Wikimedia Commons, or simply Commons, is a wiki-based media repository of free-to-use images, sounds, videos and other media.[1] It is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation.
Files from Wikimedia Commons can be used across all of the Wikimedia projects[2] in all languages, including Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, Wikisource, Wikiquote, Wiktionary, Wikinews, Wikibooks and Wikispecies, and can also be downloaded for offsite use. As of January 2025, the repository contains over 112 million free-to-use media files, managed and editable by registered volunteers.[3]
