I'm not sure there's actually any conversion to be done. You see, Variant isn't really a data type at all. It's more like a "bucket" into which you can place any data type you want. I'd say you need to start by determining what format the image is in, within that variant.

It would be helpful if we had some more detail such as what version of VB you're using (I'm guessing VB6, from the use of Variant), how you're getting this Variant value, and so on. Perhaps you could show us the code where the Variant is populated.
