You can import images from other Portainer instances, the Docker CLI or the Docker Swarm CLI.
From the menu select Images then click Import.
<figure><figcaption></figcaption></figure>Click Select file to browse for the image file to upload. Portainer supports .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2 and .tar.xz files. If you are on a multi-node environment, select the node where you wish to save the image.
{% hint style="info" %} On a multi-node environment, the image you import will only be available on the node selected under Deployment. If you want to make the image available to all nodes, consider adding a registry to Portainer. {% endhint %}
<figure><figcaption></figcaption></figure>When importing an image you can also select to tag the image using a registry you have preconfigured in Portainer. Select the Registry from the dropdown and enter the image name and tag.
<figure><figcaption></figcaption></figure>If you wish to tag the image with a registry that is not configured within Portainer, click Advanced mode and enter the registry, port, image and tag as required.
{% hint style="info" %} If you want to tag the image locally rather than in a registry, use Advanced mode and simply specify the image name and tag, without a registry. {% endhint %}
<figure><figcaption></figcaption></figure>When you're ready, click Upload to import your image.
