JPEG file format is preferred for photographs and PNG format for graphics and charts.

In order to be able to add the image to the article, it must first be uploaded to one of two places:

• Wikimedia Commons is a centralized repository of free media shared by Wikimedia projects. Images uploaded to Commons can be included in Wikipedia articles in different languages, and its sister projects (Wikibooks, Wikidictionary, Wikisource etc.). This placement is optimized for free images (published under a free license).
• The Arabic Wikipedia accepts unpublished images under free license if they are irreplaceable and are not expected to have a replacement at all and to which the fair use exception applies.

Note: Images uploaded to non-Arabic Wikipedia cannot be directly included in Arabic Wikipedia articles.

image size

It is preferable to choose a large or medium resolution image. Do not upload small images because enlarging them leads to defects in them, unlike the large images that can be easily reduced in the article with the ability to view them in their original size when needed. But of course feel free to upload small pictures if that’s your only option.

Upload images to the Arabic Wikipedia

Uploading images requires logging in to an account on the Arabic Wikipedia, provided that the account has been created for at least four days and that the account holder has contributed at least 50 edits.

After logging in to your account, you can directly upload images using the file upload page, which contains an upload form with an explanation of how to use it.

Upload images to Wikimedia Commons

To upload an image on Commons, you must be logged in with your account, or you can log in with your registered account on the Arabic Wikipedia if you have a unified public account.

After creating a new account and logging in, you can start uploading images using the file upload page similar to the one on Wikipedia. It is preferable to classify the image with one of the categories used to make it easier to find later.

Wikimedia Commons has a very strict licensing policy that only accepts images with free licenses. Copyrighted images cannot be uploaded (without the consent of the copyright holder to publish the image under a free license). Wikicommons does not accept justification Fair use (eg brands). Wikimedia Commons accepts a number of free licenses to choose from when uploading an image.

How to upload pictures

To upload an image, use the “Upload File” link, and then:

1. In the “Upload File” window, enter information about the location of the image you want to upload to your computer. You can use “Browse” to facilitate this. The image will be uploaded with the same name under it on your computer, and this cannot be changed later, so please make sure to give the images an understandable name, for example Louvre.jpg and not IMG00542.JPG
2. In the “About” window, add a short bio describing the uploaded photo. This information can be added after the image has been uploaded or at any time later, since the image page is an editable wiki page.
3. Confirm the copyright notice.
4. Submit the form by pressing the “Upload file” button. The time it takes to upload is directly proportional to the file size of the image.
5. After the upload is complete, you will see a message confirming the success of the upload with a link to the image page. See that page where you can modify the data included in it by clicking on Edit this pageto complete the image data such as:
   • The photographer of the photo and the owner of the ownership right over it, in case they differ; It is preferable to mention both.
   • Source The image must show it clearly, with the path of the image if it is published on the web.
   • license; Using templates (see Image copyright identifiers) even if the image was taken from another Wikipedia version (the phrase Taken from the English Wikipedia Rather, you must copy all the information there and put a link to the page (the source of the image), or you own it.

Image switch

The Arabic Wikipedia allows you to replace the uploaded images. If you have a better version of the image and intend to replace it, you can do so by naming the image with the same name as the old version and uploading it.

If you want to replace an image in the article with another image, upload the image with a different name and edit the insert tag in the article.

Insert the photo into the article

To insert an image into an article, use the following syntax:

[[ملف:صورة.jpg|خيارات|عنوان]]

• .jpg image: The name of the image to be inserted
• Options: Contains keywords that affect the format and display of the image.
• Title: A brief explanation appears under the image.

To put a link to the image page without showing the image in the article, use the following syntax:

[[:ملف:صورة.jpg]] 

Options

You can use the following keywords:

Zoom out

It creates a thumbnail with a frame and title as well as a link to the full size image. This image is listed standard to the right of the article unless otherwise noted.

right

Displays the image on the right side of the article with the article text aligned to the left side of the image.

left

Displays the image on the left side of the article with the article text aligned with the right side of the image.

center

Displays the image in the middle of the article while the text of the article appears under the image.

without

The image will appear on the right side of the article and the text of the article will appear under the image.

Framework

The image will appear as a thumbnail with a frame and a title, adding where the image will appear in the options box.

your

To change the size of the image by specifying the width of the image in pixels while the image height is calculated automatically, and you can use this property with any of the above options (zoom out, right, left, none).

More than one option can be used together. In the event that conflicting options are used at the same time, the offer will be made according to the last option.

[[ملف:Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg|يمين|50بك|ويكي]]

If you want to end the text appearing next to the image and move to a new line after the image, you can use the following formula:

<br clear="all">

Insert a group of photos into the article

To insert a group of images into the article, use the following formula:

<gallery>
Example-1.jpg|تعليق1
Example-2.jpg|تعليق2
</gallery>

The images will appear stacked next to each other and have their own comment below.

Possible conflicts

Conflicts are possible if you try to insert an image from Wikimedia Commons with the same name as a different image on the Arabic Wikipedia. This leads to the inclusion of the image in Wikipedia instead of the required image, because the priority in the search by name is given to it.

The solution is

• Upload the image on Wikimedia Commons to the Arabic Wikipedia under a different name, with information about the source and the license. (This cannot be done directly. You need to download the image to your device and then upload it to the Arabic Wikipedia.)
• Change the name of the image on the Arabic Wikipedia. You cannot do this directly and need the help of an administrator:

1. The image must be re-uploaded to the Arabic Wikipedia under the new name.
2. Corrected insertion tags on all articles containing the image under the old name.
3. The old photo must be deleted.
