==Requirements==
Whenever you upload an image, you should meet the following minimal requirements.
#<span id="always tag"><span id="copyrights_in_mind">'''Always tag your image with one of the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|image copyright tags]]'''. When in doubt, do '''not''' upload copyrighted images.</span></span>
#<span id="no credits"><span id="cite_sources">'''Always specify on the description page where the image came from (the source) and information on how this ''could'' be verified. Examples include scanning a paper copy, or a URL, or a name/alias and method of contact for the photographer.''' For screenshots this means what the image is a screenshot of (the more detail the better). Do not put credits in images themselves. </span></span>

==Rules of thumb==
Below this brief checklist of image use rules is the detailed reasoning behind them.
#<span id="use_image_description_page">Use the [[Help:Image page|image description page]] to describe an image and its copyright status.</span>
#<span id="use_a_clear_title">Use a clear, detailed title. Note that if any image with the same title has already been uploaded, it will be replaced with your new one.</span>
#<span id="high-res">Upload a high-resolution version of your image whenever possible (unless the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|fair use]]; see [[#Fair use considerations|Fair use considerations]] for details), and use the automatic thumbnailing option of the [[Wikipedia:Extended image syntax|Wikipedia image markup]] to scale down the image. MediaWiki '''accepts''' images up to '''20 MB''' in size. Do not scale down the image yourself, as scaled-down images may be of limited use in the future.</span>
#<span id="edit for relevancy">Crop the image to highlight the relevant subject.</span>
#<span id="no text">If you create an image that contains text, please upload also a version without any text. It will help Wikipedians translate your image into other languages.</span>
#[[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Color coding|Try not to use color alone]] to convey information, as it is inaccessible in many situations.
#<span id="image formats">Use [[JPEG]] format for photographic images; [[Scalable Vector Graphics|SVG]] format for icons, logos, drawings, maps, flags, and such; [[Portable Network Graphics|PNG]] format for software screenshots and when only a [[Raster graphics|raster image]] is available; [[GIF]] format for inline animations; and [[Ogg]]/[[Theora]] for video.</span>
#<span id="use captions">Add a good [[Wikipedia:Alternative text for images|alternative text for images]].</span>
#In general, there is no need to specify thumbnail size.  Users can select their ideal size in [[Help:Preferences|preferences]].
#<span id="shocking images">Do not place shocking or explicit pictures into an article unless they have been approved by a consensus of editors for that article.</span>

==Non-free use==
:''Main page: [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline]]''
When a non-free image is used on Wikipedia under a claim of [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|fair use]], a justification for its usage, called a '''fair use rationale''', must be presented in the [[Help:Image page|Image description page]]. A separate rationale must be provided ''for each use of the image''. If you are claiming fair use, you '''must''' include two things on the image description page:
# An appropriate fair use license tag. See [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free]] for a list.
# A ''detailed fair use rationale''.

This justification will help other users determine if the "fair use" could apply to a wide variety of uses or a narrow range of uses. It will also help determine if the given claim of fair use is appropriate for Wikipedia in the first place.

<span style="color:red">'''Images that do not include both a fair use copyright tag and a detailed fair use rationale will be deleted!'''</span>
