**Important:** You can't create an image from an encrypted WorkSpace. To create an image, you must use an unencrypted WorkSpace.

Before you create a WorkSpaces image, implement the following requirements and best practices:

*   [Requirements to create Windows custom images](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/latest/adminguide/create-custom-bundle.html#windows_custom_image_requirements)
*   [Requirements to create Linux custom images](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/latest/adminguide/create-custom-bundle.html#linux_custom_image_requirements)
*   [Best practices](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/latest/adminguide/create-custom-bundle.html#custom_image_best_practices)

### Create a custom WorkSpaces image

1. [Run the Image Checker](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/latest/adminguide/create-custom-bundle.html#run_image_checker).
2. [Create an image and a custom bundle from the image](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/latest/adminguide/create-custom-bundle.html#create_custom_image_bundle).
