I am saving an image, either jpg or gif, to a byte and into a database.
When I get the byte array is there a way to determine the content type from it?
Or do I need to save in database the content type?

The MIME type isn't inherent in the byte stream. You need to save that meta-data yourself if you want to be able to recover it reliably.

Of course, an alternative is to write some code that tries all the different MIME types you expect to be able to handle, and see which one works. Just depends on what you're trying to do which approach is best.
