;
// get total locked pixels count
int PixelCount = Width * Height;
// Create rectangle to lock
var rect = new Rectangle(0, 0, Width, Height);
// get source bitmap pixel format size
Depth = System.Drawing.Image.GetPixelFormatSize(source.PixelFormat);
// Check if bpp (Bits Per Pixel) is 8, 24, or 32
if (Depth != 8 && Depth != 24 && Depth != 32)
{
throw new ArgumentException("Only 8, 24 and 32 bpp images are supported.");
}
// Lock bitmap and return bitmap data
bitmapData = source.LockBits(rect, ImageLockMode.ReadWrite,
source.PixelFormat);
// create byte array to copy pixel values
int step = Depth / 8;
Pixels = new byte[PixelCount * step];
Iptr = bitmapData.Scan0;
// Copy data from pointer to array
Marshal.Copy(Iptr, Pixels, 0, Pixels.Length);
}
catch (Exception)
{
throw;
}
}

You can call like this:
public void Example(Bitmap image)
{
PixelUtil pixelUtil = new PixelUtil(image);
pixelUtil.LockBits();
Color firstPixel = pixelUtil.GetPixel(0, 0);
pixelUtil.SetPixel(0, 0, Color.White);
//Don't forget to unlock!
pixelUtil.UnlockBits();
}
EDIT:
Not sure how are you saving the image, but it Works fine for me:
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
Bitmap image1 = new Bitmap(@"C:\Users\Nicke Manarin\Desktop\YEeJO.png");
BlackWhite(image1);
}
public void BlackWhite(Bitmap image)
{
PixelUtil pixelUtil = new PixelUtil(image);
pixelUtil.LockBits();
for (int y = 0; y < image.Height; y++)
{
for (int x = 0; x < image.Width; x++)
{
if (pixelUtil.GetPixel(x, y).GetBrightness() > 0.5)
{
pixelUtil.SetPixel(x, y, Color.White);
}
else
{
pixelUtil.SetPixel(x, y, Color.Black);
}
}
}
pixelUtil.UnlockBits();
pictureBox1.Image = image;
image.Save(@"C:\Users\Nicke Manarin\Desktop\YEeJO2.png");
}
