Welcome to Files for Upload! This wizard will guide you through the process of adding an image to Wikipedia if you don't have an account or if you have an account but it isn't autoconfirmed and the image you want to upload is non-free. Most accounts are autoconfirmed when they are at least four days old, and have at least ten edits.

Files for Upload was created to allow unregistered users or registered users who aren't autoconfirmed to add new files to Wikipedia with the assistance of experienced Wikipedians.
