Join one of the most popular photo and multimedia communities anywhere! Commons is more than just Wikipedia’s image repository. It is also an independent project that documents the world through photos, videos, and recordings.
Wikimedia Commons is an open-source app that grantees and volunteers have created and maintained to allow Wikimedia Community members to contribute to Wikimedia commons. Wikimedia Commons is hosted by Wikimedia Foundation. While the Wikimedia Foundation is happy to offer the app here, it does not own or maintain the app. The information at the bottom contains more information about the app and its privacy policies. For information about the Wikimedia Foundation, visit us at wikimediafoundation.org.
