Docker Extensions let you use third-party tools within Docker Desktop to extend its functionality.
|
|
|
|
You can seamlessly connect your favorite development tools to your application development and deployment workflows. Augment Docker Desktop with debugging, testing, security, and networking functionalities, and build custom add-ons using the Extensions [SDK](../extensions-sdk/index.md).
|
|
|
|
Anyone can use Docker Extensions and there is no limit to the number of extensions you can install.

## What extensions are available?
|
|
|
|
There is a mix of partner and community-built extensions and Docker-built extensions.
|
|
You can explore the list of available extensions in [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/search?q=&type=extension){:target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="_"} or in the Extensions Marketplace within Docker Desktop.
