+# Paddle Support in the OpenVINO™ {#openvino_docs_IE_DG_Paddle_Support}
+
+Starting from the 2022.1 release, OpenVINO™ supports reading native Paddle models.
+`Core::ReadNetwork()` method provides a uniform way to read models from IR or Paddle format, it is a recommended approach to reading models.
+
+## Read Paddle Models from IR
+
+After [Converting a Paddle Model](../MO_DG/prepare_model/convert_model/Convert_Model_From_Paddle.md) to [Intermediate Representation (IR)](../MO_DG/IR_and_opsets.md), it can be read as recommended. Example:
+
+```cpp
+InferenceEngine::Core core;
+auto network = core.ReadNetwork("model.xml");
+```
+
+## Read Paddle Models from Paddle Format (Paddle `inference model` model type)
+
+**Example:**
+
+```cpp
+InferenceEngine::Core core;
+auto network = core.ReadNetwork("model.pdmodel");
+```
+
+**Reshape feature:**
+
+OpenVINO™ does not provide a mechanism to specify pre-processing, such as mean values subtraction and reverse input channels, for the Paddle format.
+If a Paddle model contains dynamic shapes for input, use the `CNNNetwork::reshape` method for shape specialization.
+
+## NOTE
+
+* Paddle [`inference model`](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR/blob/release/2.1/doc/doc_en/inference_en.md) mainly contains two kinds of files `model.pdmodel`(model file) and `model.pdiparams`(params file), which are used for inference.
+* Supported Paddle models list and how to export these models are described in [Convert a Paddle Model](../MO_DG/prepare_model/convert_model/Convert_Model_From_Paddle.md).
+* For `Normalize` Paddle Models, the input data should be in FP32 format.
+* When reading Paddle models from Paddle format, make sure that `model.pdmodel` and `model.pdiparams` are in the same folder directory.
