Help:Uploading files

To use an image or sound file on a wiki, you should upload the file to the wiki where you want to use it. You must be logged in to do this.

What size files can I upload?
The maximum size of uploads on Wikia is 5 MB. But it's always a good idea to keep your file sizes as small as possible. Remember, if you upload a 5 MB file, then readers have to download it when they view the page!

If a particular wiki wants a different value for the maximum upload size, then this may be possible. Please ask Wikia staff if you need this.

There is no limit to the number of files you can upload, but images and other files should be uploaded for use on the wiki. Wikis shouldn't be used just as file stores!

How do I change the site logo?
Administrators can change the logo of a wiki by uploading a new image over Image:Wiki.png. Similarly, the favicon (the icon next to the URL in the browser's address bar, and used in many toolbars and bookmark/favorite lists) can be changed by uploading a new image to Image:Favicon.ico. It is recommended that administrators protect these files from unauthorized changes.

For more details on designing and uploading logo images, see Help:Logo and Help:Favicon.

Resize an image
When uploading an image, it is best to upload it at the largest legal size you can upload to the wiki. This is because MediaWiki can resize the image that people see to any size you want without making them need to load the large image. More instruction on this can be found here.
