## Description
Load an image or repository from a tar archive (even if compressed with gzip,
bzip2, xz or zstd) from a file or STDIN. It restores both images and tags.
## Examples
```console
$ docker image ls
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
```
### Load images from STDIN
```console
$ docker load < busybox.tar.gz
Loaded image: busybox:latest
$ docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
busybox latest 769b9341d937 7 weeks ago 2.489 MB
```
### <a name="input"></a> Load images from a file (--input)
```console
$ docker load --input fedora.tar
Loaded image: fedora:rawhide
Loaded image: fedora:20
$ docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
busybox latest 769b9341d937 7 weeks ago 2.489 MB
fedora rawhide 0d20aec6529d 7 weeks ago 387 MB
fedora 20 58394af37342 7 weeks ago 385.5 MB
fedora heisenbug 58394af37342 7 weeks ago 385.5 MB
fedora latest 58394af37342 7 weeks ago 385.5 MB
```
### <a name="platform"></a> Load a specific platform (--platform)
The `--platform` option allows you to specify which platform variant of the
image to load. By default, `docker load` loads all platform variants that
are present in the archive. Use the `--platform` option to specify which
platform variant of the image to load. An error is produced if the given
platform is not present in the archive.
The platform option takes the `os[/arch[/variant]]` format; for example,
`linux/amd64` or `linux/arm64/v8`. Architecture and variant are optional,
and default to the daemon's native architecture if omitted.
The following example loads the `linux/amd64` variant of an `alpine` image
from an archive that contains multiple platform variants.
```console
$ docker image load -i image.tar --platform=linux/amd64
Loaded image: alpine:latest
```
The following example attempts to load a `linux/ppc64le` image from an
archive, but the given platform is not present in the archive;
```console
$ docker image load -i image.tar --platform=linux/ppc64le
requested platform (linux/ppc64le) not found: image might be filtered out
```
