General Information

Uploading media you own

If you took a photo or created an illustration, you own the copyright of it. You can upload it to Wikimedia Commons without needing anyone else’s permission. When you upload an image you created to Commons, you agree to share it under a Creative Commons license.

Uploading public domain media

For images older than 70 years from the author's death, the property rights may have expired. These images are likely in the public domain. If you are certain this is the case, you can upload the images, but make sure to clearly state that they are public domain and provide proper attribution, as moral rights never expire.

Uploading media under Creative Commons licenses CC-BY, CC-BY-SA, or CC0

Creative Commons licenses are public licenses that allow the free distribution of a copyrighted work. A Creative Commons license is used when an author wants to give people the right to share, use, and build upon their work. It provides authors with flexibility (e.g., they can choose to allow only non-commercial uses of their work) and protects people who use or redistribute an author’s work from copyright infringement concerns, as long as they follow the conditions specified in the license under which the author distributes the work.
