*We only accept '''.jpg''' for photos and screenshots.  '''Please do not upload screenshots in the .png format.'''  The .svg and .png formats are '''only''' for line drawings, and for pictures which utilise transparency. 
*Remember that your pictures will generally be seen at a width of '''no more than''' 250px.  Crop them in such a way as to emphasise the subject at that small width.
*'''Try to keep keep your file size below about 100kb'''.  This is usually easy to do as long as you keep your total width less than 800px. 
*Filenames should be '''standard, comprehensible English words''' which meaningfully describe the image.  '''Do not''' submit filenames comprised of  meaningless alphanumeric strings.  You don't need to rename the file on your computer; you are able to give it a new name by modifying the <code>Destination filename</code> field below.
*All uploads must be properly licensed by selecting one of our [[:category:copyright templates|copyright messages]] from the drop-down at the bottom of this page.  '''Pictures which do not have a copyright message affixed are subject to immediate deletion.'''
*If you are uploading multiple pictures, we recommend you use [[Special:MultipleUpload]].  It'll save you time.
