Server → Create Image
AI-generatedSummary
Create a Hetzner Cloud snapshot or backup image from the selected server. Choose the server from the searchable list or enter its ID, then optionally set the image description.
Inputs
- Server (required) — The server to create an image from; select it from the list or provide its ID.
- Type — Image type: Snapshot (default) or Backup.
- Description — Optional description for the created image; defaults to an empty string.
Output shape
A single API response object for the create-image action.
The request posts the selected server's create_image action with the image type and description in the body. The operation does not unwrap the response, so the returned object retains the API response envelope.
