Can you please clarify whether you need to completely disable the processing of images in the document, or only at the time the document is created? So that when rendering they are still loaded?

@Kruzer

You can disable the loading of images using the configuration options:

internal class Program
    {
        private static string OutputDir = "c:\\temp\\";

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            // Prepare HTML code and save it to a file
            var code = "<span style=\"background-image:url('https://httpbin.org/image/jpeg')\">Hello World!!</span> " +
                       "<script>document.write('Have a nice day!');</script>";

            File.WriteAllText(Path.Combine(OutputDir, "sandboxing.html"), code);

            // Create an instance of Configuration
            using (var configuration = new Configuration())
            {
                // Mark 'Images' as an untrusted resource
                configuration.Security |= Sandbox.Images;

                // Initialize an HTML document with specified configuration
                using (var document = new HTMLDocument(Path.Combine(OutputDir, "sandboxing.html"), configuration))
                {
                    // Convert HTML to PDF
                    Converter.ConvertHTML(document, new PdfSaveOptions(),
                        Path.Combine(OutputDir, "sandboxing_out.pdf"));
                }
            }
        }
    }
