i would like to get an image out of my instance so i took the vm snapshot and then created a volume from that snapshot and later i uploaded that volume into the image service.

image got successfully uploaded but the type is "snapshot" not the "image".

I tried with the command line as well : openstack image create --volume <volume name=""> but same thing.

how can i ensure that the image which is getting created should be image type not the snapshot type.

TIA
