Wikimedia Commons is a free online repository that hosts a wide array of media files, including images, sounds, and video clips. It was launched on September 7, 2004, by the Wikimedia Foundation, the same organization responsible for Wikipedia. The platform was created to provide a centralized database of freely usable media that can support various Wikimedia projects and be useful to the public at large. As of recent years, Wikimedia Commons holds millions of files, all contributed by volunteers who adhere to guidelines ensuring that the media is freely usable under various licenses, primarily Creative Commons and public domain.

A distinguishing feature of Wikimedia Commons is its commitment to open content. All media files uploaded to Commons must be either in the public domain or released under a free license, allowing anyone to share, use, and modify them as long as the terms of the license are followed. This fosters a collaborative environment where users from around the world can both contribute to and utilize the extensive library of media. Wikimedia Commons is structured in a way that improves accessibility and searchability, using categories and templates to organize and provide metadata for the myriad of files it hosts.

Users of Wikimedia Commons include not only individuals looking for media for educational or illustrative purposes but also institutions and educators seeking trustworthy sources of free material for teaching or publication. Wikimedia Commons supports numerous languages, making it an essential tool for visual and audio representation in a global context. The platform is constantly growing, maintained by a robust community that ensures compliance with licensing requirements and the quality of content, safeguarding the repository's mission of making knowledge freely accessible to everyone.
