Codex:Image use policy

Images related to WordPress and WordPress articles are welcome in the Codex. We do have some "rules" about the images.

  • DO NOT use spaces in the file names. Dashes are acceptable.
  • Name it what it is, not its usage or description. For example, this-is-a-screen-shot-of-link-manager.png is not clear. Use link-manager-panel.png.
  • Keep image width no larger than 600 pixels, if possible.
  • Keep files sizes small, preferably below 60K when possible.
  • The file types preferred are jpg and png. The png files tend to be best.
  • If you resize an image to make it much smaller, be sure and sharpen it before saving and uploading.
  • If you have uploaded an image incorrectly, upload a new version and let one of the Documentation team know to delete the old image.
