It's all about freedom

All users of files found on Wikimedia Commons must be given the Four Freedoms:

The freedom to use the media.
The freedom to study the media and use information gained from it.
The freedom to make and distribute copies of the media.
The freedom to make changes to the media and distribute derived versions.

Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and by default, content you find on the Internet is copyrighted and may not be uploaded here. In addition, claims of fair use are explicitly NOT permitted on Wikimedia Commons. Only upload files that either:

are in the public domain in both the original country (author died more than 70 years ago) and in the United States, or;
are explicitly covered by a license which grants the Four Freedoms.

See the list of acceptable licenses, and note that these licences are irrevocable. Only upload useful files—Wikimedia Commons is for educational or informational content.

For works which are your own, please use the form for uploading own works.

Describing your uploads

See the First Steps for an overview of the process. Fill in the following variables in the form:

{{Information
|Description=
|Source=
|Date=
|Author=
|Permission=
|other_versions=
}}

Description: Write a descriptive and concise caption.

Source: The URL where you found the file, or write "own work" if it is your own creation.

Date: The creation date, or publication date if creation date is unknown.

Author: The names(s) of the author(s).

Permission (optional): If you're not the original author and the file was not online under a free license, then you may have to forward the author's permission to permissions-commonswikimedia.org. Select the appropriate license from the menu, or write the copyright tag in this field. See also VRT.

other_versions (optional): If the file is a modified or composed version of other file(s) on Wikimedia Commons, you may show them here. For example, in a <gallery> … </gallery> with one filename per line.

Consider organizing your files after uploading.

Help people find this file. (We have over 112 million files.)

Use a descriptive filename. Avoid camera filenames like IMAGE1234.jpg.
Write a good description of your media file. This helps search engines find your image.
Add categories to the image.
Consider adding location data to your image. See Commons:Geocoding for more information.

Other tips:

Upload the highest resolution file that is possible.
Only upload file types which Commons accepts (SVG, PNG, JPG, GIF, Ogg, DjVu, ...).
Photographs of identifiable people taken without their consent may not be acceptable, depending on the context and where the photograph was taken. Read Commons:Photographs of identifiable people and if necessary Commons:Country specific consent requirements, and use good judgment.
