The Upload Wizard is the default method for uploading files to Wikimedia Commons. You can select one or multiple files and begin uploading. Information such as date and camera position are added automatically (if available in the photo's metadata).

Where does the media work come from? (Choose the appropriate source)

• It is from somewhere else
• It is entirely my own work
• It is someone else's work from Flickr ( more information on uploading Flickr images )
• It is from another Wikimedia project (Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikinews, etc.)
• It is from a US federal government source
• It is a free software screenshot
• It is a non-free fair use image (Non-free logo, cover, screenshot, artwork etc.)
• I don't know who the author is, or I don't know what license applies

For experienced users of the classic upload form:

• Already know the license, and its copyright tag? Go directly to the main upload form or its experienced variant.
• Already have an {{Information}} template ready? (For instance, generated by the Flinfo tool?) Use the basic upload form .
