What file formats are accepted for images?

Wikipedia accepts JPEG, PNG and SVG formats, with SVG being preferred for logos and graphics. These images  should be kept reasonably small (around 250px width) for fair use compliance. They are considered non-free content and must be uploaded directly to Wikipedia with proper fair use rationale. Freely licensed photos must be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons under the Creative Commons 4.0 or Creative Commons 4.0-Sharealike license, or be put in the public domain. Commons accepts images and graphics in JPEG, PNG, and SVG formats, with PNG being preferred for images and SVG for graphics. For Commons uploads, higher resolutions are preferred.
