Upload your pictures to Wikimedia Commons, the reusable media repository

Features & Capabilities

Wikimedia Commons is an open-source app that empowers users to upload and share photos, videos, and recordings to the world's largest reusable media repository. Linked to Wikipedia, this app enables easy categorization, automatic suggestions based on location and titles, and discovery of nearby images that Wikipedia needs. With its user-friendly interface, you can create or log into your Wikimedia account, upload images directly from your smartphone, and track all your contributions in one gallery.

The app avoids copyrighted and personal photos unless documenting public events, focusing on notable subjects such as landmarks, festivals, and natural scenes. Supported by the Wikimedia Foundation, the app encourages community collaboration and documentation of the world around us through multimedia. For more details, bug reports, and source code, visit the official app website and GitHub repository.

User Reviews

Users praise Wikimedia Commons for image uploading and contributing, and value the supportive Wiki team and the international community. However, many reviews cite stability problems and crashes (especially on tablets/high-res images), an outdated UI with bugs, images failing to load, weak search/navigation, and slow upload speeds. These recurring issues suggest strong potential and community value, but significant reliability and usability improvements are needed for a smoother experience.
