Wikimedia Commons

Overview

Wikimedia Commons is a media repository for finding images and other resources. Check the license and attribution requirements for each file.

Key features

• Resource Query: Search media files on different themes
• Permit statement: look at authorization and signature requirements item by item

Suitable uses

The preparation of materials suitable for site profiles, articles and creative projects requires the inclusion of permit checks in the selection process.

Getting started

First, resources are identified by theme, then size, structure and range are checked. Check the permissions, signatures and restrictions for each material and keep the necessary downloads and permission records.

Things to check

The material licence does not necessarily cover trademarks, portraits or property rights. Sensitive uses require additional cross-checks with images of people.

Pricing and availability

Account requirements, pricing, export limits and regional availability can change. Check the current official terms before using the service. This directory does not promise a particular free allowance or price.
