+# NAME
+podman-image-exists- Check if an image exists in local storage
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+**podman image exists**
+[**-h**|**--help**]
+IMAGE
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+**podman image exists** checks if an image exists in local storage. The **ID** or **Name**
+of the image may be used as input. Podman will return an exit code
+of `0` when the image is found. A `1` will be returned otherwise. An exit code of `125` indicates there
+was an issue accessing the local storage.
+
+## Examples ##
+
+Check if an image called `webclient` exists in local storage (the image does actually exist).
+```
+$ sudo podman image exists webclient
+$ echo $?
+0
+$
+```
+
+Check if an image called `webbackend` exists in local storage (the image does not actually exist).
+```
+$ sudo podman image exists webbackend
+$ echo $?
