Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Christian Camatti Menegon!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)

In other languages (translate this)

Please use SVG Thank you for uploading some images! Did you know that Wikimedia Commons recommends the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format for certain types of images? Scalable Vector Graphics are designed to look appropriate at any scale, and SVG images are easier to modify and translate, helping Wikimedia to distribute knowledge to all of the world. A lot of modern programs support SVG export. If you encountered problems or have questions, don't hesitate to ask me, a member of the Graphic Lab, or the Graphics village pump. Uploading images in SVG format isn't mandatory, but it would help. (To avoid any misunderstandings, please don't just put raster images into an SVG container as embedded raster.) Thanks, and happy editing!

(talk page stalker) @Ronhjones: it would be naïve to expect some user to adopt SVG, at least instantly. But—at very least—Christian Camatti Menegon should cease now to save raster illustrations in JPEG and choose PNG as the export file format. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 10:30, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

@Ronhjones: @Incnis Mrsi: Okay, I stopped uploading articles about organic chains because of that. I'll start rebuilding in svg, but this is not like generating a bitmap, I'm redoing these chains and it takes me effort! BTW, just wait a while. Thank you for the warning, I'll pay attention to this.

@Incnis Mrsi: File:Thionation .jpg is not even a good jpg of chemical structures. The text is quite grey and almost fuzzy. It's normal for all non-svg structures to be annotated with the {{Svg}} template, and we give one advisory message (as above) to the user. Some users do switch to svg, some ignore it. However (if useful) they will eventually be re-drawn (but not quick - some I tagged 6 months ago have just been done), and the raster version put up for delete. If you are interested in ways of making svg for chemistry, then en:Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Chemistry/Structure drawing has a lot of information (I even wrote some of it!).
