They are often an important <a href="/wiki/Multimedia_learning" class="mw-redirect" title="Multimedia learning">illustrative aid</a> to understanding. When possible, find better images and improve captions instead of simply removing poor or inappropriate ones, especially on pages with few visuals.

For example, a painting of a cupcake may be an acceptable image for <a href="/wiki/Cupcake" title="Cupcake">Cupcake</a>, but a real cupcake that has been decorated to look like something else entirely is less appropriate. Similarly, an image of a generic-looking cell under a <a href="/wiki/Light_microscope" class="mw-redirect" title="Light microscope">light microscope</a> might be useful on multiple articles, as long as there are no <em>visible</em> differences between the cell in the image and the typical appearance of the cell being illustrated. </p><p>Strive for variety. For example, in an article with numerous images of persons (e.g. <a href="/wiki/Running" title="Running">Running</a>), seek to depict a variety of ages, genders, and ethnicities. If an article on a military officer already shows its subject in uniform, then two more formal in-uniform portraits would add little interest or information, but a map of an important battle and an image of its aftermath would be more informative. Resist the temptation to overwhelm an article with images of marginal value simply because many images are available. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Ethnic_groups" data-mw-thread-id="h-Ethnic_groups-Choosing_images"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Ethnic_groups-Choosing_images"></span>Ethnic groups<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Ethnic_groups-Choosing_images"></span></h3></div> <p><span class="anchor" id="NOETHNICGALLERIES"></span><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"></p><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="MOS:NOETHNICGALLERIES"></span><span id="MOS:PEOPLEGALLERY"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Shortcut" title="Wikipedia:Shortcut">Shortcuts</a></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"><div class="plainlist"><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MOS:NOETHNICGALLERIES&redirect=no">MOS:NOETHNICGALLERIES</a></span></li><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MOS:PEOPLEGALLERY&redirect=no">MOS:PEOPLEGALLERY</a></span></li></ul></div></div><p>Articles about ethnic groups or similarly large human populations should not be illustrated by a <a href="/wiki/Photomontage" title="Photomontage">photomontage</a> or <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Picture_tutorial#Galleries" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Picture tutorial">gallery of images</a> of group members; see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Images/Archive_6" title="Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Images/Archive 6">this</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive278#RfC_close_review_please?" title="Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive278">this</a> thread for the most recent consensus discussion on the topic. </p><div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Image_quality" data-mw-thread-id="h-Image_quality-Choosing_images"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Image_quality-Choosing_images"></span>Image quality<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Image_quality-Choosing_images"></span></h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="MOS:IMAGEQUALITY"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Shortcut" title="Wikipedia:Shortcut">Shortcut</a></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"><div class="plainlist"><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MOS:IMAGEQUALITY&redirect=no">MOS:IMAGEQUALITY</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <p>Use the best quality images available.

While Wikipedia is not censored, lead images should be selected with care <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1033199720"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><span role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable crossreference selfref">(see <a href="#Offensive_images">§ Offensive images</a>, above)</span>. The lead image is perhaps the first thing to catch the reader's eye, so avoid lead images that readers would not expect to see there. Unlike other content beyond the lead, the lead image should be chosen with these considerations in mind. </p><p>Advice on selecting a lead image includes: </p> <ul><li>Lead images should be natural<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>a<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and appropriate representations of the topic; they should not only illustrate the topic specifically, but also be the type of image used for similar purposes in high-quality reference works, and therefore what our readers will expect to see. Lead images are not required, and not having a lead image may be the best solution if there is no easy representation of the topic.</li> <li><span class="anchor" id="SHOCK"></span><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="MOS:SHOCK"></span><span id="MOS:SHOCKVALUE"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Shortcut" title="Wikipedia:Shortcut">Shortcuts</a></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"><div class="plainlist"><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MOS:SHOCK&redirect=no">MOS:SHOCK</a></span></li><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MOS:SHOCKVALUE&redirect=no">MOS:SHOCKVALUE</a></span></li></ul></div></div>Lead images should be of least shock value; an alternative image that accurately represents the topic without shock value should always be preferred. For example, using an image of deportees being subjected to selection as the lead image at <a href="/wiki/Special:PermanentLink/1192743397" title="Special:PermanentLink/1192743397">this version</a> of <a href="/wiki/The_Holocaust" title="The Holocaust">The Holocaust</a> is far preferable to the appropriate images that appear later in the article that show the treatment of the prisoners or corpses from the camps.</li> <li>Sometimes it is impossible to avoid using a lead image with perceived shock value, for example in articles on human genitalia. Editors may assume, per <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Content_disclaimer" title="Wikipedia:Content disclaimer">Wikipedia:Content disclaimer</a>, that readers are aware that such articles may contain such images.</li> <li>Using photomontages or a gallery of images of group members <a href="#Pertinence_and_encyclopedic_nature">should be avoided</a> in articles about ethnic groups or similarly large human populations. This does not apply to articles about things such as body parts or haircuts.</li> <li>On some mobile platforms an article's first image may be displayed at the top of the article, even if it appears well into the article in the desktop view. When placing images consider whether this phenomenon may mislead or confuse readers using mobile devices.</li></ul> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(2)"><span class="indicator mf-icon mf-icon-expand mf-icon--small"></span><h2 id="How_to_place_an_image" data-mw-thread-id="h-How_to_place_an_image"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-How_to_place_an_image"></span>How to place an image<span data-mw-comment-end="h-How_to_place_an_image"></span></h2></div><section class="mf-section-2 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-2"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="MOS:IMGSYN"></span><span id="MOS:IMAGESYNTAX"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Shortcut" title="Wikipedia:Shortcut">Shortcuts</a></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"><div class="plainlist"><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MOS:IMGSYN&redirect=no">MOS:IMGSYN</a></span></li><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MOS:IMAGESYNTAX&redirect=no">MOS:IMAGESYNTAX</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Accessibility#Images" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility">Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility § Images</a></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Picture_tutorial" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Picture tutorial">Wikipedia:Picture tutorial</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Syntax" data-mw-thread-id="h-Syntax-How_to_place_an_image"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Syntax-How_to_place_an_image"></span><span class="anchor" id="Image_syntax"></span>Syntax<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Syntax-How_to_place_an_image"></span></h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Siberian_Husky_pho.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img alt="A white dog in a harness playfully nuzzles a young boy" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Siberian_Husky_pho.jpg/220px-Siberian_Husky_pho.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="209" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="750" data-file-height="711"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 209px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Siberian_Husky_pho.jpg/220px-Siberian_Husky_pho.jpg" data-alt="A white dog in a harness playfully nuzzles a young boy" data-width="220" data-height="209" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Siberian_Husky_pho.jpg/330px-Siberian_Husky_pho.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Siberian_Husky_pho.jpg/440px-Siberian_Husky_pho.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </span></a><figcaption>A <a href="/wiki/Siberian_Husky" title="Siberian Husky">Siberian Husky</a> used as a pack animal</figcaption></figure> <p><i>Basic example (producing the image at right):</i> </p> <blockquote class="example example-block" style="font-family: Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; color: var(--color-content-added, #006400);"><p><code>[[File:Siberian Husky pho.jpg|thumb|alt=A white dog in a harness playfully nuzzles a young boy |A [[Siberian Husky]] used as a pack animal]]</code></p></blockquote> <ul><li><code>File:Siberian Husky pho.jpg</code> The file (image) name must be exact (including capitalization, punctuation and spacing) and must include <code>.jpg</code>, <code>.png</code> or other extension.

Thus <strong><span class="nowrap"><code>upright=<var style="padding-right: 1px;">scaling factor</var></code></span> is preferred whenever an image is to be displayed at something other than the default width</strong>.<sup id="cite_ref-corresp_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-corresp-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>nb 3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As a general rule, images should not be set to a larger fixed width than 220px (the initial base width), and if an exception to this general rule is warranted, the resulting image should usually be no more than 400px wide (300px for lead images) and 500px tall, for comfortable display on the smallest devices "in common use" (though this may still cause viewing difficulties on some unusual displays).</li> <li><span class="anchor" id="sizetable"></span>To convert a <code>px</code> value to <code>upright</code>, divide it by 220 and round the result as desired. For example, <code class="tpl-para" style="word-break:break-word;">|150px</code> is roughly equivalent to <code class="tpl-para" style="word-break:break-word;">|upright=0.7</code> because <span class="nowrap">150 / 220 ≃ 0.682<span style="white-space: nowrap;"> </span>.</span> <ul><li>Cases where fixed sizes may be used include for standardization of size via templates (such as <a href="/wiki/MOS:INFOBOX" class="mw-redirect" title="MOS:INFOBOX">within infobox templates</a> or the <a href="/wiki/MOS:FLAGS" class="mw-redirect" title="MOS:FLAGS">display of country flag icons</a>), for displaying reduced images sizes where space is constrained (such as images used in the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:ITN" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ITN">In the News</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:DYK" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DYK">Did You Know</a> sections on the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Main_Page" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Main Page">WP:Main Page</a>, or within larger tables such as <a href="/wiki/List_of_Nobel_Peace_Prize_laureates" title="List of Nobel Peace Prize laureates">List of Nobel Peace Prize laureates</a>), or if it is necessary to align images in columns or rows. Templates like <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Multiple_image" title="Template:Multiple image">multiple image</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> can automatically match the height or width of images with different aspect ratios, though this height or width must be hard coded to a set number of pixels because it cannot scale images to respect users' preferences.</li></ul></li> <li>Where a smaller or larger image is appropriate, use <code class="tpl-para" style="word-break:break-word;">|upright=<var style="padding-right: 1px;">scaling factor</var></code>, which expands or contracts the image by a factor <em>relative to the user's base width</em>. <ul><li>For example: <ul><li><code>upright=1.3</code> might be used for an image with fine detail (e.g. a map or diagram) to render it "30% larger than this user generally wants". (For a reader with the usual base width setting of 220px, this is 285px.)</li> <li><code>upright=0.6</code> might be used for an image with little detail (e.g. a simple drawing or flag) which can be adequately displayed "40% smaller than this user generally wants". (For a reader with the usual base width setting of 220px, this is 130px.)</li></ul></li> <li>Short, wide images often call for <code>upright</code> of 1 or greater; tall, narrow images may look best with <code>upright</code> of 1 or less.</li> <li>When specifying <code>upright=</code> values greater than 1, take care to balance the need to reveal detail against the danger of overwhelming surrounding article text. <ul><li>Images in which a small region of detail is important (but cropping to that region is unacceptable) may need to be larger than normal, but <code>upright=1.8</code> should usually be the largest value for images floated beside text.</li> <li><span class="anchor" id="LEADIMGSIZE"></span>Lead images should usually use <code>upright=1.35</code> at most.</li></ul></li> <li>Images within an article, especially those near one another and on the same side, may be more appealing if presented at the same width.</li> <li>If <code>upright</code> is completely absent, that's equivalent to <code>upright=1</code>. But <code>upright</code> <u>alone</u>, with no <span class="nowrap"><code>=<var style="padding-right: 1px;">scaling factor</var></code></span> (e.g. <span class="nowrap"><code>[[File:Dog.jpg|thumb|upright|A big dog]]</code>)</span> is equivalent to <code>upright=0.75</code>; this usage is confusing and therefore deprecated. Historically, "upright" was intended for upright (portrait) images, which look better at a narrower width. Later, the parameter was expanded to support any scaling factor, but the original name remained.</li></ul></li> <li>To present images larger than the guidelines above (e.g. panoramas), use <code>|thumb|<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:PIC#center" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:PIC">center</a></code> or <code>|thumb|<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:PIC#none" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:PIC">none</a></code>, so that the image stands alone; or use <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Wide_image" title="Template:Wide image">wide image</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> or <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Tall_image" title="Template:Tall image">tall image</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> to present a very large image in a scrollable box.</li></ul> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-center" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Qian_Xuan_-_Early_Autumn.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/45/Qian_Xuan_-_Early_Autumn.jpg/550px-Qian_Xuan_-_Early_Autumn.jpg" decoding="async" width="550" height="132" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="2700" data-file-height="647"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 550px;height: 132px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/45/Qian_Xuan_-_Early_Autumn.jpg/550px-Qian_Xuan_-_Early_Autumn.jpg" data-width="550" data-height="132" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/45/Qian_Xuan_-_Early_Autumn.jpg/825px-Qian_Xuan_-_Early_Autumn.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/45/Qian_Xuan_-_Early_Autumn.jpg/1100px-Qian_Xuan_-_Early_Autumn.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </span></a><figcaption> This image uses <code>|thumb|center|upright=2.5</code> to expand the image, center it, and clear the area on either side.</figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Location" data-mw-thread-id="h-Location-How_to_place_an_image"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Location-How_to_place_an_image"></span>Location<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Location-How_to_place_an_image"></span></h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Image_use_policy#Placement" title="Wikipedia:Image use policy">Wikipedia:Image use policy § Placement</a></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="MOS:IMAGELOC"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Shortcut" title="Wikipedia:Shortcut">Shortcut</a></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"><div class="plainlist"><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MOS:IMAGELOC&redirect=no">MOS:IMAGELOC</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Siberian_Husky_pho.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img alt="A white dog in a harness playfully nuzzles a young boy" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Siberian_Husky_pho.jpg/180px-Siberian_Husky_pho.jpg" decoding="async" width="180" height="171" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="750" data-file-height="711"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 180px;height: 171px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Siberian_Husky_pho.jpg/180px-Siberian_Husky_pho.jpg" data-alt="A white dog in a harness playfully nuzzles a young boy" data-width="180" data-height="171" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Siberian_Husky_pho.jpg/270px-Siberian_Husky_pho.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Siberian_Husky_pho.jpg/360px-Siberian_Husky_pho.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </span></a><figcaption>A <a href="/wiki/Siberian_Husky" title="Siberian Husky">Siberian Husky</a> used as a pack animal</figcaption></figure> <p>Most images should be on the right side of the page, which is the default placement.<sup id="cite_ref-left_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-left-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>nb 4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Left-aligned images may disturb the layout of bulleted lists and similar structures that depend on visual uniformity, e.g. by pushing some items on such lists further inward.

Articles carry reduced-size <a href="/wiki/Thumbnail" title="Thumbnail">thumbnails</a> instead of full images (which the user can view by "clicking through" the thumbnail) but in some file types a thumbnail's reduced dimensions doesn't translate into a concomitant reduction in file size. (In most browsers you can see a thumbnail's size by right-clicking for its "Properties".) </p><p>If one image's file size is disproportionate to those of others in the same article, you may want to reduce it by selecting a different file format: </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/GIF" title="GIF">GIF</a> images with a frame size larger than 100 million pixels (measured as pixel height × pixel width × number of frames in the animation) cannot currently be displayed in thumbnail form in Wikipedia articles. A thumbnail of a GIF image can be considerably larger in kilobytes than the original image file.</li> <li>The <a href="/wiki/Portable_Network_Graphics" class="mw-redirect" title="Portable Network Graphics">PNG</a> format is useful for storing graphics that contain text, line art, or other images with sharp transitions. It can achieve the same graphical results as a GIF file, and in many cases do so with a higher rate of <a href="/wiki/File_compression" class="mw-redirect" title="File compression">file compression</a>. For this reason, PNG format files are usually preferred to the GIF format. For images with substantial editing, or for which further editing may be warranted, uploading a PNG as well as a JPEG is common (PNG is lossless compression, so repeatedly saving edits on a PNG will not result in loss of quality).</li> <li>Animated <a href="/wiki/GIF" title="GIF">GIF</a> images have a few additional restrictions. Images larger than 100 million pixels (measured as pixel height × pixel width × number of frames in the animation) currently will only show the first frame of the animation in a thumbnail. When not using a GIF animation at its original frame size, consider creating an Ogg <a href="/wiki/Theora" title="Theora">Theora</a> movie of the animation.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/APNG" title="APNG">Animated PNG</a> images with a frame size larger than 12.5 million pixels cannot currently be displayed in thumbnail form in Wikipedia articles, a significantly lower limit than the GIF format, and is not fully supported on all browsers.</li> <li>A <a href="/wiki/JPEG" title="JPEG">JPEG</a> or other compressed image format can be much smaller than a comparable GIF or PNG format file. When there is no apparent difference in quality, such as with a photograph that has no sharp graphical transitions, a compressed image format such as JPEG may be preferable for reasons of download performance. Wikipedia is often able to achieve much better compression of JPEG photograph thumbnails than comparable PNG images, and with little perceptible loss of quality. Repeatedly loading and resaving an image as JPEG will result in loss of quality, however, as will using low settings for the JPEG; as such, if you've made edits, it can be helpful to save a PNG or TIFF copy before closing the image editor and upload that as well; this copy can then be used to generate a new JPEG after further editing.</li> <li>Where an image consists solely of line art, charts text and simple graphics, an <a href="/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics" class="mw-redirect" title="Scalable Vector Graphics">SVG</a> file can be significantly smaller than other graphics formats. This is because the data is encoded as a series of drawing commands, rather than as <a href="/wiki/Raster_graphics" title="Raster graphics">raster graphics</a>. There are <a href="/wiki/Open_source" title="Open source">open source</a> applications available for rendering graphics in SVG format. However, SVG thumbnails are rendered as PNGs.</li> <li>Rather than including an image gallery on an article, which could add significantly to the download size, consider creating a gallery/category on the Wikimedia Commons instead.</li></ul> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(4)"><span class="indicator mf-icon

For example, an image coded <code>275px</code>—presumably to make it wider than most images on a particular page—is actually rendered <em>smaller</em> than most images if the user has changed their base width to 300px. In contrast, <code>upright</code> responds gracefully to changes in the user's base width, maintaining the relative size of images in any given article by enlarging or reducing all of them proportionately. <div class="paragraphbreak" style="margin-top:0.5em"></div> <p>However, a thumbnail cannot be displayed larger than the original uploaded image. For example, if an image is coded <code>|thumb|330px</code> or <code>|thumb|upright=1.5</code> (for a reader with the usual base width of 220px), but the original uploaded file was only 200px wide,
