Image
The Image control displays a non-interactive image to the user. You can use this for purposes such as decorations or icons, and you can change the image from a script to reflect changes in other controls. The control is similar to the Raw ImageA Visual UI Component that displays a non-interactive image to the user. This can be used for decoration, icons, and so on, and the image can also be changed from a script to reflect changes in other controls. More info
See in Glossary control, but offers more options for animating the image and accurately filling the control rectangle. However, the Image control requires its Texture to be a SpriteA 2D graphic objects. If you are used to working in 3D, Sprites are essentially just standard textures but there are special techniques for combining and managing sprite textures for efficiency and convenience during development.

See in Glossary, while the Raw Image can accept any Texture.
