## NAME
podman\-load - Load image(s) from a tar archive into container storage
## SYNOPSIS
**podman load** [*options*] [*name*[:*tag*]]
**podman image load** [*options*] [*name*[:*tag*]]
## DESCRIPTION
**podman load** loads an image from either an **oci-archive** or a **docker-archive** stored on the local machine into container storage. **podman load** reads from stdin by default or a file if the **input** option is set.
You can also specify a name for the image if the archive is of single image and load will tag an additional image with the name:tag.
**podman load** is used for loading from the archive generated by **podman save**, that includes the image parent layers. To load the archive of container's filesystem created by **podman export**, use **podman import**.
The local client further supports loading an **oci-dir** or a **docker-dir** as created with **podman save** (1).
The **quiet** option suppresses the progress output when set.
Note: `:` is a restricted character and cannot be part of the file name.
