## NAME
podman\-load - Load an image from docker archive

## SYNOPSIS
**podman load**
**NAME[:TAG|@DIGEST]**
[**--input**|**-i**]
[**--quiet**|**-q**]
[**--help**|**-h**]

## DESCRIPTION
**podman load** copies an image from either **docker-archive** or **oci-archive** stored
on the local machine. **podman load** reads from stdin by default or a file if the **input** flag is set.
The **quiet** flag suppresses the output when set.
Note: `:` is a restricted character and cannot be part of the file name.

**podman [GLOBAL OPTIONS]**

**podman load [GLOBAL OPTIONS]**

**podman load [OPTIONS] NAME[:TAG|@DIGEST]**

## OPTIONS

**--input, -i**

Read from archive file, default is STDIN

**--quiet, -q**

Suppress the output

**--signature-policy="PATHNAME"**

Pathname of a signature policy file to use.  It is not recommended that this
option be used, as the default behavior of using the system-wide default policy
(frequently */etc/containers/policy.json*) is most often preferred

## EXAMPLES

```
# podman load --quiet -i fedora.tar
```

```
# podman load -q --signature-policy /etc/containers/policy.json -i fedora.tar
```

```
# podman load < fedora.tar
