# Export several images

`GET /images/get`

Get a tarball containing all images and metadata for several image
repositories.

tag (e.g. `ubuntu:latest`), then only that image (and its parents) are
returned; if it is an image ID, similarly only that image (and its parents)
are returned and there would be no names referenced in the 'repositories'
file for this image ID.

For details on the format, see the [export image endpoint](#operation/ImageGet).
