# How to Localize a MED-V Image
A MED-V image can be localized, either by unpacking a packed image or by downloading an image from the server. All local images appear in the local repository.

A packed image can be unpacked to the local repository by extracting it. It then does not need to be downloaded from the server.
**To extract a MED-V image**
1. In the **Local Packed Images** pane, select an image.
2. Right-click, and from the drop-down menu, select **Extract image**.
The image is extracted to the local drive and can now be used by the local client running on the computer.
## <a href="" id="bkmk-downloadinganimagetothelocalrepoitory"></a>How to Download a MED-V Image to the Local Repository
**To download a MED-V image**
1. In the **Packed Images on Server** pane, select the image or version of the image to download.
2. Click **Download**.
The image is downloaded to your local computer.
**Note**  
The downloaded image will not appear in the **Local Images** pane until you refresh the page. Click Refresh to see the downloaded image in the **Local Images** pane.
