# Saved Images

A saved image is a reusable template of a node's root disk. Save a node once, and you can
launch new nodes from it later, already set up the same way, without configuring each one again.
You manage your saved images on the **Saved Images** page under Storage in MyAccount.

## What you can do with saved images

- [Save a node as an image](/myaccount/node/how-to/save-a-node-as-an-image/): capture a node's
  root disk as a reusable template.
- [Create an image from a snapshot](/myaccount/node/how-to/create-an-image-from-a-snapshot/):
  turn a saved point-in-time snapshot into a reusable image.
- [Import a custom image](/myaccount/images/how-to/import-a-custom-image/): bring an image you
  built on another cloud or your own servers onto E2E, through an Object Storage bucket.
- [Export an image to Object Storage](/myaccount/images/how-to/export-an-image/): keep a copy
  of an image as a file in your bucket, or move it to the other region.
- [Move a saved image to another project](/myaccount/images/how-to/move-a-saved-image-to-another-project/):
  use an image in another project of the same account, without moving the node it was taken from.
- Rename or delete a saved image from its **Actions** menu on the **Saved Images** page, and tag it
  from the tag icon beside its name.

The steps for saving from a node or a snapshot live on the [Node](/myaccount/node/) pages, where
the image is created. You manage the images on the **Saved Images** page.

## What you will see

The **Saved Images** page lists your images with their name, type (**E2E Image** or
**Custom Image**), operating system, size, how many nodes and scale groups run from them, their
creation date, and their state. When an image reads **Ready** (or **Available**), you can create
a node or scale group from it, or export it.

## Where to start with saved images

[Get started with Saved Images](/myaccount/images/get-started/) walks you through saving a node
and launching a copy of it. If something goes wrong, see
[Troubleshooting Saved Images](/myaccount/images/troubleshooting/images/) and
[Troubleshooting image import and export](/myaccount/node/troubleshooting/image-import-export/).
