## NAME
podman\-images - List images in local storage

## SYNOPSIS
**podman images** [*options*]

**podman image list** [*options*]

**podman image ls** [*options*]

## DESCRIPTION
Displays locally stored images, their names, and their IDs.

## OPTIONS

#### **--all**, **-a**

Show all images (by default filter out the intermediate image layers). The default is false.

#### **--digests**

Show image digests

#### **--filter**=*filter*, **-f**

Provide filter values.

The *filters* argument format is of `key=value`. If there is more than one *filter*, then pass multiple OPTIONS: **--filter** *foo=bar* **--filter** *bif=baz*.

Supported filters:

| Filter             | Description                                                                                   |
| :----------------: | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| *before*           | Filter by images created before the given IMAGE (name or tag).                                |
| *dangling*         | Filter by dangling (unused) images.                                                           |
| *label*            | Filter by images with (or without, in the case of label!=[...] is used) the specified labels. |
| *readonly*         | Filter by read-only or read/write images.                                                     |
| *reference*        | Filter by image name.                                                                         |
| *since*            | Filter by images created after the given IMAGE (name or tag).                                 |

The `before` *filter* accepts formats: `<image-name>[:<tag>]`, `<image id>` or `<image@digest>`.

The `dangling` *filter* shows images that are taking up disk space and serve no purpose. Dangling image is a file system layer that was used in a previous build of an image and is no longer referenced by any image. They are denoted with the `<none>` tag, consume disk space and serve no active purpose.

The `label` *filter* accepts two formats. One is the `label`=*key* or `label`=*key*=*value*, which shows images with the specified labels. The other format is the `label!`=*key* or `label!`=*key*=*value*, which shows images without the specified labels.

The `readonly` *filter* shows, as a default, both read-only and read/write images. Read-only images can be configured by modifying the  `additionalimagestores` in the `/etc/containers/storage.conf` file.

The `reference` *filter* accepts the pattern of an image reference `<image-name>[:<tag>]`.

The `since` *filter* accepts formats: `<image-name>[:<tag>]`, `<image id>` or `<image@digest>`.

#### **--format**=*format*

Change the default output format.  This can be of a supported type like 'json'
or a Go template.
Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:

| **Placeholder** | **Description**                                                               |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| .ID             | Image ID                                                                      |
| .Repository     | Image repository                                                              |
| .Tag            | Image tag                                                                     |
| .Digest         | Image digest                                                                  |
| .CreatedSince   | Elapsed time since the image was created			     					  |
| .CreatedAt      | Time when the image was created                                               |
| .Size           | Size of layer on disk                                                         |
| .History        | History of the image layer                                                    |

#### **--history**

Display the history of image names.  If an image gets re-tagged or untagged, then the image name history gets prepended (latest image first).  This is especially useful when undoing a tag operation or an image does not contain any name because it has been untagged.

#### **--noheading**, **-n**

Omit the table headings from the listing of images.

#### **--no-trunc**

Do not truncate the output (default *false*).

#### **--quiet**, **-q**

Lists only the image IDs.

#### **--sort**=*sort*=*created*

Sort by created, id, repository, size or tag (default: created)
