When licensing an image, it is common practice to multi-license under both GFDL and a Creative Commons license. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading5"><h5 id="Photographs" data-mw-thread-id="h-Photographs-User-created_images"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Photographs-User-created_images"></span>Photographs<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Photographs-User-created_images"></span></h5></div> <p>Such images can include photographs which you yourself took. The legal rights for images generally lie with the <em>photographer</em>, not the <em>subject</em>. Simply re-tracing a copyrighted image or <a href="/wiki/Diagram" title="Diagram">diagram</a> does <em>not</em> necessarily create a new copyright—copyright is generated only by instances of "creativity", and not by the amount of labor which went into the creation of the work. </p><p>Photographs of two-dimensional objects such as paintings in a museum often do not create a new copyright (see the section on the <a href="#Public_domain">public domain</a> below), as, within the United States, these are considered "slavish copies" without any creativity (see <i><a href="/wiki/Bridgeman_Art_Library_v._Corel_Corp." title="Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp.">Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp.</a></i>). </p><p>Photographs of three-dimensional objects almost always generate a new copyright, though others may continue to hold copyright in items depicted in such photographs. Whether the photo carries the copyright of the object photographed depends on numerous factors. For three-dimensional art and architecture such as buildings in public spaces, each country has unique <a href="/wiki/Freedom_of_panorama" title="Freedom of panorama">freedom of panorama</a> allowances that consider if such photographs are treated as <a href="/wiki/Derivative_work" title="Derivative work">derivative works</a> of the object and thus copyrighted; <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Freedom_of_panorama" class="extiw" title="c:Commons:Freedom of panorama">Commons:Freedom of panorama</a> outlines these clauses per jurisdiction. The shape and design of utilitarian objects, such as cars, furniture, and tools, are generally considered uncopyrightable, allowing such photos to be put into the public domain or freely licensed; however this does not extend to decorative features such as artistic elements on the object's surfaces like an artistic painting on a car's hood. If you have questions in respect to this, please ask the regulars at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Copyrights" title="Wikipedia talk:Copyrights">Wikipedia talk:Copyrights</a>. </p><p>Images with you, friends or family prominently featured in a way that distracts from the image topic are not recommended for the main namespace. These images are considered self-promotion and the Wikipedia community has repeatedly reached consensus to delete such images. Using such images on user pages is allowed. </p><p>Some images may contain <a href="/wiki/Trademark" title="Trademark">trademarked</a> logos incidentally (or purposely if the image is either freely licensed, covered under freedom of panorama, or being too simple to be copyrightable). If this is the case, please tag it with <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Trademark" title="Template:Trademark">trademark</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span>. Copyrighted elements may also be present in <i><a href="/wiki/De_minimis" title="De minimis">de minimis</a></i> in photographs, where the copyrighted element is visible but not the focus of the photograph. In such cases, <i>de minimis</i> copyrighted elements do not affect the copyright of the photograph; such a photo may still be licensed freely. For example, <a href="/wiki/File:New_york_times_square-terabass.jpg" title="File:New york times square-terabass.jpg">a photograph of Times Square</a> can be considered free despite the numerous advertising signs in sight, as these ads are considered to be <i>de minimis</i>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading5"><h5 id="Diagrams_and_other_images" data-mw-thread-id="h-Diagrams_and_other_images-User-created_images"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Diagrams_and_other_images-User-created_images"></span>Diagrams and other images<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Diagrams_and_other_images-User-created_images"></span></h5></div> <p>User-made images can also include the recreation of graphs, charts, drawings, and maps directly from available data, as long as the user-created format does not mimic the exact style of the original work. <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Public_Domain#Non-creative_works" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Public Domain">Technical data is uncopyrightable</a>, lacking creativity, but the presentation of data in a graph or chart can be copyrighted, so a user-made version should be sufficiently different in presentation from the original to remain free.

For example, Wikipedia can accept images under CC-BY-SA (Attribution-Share Alike) as a free license, but not CC-BY-SA-NC (Attribution-Share Alike-Non-Commercial).

Wikipedia pages, including non-English language pages, are hosted on a server in the United States, so US law governs whether a Wikipedia image is in the public domain. </p><p>Images may be placed into the public domain by their creators, or they may be public domain because they are ineligible for copyright or because their copyright expired. In the US as of January 1, 2024, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:COPYEXP" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:COPYEXP">copyright has expired</a> on any work published anywhere before January 1, 1929. Although US copyrights have also expired for many works published since then, the rules for determining expiration are complex; see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Public_domain#When_does_copyright_expire?" title="Wikipedia:Public domain">When does copyright expire?</a> for details. </p><p>In the US, reproductions of two-dimensional public domain artwork do not generate a new copyright; see <i><a href="/wiki/Bridgeman_v._Corel" class="mw-redirect" title="Bridgeman v. Corel">Bridgeman v. Corel</a></i>. Scans of images <i>alone</i> do not generate new copyrights—they merely inherit the copyright status of the image they are reproducing. For example, a straight-on photograph of the <i><a href="/wiki/Mona_Lisa" title="Mona Lisa">Mona Lisa</a></i> is ineligible for copyright. </p><p>Works must usually entail a minimum amount of creativity to be copyrightable. Those that fail to meet this <a href="/wiki/Threshold_of_originality" title="Threshold of originality">threshold of originality</a> and are therefore not copyrightable, fall instead into the public domain. For instance, images that consist only of simple typeface are generally public domain (though they may yet be trademarked). Editors must be aware of the origin country of the image, as the threshold of originality <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Threshold_of_originality" class="extiw" title="c:Commons:Threshold of originality">may vary significantly among jurisdictions</a>. The US has a high threshold, whereas the UK has a lower one, following a "sweat of the brow" standard. In such cases, an image that is copyrighted in its home country, but ineligible for copyright in the US may be uploaded locally on the English Wikipedia as a public domain image using a tag such as <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:PD-USonly" title="Template:PD-USonly">PD-USonly</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span>. This will help to prevent copying to Commons, where media must be free both in the source country and the US. </p><p>If you strongly suspect an image is a copyright infringement, you should list it for deletion; see <a href="#Deleting_images">§ Deleting images</a> below. For example, an image with no copyright status on its <a href="/wiki/Help:File_page" class="mw-redirect" title="Help:File page">file page</a> and published elsewhere with a copyright notice should be listed for deletion. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Fair-use/Non-free_images" data-mw-thread-id="h-Fair-use/Non-free_images-Copyright_and_licensing"><span id="Fair-use.2FNon-free_images"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Fair-use/Non-free_images-Copyright_and_licensing"></span>Fair-use/Non-free images<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Fair-use/Non-free_images-Copyright_and_licensing"></span></h4></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main page: <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Non-free_content" title="Wikipedia:Non-free content">Wikipedia:Non-free content</a></div> <p>Some usage of copyrighted materials without permission of the copyright holder can qualify as <a href="/wiki/Fair_use" title="Fair use">fair use</a> in the United States (but not in most other <a href="/wiki/Jurisdiction" title="Jurisdiction">jurisdictions</a>).

As <a href="https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Resolution:Licensing_policy" class="extiw" title="wmf:Resolution:Licensing policy">required by the Wikimedia Foundation</a> to meet the goals of a free content work, the English Wikipedia has adopted a purposely-stricter standard for fair-use of copyrighted images and other works, called the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NFCC" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NFCC">non-free content criteria</a>. In general, if the image cannot be reused (including with redistribution and modification rights) by any entity, including commercial users, then the image must be considered non-free. </p><p>Use of copyrighted material under an invalid claim of a non-free rationale constitutes <a href="/wiki/Copyright_infringement" title="Copyright infringement">copyright infringement</a> and is illegal. Media which are mistagged as non-free or are a flagrant copyright violation can be removed on sight. Editors who notice correctable errors in non-free tags or rationales are urged to fix them, if able. Voluntarily fixing such problems is helpful to Wikipedia, though many errors may be impossible to fix, such as the original source or copyright owner.

However, if you find a map, flag, etc. in JPEG format, only convert it to PNG if this reduces the file size. For further advice on converting JPEG to PNG, see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_reduce_colors_for_saving_a_JPEG_as_PNG" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:How to reduce colors for saving a JPEG as PNG">Wikipedia:How to reduce colors for saving a JPEG as PNG</a>. </p><p>Most of the maps on the <a href="/wiki/CIA_World_Factbook" class="mw-redirect" title="CIA World Factbook">CIA World Factbook</a> website were coded as JPEG, but are now coded as GIF. To update these photos, download the GIF picture from the CIA Factbook, resave it in PNG format, and upload it to Wikipedia. </p><p>Try to avoid editing JPEGs too frequently—each edit creates more loss of quality. If you can find an original of a photograph in 16-bit or 24-bit PNG or <a href="/wiki/TIFF" title="TIFF">TIFF</a>, edit that, and save as JPEG before you upload. A limited variety of edits (crops, rotation, flips) can be performed <a href="/wiki/Lossless" class="mw-redirect" title="Lossless">losslessly</a> using <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://jpegclub.org/">jpegcrop</a> (Windows) or <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://jpegclub.org/jpegtran/">jpegtran</a> (other); try to use this where possible. </p><p>JPEG files should not use <a href="/wiki/Arithmetic_coding" title="Arithmetic coding">arithmetic coding</a> due to limited browser support. Please prefer <a href="/wiki/Huffman_coding" title="Huffman coding">Huffman coding</a> for JPEG files instead. </p><p>Avoid images that mix photographic and iconic content. Though <a href="/wiki/Cascading_Style_Sheets" class="mw-redirect" title="Cascading Style Sheets">CSS</a> makes it easy to use a PNG overlay on top of a JPEG image, the Wikipedia software does not allow such a technique. Thus, both parts must be in the same file, and either the quality of one part will suffer, or the file size will be unnecessarily large. </p><p>SVG support is implemented as of September 2005 (see <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SVG_image_support" class="extiw" title="meta:SVG image support">meta:SVG image support</a>). The SVG is not directly given to the browser; instead, the SVG file is dynamically rendered as a PNG at a given size, and that PNG is given to the browser. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Images_containing_text" data-mw-thread-id="h-Images_containing_text-Format"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Images_containing_text-Format"></span>Images containing text<span id="no_text"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="h-Images_containing_text-Format"></span></h4></div> <p>If you create an image that contains text, please also upload a version without any text.

A map of Africa could be called "Africa.png", but quite likely more maps of Africa will be useful in Wikipedia, so it is good to be more specific in a meaningful way, e.g. "Africa political map Jan. 2012.png", or "Africa political map with red borders.png". Check whether there are already maps of Africa in Wikipedia. Then decide whether your map should replace one (in each article that uses it) or be additional. In the first case give it exactly the same name, otherwise a suitable other name. Avoid special characters in filenames or excessively long filenames, though, as that might make it difficult for some users to download the files onto their machines. Every letter of a file name – including the extension – is case sensitive: "Africa.png" is considered <i>distinct</i> from "Africa.PNG". For uniformity, lower case file name extensions are recommended. </p><p>You may use the same name in the case of a different image that replaces the old one, and also if you make an improved version of the same image – perhaps a scanned image that you scanned again with a better quality scanner, or you used a better way of reducing the original in scale – then upload it with the same title as the old one. This allows people to easily compare the two images, and avoids the need to delete images or change articles. However, this is not possible if the format is changed, since then at least the extension part of the name has to be changed. </p><p><span class="anchor" id="always_tag"></span><span class="anchor" id="always_tag"></span><span class="anchor" id="copyrights_in_mind"></span><span class="anchor" id="copyrights_in_mind"></span><span class="anchor" id="copyright_in_mind"></span><span class="anchor" id="copyright_in_mind"></span><span class="anchor" id="no_credits"></span><span class="anchor" id="no_credits"></span><span class="anchor" id="cite_sources"></span><span class="anchor" id="cite_sources"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Required_information" data-mw-thread-id="h-Required_information-Uploading_images"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Required_information-Uploading_images"></span>Required information<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Required_information-Uploading_images"></span></h3></div> <p><span class="anchor" id="RI"></span><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"></p><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="WP:IUP#RI"></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=Wikipedia:IUP&redirect=no#RI">WP:IUP#RI</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <ul><li>An <b><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Image copyright tags">Image copyright tag</a></b></li> <li><b>Description:</b> The subject of the image.

Gallery images must collectively add to the reader's understanding of the subject without causing <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WEIGHT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:WEIGHT">unbalance</a> to an article or section within an article while avoiding similar or repetitive images, unless a point of contrast or comparison is being made. </p><p>Articles consisting entirely or primarily of galleries are discouraged, as the Commons is intended for such collections of images. One <a href="/wiki/Rule_of_thumb" title="Rule of thumb">rule of thumb</a> to consider: if, due to its content, such a gallery would only lend itself to a title along the lines of "Gallery" or "Images of <i>[insert article title]</i>", as opposed to a more descriptive title, the gallery should either be revamped or moved to the Commons. However, a few Wikipedia gallery-only articles, including <a href="/wiki/Gallery_of_sovereign-state_flags" class="mw-redirect" title="Gallery of sovereign-state flags">Gallery of sovereign-state flags</a>, <a href="/wiki/Gallery_of_passport_stamps_by_country_or_territory" title="Gallery of passport stamps by country or territory">Gallery of passport stamps by country or territory</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Gallery_of_curves" title="Gallery of curves">Gallery of curves</a>, have been upheld at AfD. Links to Commons categories (or even Commons galleries) can be added to the Wikipedia article using the <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Commons_category" title="Template:Commons category">Commons category</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span>, <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Commons" title="Template:Commons">Commons</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span>, or <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Commons-inline" title="Template:Commons-inline">Commons-inline</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> templates. </p><p>Images should be captioned to explain their relevance to the article subject and to the theme of the gallery, and the gallery itself should be appropriately titled (unless its theme is clear from context). See <a href="/wiki/Women%27s_suffrage_in_New_Zealand#Gallery" title="Women's suffrage in New Zealand">Women's suffrage in New Zealand</a> for an example of an informative and well-crafted gallery. Be aware different screen size and browsers may affect <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Accessibility#Images" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility">accessibility</a> for some readers even with a well-crafted gallery. </p><p>Using animated <a href="/wiki/GIF" title="GIF">GIFs</a> to display multiple photos is discouraged. The method is not suitable for printing and also is not user-friendly (users cannot save individual images and have to wait before being able to view images while other images cycle round). </p><p>Fair-use images should almost never be included as part of a general image gallery, because their "fair use" status depends on their proper use in the context of an article (as part of analysis or criticism). See <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Fair_use" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Fair use">Wikipedia:Fair use</a> for details. An example of an exception might be a gallery of comparable screenshots from a video game as it appears on two different platforms, provided that the differences are relevant (e.g., if the article discusses a controversy in the gaming press about the matter). </p><p>Some subjects easily lend themselves to image-heavy articles for which image galleries are suitable, such as plants (e.g., <a href="/wiki/Lily" class="mw-redirect" title="Lily">Lily</a>), fashion (e.g., <a href="/wiki/Wedding_dress" title="Wedding dress">Wedding dress</a>), and the visual arts (e.g., <a href="/wiki/Oil_painting" title="Oil painting">Oil painting</a>). Others do not. There <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NOETHNICGALLERIES" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NOETHNICGALLERIES">is consensus</a> not to use a gallery of group members as the lead image for articles about large groups of people such as ethnicities. </p><p>The <i>default size</i> of a gallery should be understood as simply the size that images are presented as if nothing else is specified, not as the <i>preferred size</i> of the images. Disagreements about gallery image sizes should be settled like any other editing dispute, by discussion on the article talk page. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Collages_and_montages" data-mw-thread-id="h-Collages_and_montages-Placement"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Collages_and_montages-Placement"></span>Collages and montages<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Collages_and_montages-Placement"></span></h4></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="WP:COLLAGE"></span><span id="WP:MONTAGE"></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=Wikipedia:COLLAGE&redirect=no">WP:COLLAGE</a></span></li><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:MONTAGE&redirect=no">WP:MONTAGE</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">"WP:MONTAGE" redirects here.

The components of a collage or montage, as well as the collage or montage itself, must be properly licensed; and (as with galleries) fair-use components are rarely appropriate, as each non-free image used in the creation of the montage contributes towards consideration of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NFCC#3a" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NFCC">minimal use of non-free images</a>.

The default width is 220px (<a href="/wiki/Pixel" title="Pixel">pixels</a>), unless the user changes the relevant setting in preferences (before any scaling due to <code>upright</code>—see B below).</li> <li>A2. For a logged-in user, the width‍—‌before any scaling due to <code>upright</code>‍—‌is set in the <a href="/wiki/Help:Preferences#Files" title="Help:Preferences">user preferences</a>.</li> <li>B. If the <code><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Picture_tutorial#upright" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Picture tutorial">upright</a></code> parameter is present, then the initial width determined by A1 or A2 is multiplied by the <i>upright</i> scaling factor. This allows article editors to adjust the user's "base" image-size preference, according to the characteristics of a particular image. For example: <ul><li><code>|thumb|upright=1.4</code> might be used for an image with fine detail, so that it will be rendered "40% larger than the user generally specified".</li> <li><code>|thumb|upright=0.75</code> might be used for an image with little detail, which can be adequately displayed "25% smaller than the user generally specified".</li></ul></li></ul> <p>Notes: </p> <ul><li><code>|thumb</code> (with <code>upright</code> completely absent) multiplies the width by 1.0 (i.e. changes nothing)</li> <li><code>|thumb|upright</code> (with <code>upright</code> present, but no multiplier given) multiplies the width by 0.75 by default</li> <li><code class="tpl-para" style="word-break:break-word;">|upright=<i>scaling_factor</i></code> can be used not only for thumbnails but for certain other images that serve much the same function as thumbnails but do not need frames around them or captions below them.

If <code>px</code> <em>is</em> used, the resulting image should usually be no more than 500 pixels tall and no more than 400 pixels wide, for comfortable display on the smallest devices "in common use" (though this may still cause viewing difficulties on some unusual displays). To convert a <code>px</code> value to <code><i>scaling_factor</i></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> (150 / 220 ≃ 0.6818). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Infobox_and_lead_images" data-mw-thread-id="h-Infobox_and_lead_images-Displayed_image_size"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Infobox_and_lead_images-Displayed_image_size"></span>Infobox and lead images<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Infobox_and_lead_images-Displayed_image_size"></span></h4></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="WP:IMGSIZELEAD"></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=Wikipedia:IMGSIZELEAD&redirect=no">WP:IMGSIZELEAD</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <p>The lead image in an <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:INFOBOX" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:INFOBOX">infobox</a> should not impinge on the default size of the infobox.
