You can use docker load command inorder to get the image from that tar archive file. 

docker load [OPTIONS] tar file

For a better understanding you can refer to:Load an image or repository from a tar archive (even if compressed with gzip, bzip2, or xz) from a file or STDIN. It restores both images and tags.
