## NAME
podman\-import - Import a tarball and save it as a filesystem image
## SYNOPSIS
**podman import** [*options*] *path* [*reference*]
**podman image import** [*options*] *path* [*reference*]
## DESCRIPTION
**podman import** imports a tarball (.tar, .tar.gz, .tgz, .bzip, .tar.xz, .txz)
and saves it as a filesystem image. Remote tarballs can be specified using a URL.
Various image instructions can be configured with the **\-\-change** flag and
a commit message can be set using the **\-\-message** flag.
**reference**, if present, is a tag to assign to the image.
**podman import** is used for importing from the archive generated by **podman export**, that includes the container's filesystem. To import the archive of image layers created by **podman save**, use **podman load**.
Note: `:` is a restricted character and cannot be part of the file name.
## OPTIONS
#### **\-\-change**=*instruction*, **-c**
Apply the following possible instructions to the created image:
**CMD** | **ENTRYPOINT** | **ENV** | **EXPOSE** | **LABEL** | **STOPSIGNAL** | **USER** | **VOLUME** | **WORKDIR**
Can be set multiple times
#### **\-\-message**, **-m**=*message*
Set commit message for imported image
#### **\-\-quiet**, **-q**
Shows progress on the import
**\-\-verbose**
Print additional debugging information
#### **\-\-help**, **-h**
Print usage statement
