( March 2025 update: We have resolved the Play policy issue and Explore and Peer review are back with the latest v5.2.0. Kindly use this version and let us know in case of any feedback via our in app feedback option / issue tracker. )

Join one of the largest photo and multimedia communities in the world! Commons is not only the image repository for Wikipedia, but an independent project that seeks to document the world with photos, videos and recordings.

The Wikimedia Commons app is an open-source app created and maintained by grantees and volunteers of the Wikimedia community to allow the Wikimedia community to contribute content to Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia Commons, along with the other Wikimedia projects, is hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation. The Wikimedia Foundation is pleased to support community developers by offering the app here, but the Foundation did not create and does not maintain this app. For more information about the app, including its privacy policy, see the information at the bottom of this page. For information about the Wikimedia Foundation, visit us at wikimediafoundation.org.

Features:
- Upload photos to Commons directly from your smartphone
- Categorize your photos to make them easier for other people to find
- Categories are automatically suggested based on photo location data and title
- View nearby missing images - this helps Wikipedia to have images for all articles, and you will discover beautiful places close to you
- View all the contributions you have made to Commons in one gallery

Using the app is easy:
- Install
- Log in to your Wikimedia account (if you don't have an account, create one for free at this step)
- Select 'From Gallery' (or the picture icon)
- Select the picture that you wish to upload to Commons
- Enter a title and description for the picture
- Select the license that you wish to release your picture under
- Enter as many relevant categories as possible
- Press Save

The following guidelines will help you to understand what photos the community is looking for:
✓ Photos that document the world around you - famous people, political events, festivals, monuments, landscapes, natural objects and animals, food, architecture, etc
✓ Photos of notable objects that you find in the Nearby List in the app
✖ Copyrighted pictures
✖ Photos of you or your friends. But if you are documenting an event it doesn't matter if they are in the picture
✖ Photos of poor quality. Make sure the things you are trying to document are visible on the picture

★★★★★ Wendell “Mr.Miguel” MiguelSr. · Jan 4, 2023
But there's two Wikipedia media how come you two I'll be your phone need like does the phone need two applications to run equal side by side
★★★★★ Abdu Musa · Nov 2, 2024
Wikimedia Commons are very important apps for all using smartphone or computer with web3 I like takes 5 stars
★★★★★ Vally Bally · Nov 16, 2024
I got a question, how do I add images on a Wikipedia I don't know where is the button for the images on Wikipedia how do I add images my images on Wikipedia Commons
★★★★☆ Evan C · Jul 30, 2022
Very cool idea. Useful for people who like to upload photos to Wikimedia Commons and be helpful to the project. Small bugs: Upload always fails the first time, "Tap to view" in push notifications doesn't work (no response). Can't edit Depictions or remove a Category after submitting?
★★★★★ Bright NoLastName · Feb 6, 2026
Image uploading, just a favorite thing for me to support the Wikipedia
★★★★★ Angel Of Death · Nov 8, 2025
Thanks to Wiki team. You've been so helpful with my projects 🤝
★☆☆☆☆ Daniel BP · Oct 28, 2022
I would love to contribute with Wikimedia Commons but this app is unusable: interface is confusing, does not support HEIF, fails to upload pictures without saying the reason, nonsense category and classification suggestions... I have no idea what to do with the map points...
★☆☆☆☆ CC · Feb 12, 2023
Nearly unusable. Photo disappears replaced by gray placeholder 5 seconds after you click on almost any listing.
★☆☆☆☆ Rabar Ba · Apr 15, 2024
I put the logo of my country's movie or club in their articles, but they delete it on the grounds of copyright!! Is there any way to not delete it.?
★☆☆☆☆ Facundo Fernandez · Jul 25, 2025
It is really outdated, very limited, and is nothing compared to the Wikipedia app.
