Hetzner Images API

Images are blueprints for your VM disks. They can be of different types:### System ImagesDistribution Images maintained by us, e.g. “Ubuntu 20.04”### Snapshot ImagesMaintained by you, for example “Ubuntu 20.04 with my own settings”. These are billed per GB per month.### Backup ImagesDaily Backups of your Server. Will automatically be created for Servers which have backups enabled (`POST /servers/{id}/actions/enable_backup`)Bound to exactly one Server. If you delete the Server, you also delete all backups bound to it. You may convert backup Images to snapshot Images to keep them.These are billed at 20% of your server price for 7 backup slots.### App ImagesPrebuild images with specific software configurations, e.g. “Wordpress”. All app images are created by us.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Hetzner Images API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
