We present deep H$_2$ images of planetary nebulae obtained with the CHFTIR camera of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. Molecular hydrogen emissions are seen in the equatorial torus, bipolar lobes, as well as in extended haloes. Radial equatorial jets are also detected in a number of bipolar nebulae.
