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, or downloaded for offsite use. As of August 2024, the repository contains over 108 million free-to-use media files, managed and editable by registered volunteers.[3]
