doctl compute image | DigitalOcean Documentation
doctl compute image
Generated on 23 Jun 2025
from doctl
version
v1.131.0
Description
The sub-commands of doctl compute image
manage images. A DigitalOcean image can be used to create a Droplet.
Currently, there are five types of images: snapshots, backups, custom images, distributions, and one-click application.
- Snapshots provide a full copy of an existing Droplet instance taken on demand.
- Backups are similar to snapshots but are created automatically at regular intervals when enabled for a Droplet.
- Custom images are Linux-based virtual machine images that you may upload for use on DigitalOcean. We support the following formats: raw, qcow2, vhdx, vdi, or vmdk.
- Distributions are the public Linux distributions that are available to be used as a base to create Droplets.
- Applications, or one-click apps, are distributions pre-configured with additional software, such as WordPress, Django, or Flask.
