## NAME
podman\-commit - Create new image based on the changed container
## SYNOPSIS
**podman commit** [*options*] *container* [*image*]
**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** OPTION. Various image instructions can be configured with the **--change** OPTION and a commit message can be set using the **--message** OPTION. 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** OPTION can be set to *false*. When the commit is complete, Podman will print out the ID of the new image.
If `image` does not begin with a registry name component, `localhost` will be added to the name.
If `image` is not provided, the values for the `REPOSITORY` and `TAG` values of the created image will each be set to `<none>`.
## OPTIONS
#### **--author**, **-a**=*author*
Set the author for the committed image.
#### **--change**, **-c**=*instruction*
Apply the following possible instructions to the created image:
- *CMD*
- *ENTRYPOINT*
- *ENV*
- *EXPOSE*
- *LABEL*
- *ONBUILD*
- *STOPSIGNAL*
- *USER*
- *VOLUME*
- *WORKDIR*
Can be set multiple times.
#### **--format**, **-f** =**oci** | *docker*
Set the format of the image manifest and metadata. The currently supported formats are **oci** and *docker*.\
The default is **oci**.
#### **--iidfile**=*ImageIDfile*
Write the image ID to the file.
#### **--include-volumes**
Include in the committed image any volumes added to the container by the **--volume** or **--mount** OPTIONS to the **[podman create](podman-create.1.md)** and **[podman run](podman-run.1.md)** commands.\
The default is **false**.
#### **--message**, **-m**=*message*
Set commit message for committed image.\
*IMPORTANT: The message field is not supported in `oci` format.*
#### **--pause**, **-p**
Pause the container when creating an image.\
The default is **false**.
#### **--quiet**, **-q**
Suppresses output.\
The default is **false**.
