It's all about freedom

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

  1. The freedom to use and perform the work.
  2. The freedom to study the work and apply the information.
  3. The freedom to redistribute copies.
  4. The freedom to create and distribute derivative works.

Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web are copyrighted and not permitted here. Please only upload files that either

  • are in the public domain in the source country (author died more than 70 years ago) and in the U.S., or that
  • are explicitly covered by a licence which grants the Four Freedoms.

See the list of acceptable licences. Also, please only upload useful files; Wikimedia Commons are for educational or informational content.

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