# Custom Images Details

Generated on 12 Mar 2026

Custom images are Linux and Unix-like images you import to DigitalOcean. You can create Droplets based custom images, which lets you migrate and scale your workloads without spending time recreating your environment from scratch.

[Custom Images Features](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/custom-images/details/features/index.html.md): Once you upload a custom image to your DigitalOcean account, you can create Droplets based on that image. When you upload a custom image, you select a region for it to be available in. You can create Droplets based on a custom image in that region, and you can make your custom image available in additional regions at any time.

[Custom Images Pricing](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/custom-images/details/pricing/index.html.md): Custom images are free to upload and charged at $0.06 per GB per month to store. There is no additional charge to add an image to additional regions.

[Custom Images Availability](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/custom-images/details/availability/index.html.md): Custom images are available in all regions. You can create Droplets from custom images in any region where you’ve added the image.

[Custom Images Limits](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/custom-images/details/limits/index.html.md): Limits and known issues for custom images.
