podman load [options]

podman load restores container images from tar archives previously created by podman save or docker save. Unlike podman import, it preserves all image layers, metadata, tags, and build history.
The archive can be read from a file with -i or piped from stdin. This is the standard way to transfer complete images between systems without using a registry.

-i, --input FILE

Input archive file.

Suppress output.

Use with podman save archives. OCI format compatible.

podman load provides image archive loading functionality.
