**podman container commit** [*options*] *container* [*image*]
## DESCRIPTION
-**podman commit** creates an image based on a changed container. The author of the
-image can be set using the `--author` flag. Various image instructions can be
-configured with the `--change` flag and a commit message can be set using the
-`--message` flag. The container and its processes are paused while the image is
-committed. This minimizes the likelihood of data corruption when creating the new
-image. If this is not desired, the `--pause` flag can be set to false. When the commit
-is complete, Podman will print out the ID of the new image.
