All images in this gallery could be re-created using vector graphics as SVG files. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.
Usage:{{Convert to SVG}} – images that should be converted to the vector format SVG
This image was uploaded in a format such as JPEG (or GIF). It could be stored, however, in the PNG format which supports alpha transparency and lossless compression, meaning that changes do not reduce the image quality. If possible, please upload a PNG version of this image (from a non-JPEG source or with existing compression artifactsremoved). After doing so, replace this template with {{SupersededPNG|New Image.png}}, and please replace all instances of the previous version throughout Commons (noted under the "File links" header). For more information, see Commons:Preparing images for upload.
All the SVG images in this gallery contain embedded raster graphics.[1] Such images are liable to produce inferior results when scaled to different sizes (as well as possibly being very inefficient in file size). If appropriate to do so, they should be replaced with images created using vector graphics. Note: This template is only supposed to be used if the SVG file mixes vector and raster graphics. If the SVG file only contains raster graphics {{FakeSVG}} is supposed to be used. See also {{TopoSVG}}.
This image is not a real SVG file and is just a wrapper containing one or more raster graphics without vector coding. Using SVG as just a wrapper is undesirable. Note: This template should be used if the SVG file contains only raster graphics. If the SVG file contains both vector and raster graphics, then use {{BadSVG}}.
All the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) in this user page appear to have been inadequately vectorized, for example, by auto-tracing, and may require revectorization to meet quality standards. Automatic tracing of complex images can produce overly-large files, inaccurate outlines, and often miss out smaller details completely. Please consider editing this image by hand in a vector editor to improve it. For further information please see our picture tutorial and SVG help (or check the talk page). For assistance, refer to the Graphics Lab.
The file size of this SVG image may be abnormally large because most or all of its text has been converted to paths rather than using the more conventional <text> element. Unless rendering the text of the SVG file produces an image with text that is incurably unreadable due to technical limitations, it is highly recommended to change the paths back to text. Doing so will ease the process of localizing this image to other languages and is likely to reduce the file size in a significant scale. Other SVGs containing path-based text can be found at Category:Path text SVG. For more information, see SVG: Fonts and Preparing images for upload: Text.
The images in this gallery were uploadedas GIF, while a different format would have been more suitable. Commons discourages the use of GIF files, except for animations. See Commons:File types for more information. If possible, please upload a PNG version (or JPEG for some photos) of this image, and mark the GIF image as {{Superseded|‹new image name›}}. If you like, encourage other Wikimedia projects using the GIF to use the new version instead. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with {{Convert to SVG}} instead of {{BadGIF}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{Convert to PNG}}. For more information, see {{BadGIF}}.
All images in this user were uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with {{Convert to SVG}} instead of {{BadJPEG}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{Convert to PNG}}. For more information, see {{BadJPEG}}.
The files in this gallery were uploaded in PDF, despite containing only graphic data.
If possible, please upload an (extracted) image version of this file instead. See Commons:File types for more information.
This image was uploaded in the PNG or GIF (or other lossless) image format. However, it contains visible lossy compression artifacts. These artifacts may have come from the JPEG format, from saving a single colorful image as GIF instead of PNG or from saving an animated GIF using the incorrect settings (See also Dither). If possible, please provide a superior version of this file, derived from a non-lossy source (or with artifacts removed). If applicable, please replace all instances of the artifact version throughout Wikimedia projects, tag the old version with one of these templates, and remove this tag. For more information, see Commons:Preparing images for upload and Commons:Media for cleanup.

This image was uploaded as a JPEG, which is an acceptable file format. However, it displays high levels of JPEG artifacts due to excessive compression. If possible, please re-upload this image with less compression for higher quality, or consider uploading it in PNG format. Proper downsizing and compression can be performed with various image-editing programs. After replacing this image with a higher quality version, please remove this tag. For more information, see Commons:Preparing images for upload.
Some images in this gallery or category may need to have their borders removed. Where borders are desired they should be added with wikimarkup or code.
NOTE: Engravings, etchings, photogravures, or any image where information would be lost, or the frame is integral part of the original postcard, document etc., DO NOT NEED their borders cropped; a cropped image of this type generally will violate the original artistic intent of the image, which includes the paper surrounding it. Especially images with {{Border is intentional}} should be not overwritten. If it is desirable to have a cropped version for specific uses, this should be uploaded as a separate file, and linked back to the original. This can be requested by using {{Extract image}} instead.
If the file is a photo of an artwork in perspective and with context (a physical frame, a place where the work is located etc.), use {{Extract image}} for request for a detailed image or a flat copy.
Any text from the border should be included in the image description. If the border contains author and license information, this may also be embedded in the file itself and the tag, {{Metadata from image}}, should be added.
Caution: Before removing a watermark from a copyrighted image, please read the WMF's analysis of the legal ramifications of doing so, as well as Commons' proposed policy regarding watermarks.

This page includes images about: . This image (or article or category) allows creating additional images (as from a page with portraits). Crop new images from this page (or its source) and upload each separately. For more about image cropping, see: Commons:Media for cleanup.
Use {{Image extracted|xxx.ext}} to link the extracted images.
This image was uploaded with an opaque background where it should have been transparent. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image, derived from a non-JPEG source so that it has an alpha channel and no compression artifacts (or with existing artifacts removed). If it is not possible to obtain a cleaner version then consider creating a new, derivative, image with the background removed, while leaving this image alone; use templates such as {{Retouched picture}} and {{Derivative versions}} as appropriate; then ignore the rest of these requests. After doing so, please:
If the thumbnail on the right side is in the correct orientation, please just purge this image (maybe refresh your browser cache) and remove this template.
Please add the parameters |degree=90/180/270 (clockwise) if you want SteinsplitterBot to automatically rotate this image. (Note that this currently only works for individual images, not categories.) (change)
This image (or all images in this category) uses inside labels or attached captions in a specific script or language and should be converted to a language neutral form. This would allow its use in all Wikimedia projects and, more importantly, all Wikimedia languages.
This image is a scaled version of an original. Please re-upload the full resolution version. If the name of this image refers to its size, upload the larger version to a different name which does not do so and update all existing references to this image. When the larger version is available on Commons with a different name, mark this image as a {{Duplicate}} (unless it isn't, for example if this is a hand-tweaked low-resolution icon).
Please notify the uploader with {{subst:do not upload thumbnails}} ~~~~ or {{subst:dont upload Wikipedia thumbnails}} ~~~~ when placing this tag.
This image (or all images in this category/page) is very small, unfixably too light/dark, or may not adequately illustrate the subject of the image If a higher-quality version of this particular image is available, please replace this one; otherwise, a supplemental image illustrating this subject and available under a free license should be found or provided and uploaded as a separate file.
This image needs restoration.
If the old version is still useful, for example if restoring the image will alter the image significantly, upload the new version under a different title so that both can be used. E.g. Mount_Everest.jpg and Mount_Everest_-_restored.jpg. After uploading the restored version, replace this template with the following code. Replace the italicised name with the file name in question. {{superseded|File:Mount Everest - restored.jpg|image restored}}
