## `image-builder list-images`
The `list-images` command for `image-builder` lists the available built-in image types that can be built for the [built-in distributions](./10-faq.md#built-in-distributions).
```console
$ image-builder list-images
# ... long list ...
```
### Format
The output format used by `list-images` can be swapped with the `--output` flag. Available types are `text` (for display in a terminal) and `json` which can be useful to consume programmatically:
```console
$ image-builder list-images --output=json | jq '.[0]'
{
"distro": {
"name": "centos-9"
},
"arch": {
"name": "aarch64"
},
"image_type": {
"name": "ami"
}
}
```
### Filtering
`list-images` output can be filtered with the `--filter` argument.
### Distribution
To filter on a given distribution, one can use `--filter` with the `distro:` prefix:
```console
$ image-builder list-images --filter distro:fedora-41
# ... long list ...
```
### Type
To filter on a given [image type](./10-fq.md#image-types) the `type:` prefix:
```console
$ image-builder list-images --filter type:qcow2
# ... long list ...
```
### Architecture
To filter on a given architecture use the `arch:` prefix:
```console
$ image-builder list-images --filter arch:aarch64
# ... long list ...
```
### Combinations
Filters can be combined to narrow the list further.
```console
$ image-builder list-images --filter type:qcow2 --filter distro:fedora-41
# ... list ...
```
# Blueprints
Images can be customized with [blueprints](https://osbuild.org/docs/user-guide/blueprint-reference). For example we could build the `qcow2` we built above with some customizations applied.
