Featured pictures Featured pictures are images from highly skilled creators that the Wikimedia Commons community has chosen as some of the highest quality on the site. Simply click on the name of a category on this page to see the featured images for that subject. To reuse any images from Wikimedia Commons please see this guide. There are currently 22,254 such images in the Commons repository which is roughly 0.015% of the available images (146,494,039). All featured images are entered into our annual Picture of the Year competition.
