Uploading images to Commons
![Page 17: Commons 130517174823-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5560cffcd8b42a08088b4dd0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Uploading images to Commons
• Uploading media to Commons can get quite complicated and involved if there are thousands of images involved, or if there are special requirements.
• However, uploading single images or small batches of images is very simple using Commons’ “upload wizard”, which is what we will be using today.
• While we will be concentrating on images today, uploading other sorts of files (audio, video, etc) follows much the same procedure.
![Page 18: Commons 130517174823-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5560cffcd8b42a08088b4dd0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Starting the upload wizard
• Click on the “Upload File” link on the left hand toolbar.
• You must be logged into Commons for this to work.
![Page 19: Commons 130517174823-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5560cffcd8b42a08088b4dd0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Selecting a file• Click on the “Select a media file to donate”
button. You will then be prompted to select your file.
![Page 20: Commons 130517174823-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5560cffcd8b42a08088b4dd0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Selecting a file …• Once you’ve selected your file, a thumbnail will be
shown. You can upload multiple files this way, but in this example we’ll only be uploading one.
• When ready, press the “Upload” button.
![Page 21: Commons 130517174823-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5560cffcd8b42a08088b4dd0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Specifying a licence
• The next step is to specify which licence the image is released under. If you have created the image yourself, then you can select from a small list of allowable licences.
• If you did not create the image yourself, then select “This file is not my own work.”, specify the source and the image creator(s), and choose whichever licencing condition applies from the list.
