We are now in an era where we can image details on the surfaces of stars. When resolving stellar surfaces, we see that every surface is uniquely complicated. Each imaged star provides insight into not only the stellar surface structures, but also the stellar interiors suggesting constraints on evolution and dynamo models. As more resources become operational in the coming years, imaging stellar surfaces should become commonplace for revealing the true nature of stars. Here, we discuss the main types of stars for which imaging surface features is currently useful and what improved observing techniques would provide for imaging stellar surface features.
