## AI overview

Vercel Container Registry repositories can now be made public. Public repositories allow any Vercel team to pull and use their images while retaining read-only access; repositories remain private by default.

## Source excerpt

Vercel Container Registry now lets you make a repository public, so anyone with a Vercel account can pull and use its images. Sharing already granted read access to up to 100 teams, and making a repository public opens that access to every Vercel team rather than a named set. Public access is read-only, so anyone can pull and use the images but cannot push, delete, or otherwise change the repository. Repositories stay private by default. Make a repository public from the project dashboard under Images -> repository -> Settings -> Public Access, where confirming requires typing the repository name. You can also set visibility from the Vercel CLI: Public images work like shared images in Vercel Sandbox, which accepts a team-scoped image reference in Sandbox.create(): Update your repository visibility from the dashboard, the CLI, or the REST API, and see the Vercel Container Registry documentation to learn more.
