They are two completely different objects:

  • System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image is a control that has the ability to render HTML which will make the browser download and display an appointed image
  • System.Drawing.Image is a class that has the ability to load an image into memory for manipulating it, or to display it in a control (but not the web image control).

So unfortunately there is no way you can convert a System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image to a System.Drawing.Image; it doesn't even touch the image data.

System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image is merely a container for any valid image file specified by the ImageUrl property. If you would like to take the image at the ImageUrl and convert it to a System.Drawing.Image you can call System.Drawing.Image.ImageFromFile("path/to/image").
