Welcome to the Wikimedia Commons community portal

MW-StyleGuide-CallToAction.png

Are you new to Wikimedia Commons? If so, then Welcome! Check out what we're all about (and what we are not), or just start searching for images and other media files. You can find collections of similar files grouped by topic, or by almost any other characteristic you can think of. You can even start contributing to the project in important ways, regardless of your abilities or interests, and no matter where you live or what language you speak. All information about Commons itself is available in English, and most of it is available in other languages, as well.
