# Plugins

Plugins are a powerful way to extend the functionality of napari and share these extensions with the community.
While scripts and widgets can also be used to extend napari, plugins offer the most convenient method for publicly sharing additional features.
Plugins extend napari's functionality, allowing for customization and sharing with the community.
While you can use scripts and widgets to extend napari, plugins provide great flexibility.
Existing plugins extend napari to add:
- support for import and export of image and related data types.
- support for working with specialized data formats.
- domain specific features, including microscopy, climate, geoscience, and more.
Share and discover napari plugins on [napari hub](https://napari-hub.org),
[PyPI](https://pypi.org/search/?q=napari), or [conda-forge](https://conda-forge.org/packages/).
