Some guidelines to keep in mind when uploading images:
* '''Licensing:''' Avoid uploading images from other websites, as the licensing for these images may be incompatible with the [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ CC BY-NC-SA] license used by bg3.wiki.
* '''Licensing:''' Follow the wiki's [[BG3Wiko: Copyrights|copyright policy]].
* '''File formats:''' Use {{InfoBlob|.png}} or {{InfoBlob|.webp}} for icons, tooltips, and other illustrative images. The {{InfoBlob|.jpg}} format is ideal for larger game screenshots. Animated {{InfoBlob|.gif}} files should be used sparingly, generally only when an animated demonstration will add explanatory value to a page.
* Consult the [[Help:Style Guide#Media|Style Guide]] to ensure your images are of the correct format.
* '''Compression:''' It's recommended to compress large files, both to conserve space and to improve page loading times for wiki readers.
