## NAME
 | 
						|
podman\-save - Save image(s) to an archive
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
**podman save** [*options*] *name*[:*tag*]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**podman image save** [*options*] *name*[:*tag*]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
**podman save** saves an image to either **docker-archive**, **oci-archive**, **oci-dir** (directory with oci manifest type), or **docker-dir** (directory with v2s2 manifest type) on the local machine,
 | 
						|
default is **docker-archive**. **podman save** writes to STDOUT by default and can be redirected to a
 | 
						|
file using the **output** flag. The **quiet** flag suppresses the output when set.
 | 
						|
**podman save** will save parent layers of the image(s) and the image(s) can be loaded using **podman load**.
 | 
						|
To export the containers, use the **podman export**.
 | 
						|
Note: `:` is a restricted character and cannot be part of the file name.

 | 
						|

						|
#### **--uncompressed**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
