## 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 does not contain a named reference, of if you want an additional name for the local image.
+**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).
