Wikimedia Commons 5.5.0

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 dedicated to documenting the world through photos, videos, and recordings.

The Wikimedia Commons app, an open-source app developed and maintained by grantees and volunteers from the Wikimedia community, serves as a platform for contributing content to Wikimedia Commons. Hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, along with other Wikimedia projects, this app is supported by the Foundation to assist community developers. However, it's important to note that the Foundation neither created nor maintains this app. More details about the app, including its privacy policy, can be found at the bottom of this page. For additional information about the Wikimedia Foundation, visit us at wikimediafoundation.org.
