== compressing ==
how do I ''compress'' a image? [[User:Mario Kart DS Fan|i am the best and i am like a german toad so i am awesome XD]] ([[User talk:Mario Kart DS Fan|talk]]) 18:34, 3 November 2017 (EDT)
:[[Special:Upload|Allowed types]], they are already compressed from their {{wp|bitmap|raw counterparts}} based on the definitions of {{wp|JPEG}}, {{wp|Portable Network Graphics|PNG}}, and {{wp|GIF}}. What you really mean to say is how to optimize compression. JPEG and GIF, I don't know, but PNG, look at [[User:RAP/PNG|RAP's PNG Monster page (outdated)]] and [[User:Wildgoosespeeder/PNG Monstrous|my PNG Monstrous page (more up-to-date)]] how to optimize PNG compression. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 02:07, 11 November 2017 (EST)

== jpg ==

I uploaded a jpg image for the welcome back to Yoshi's island page and when I try to put it on the page and it doesn't show up? is there a problem? {{User:Astro-Lanceur/sig}}
:It wasn't typed correctly. Copy and pasting the file name helps, so you don't have to type from memory. Fixed. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:37, 1 January 2018 (EST)

== Delete ==

How i can delete an image i've uploaded ? {{User:Choco Late/sig}} 12:23, 25 March 2018 (EDT)
:You mark it for deletion using {{tem|delete}}, so typing <nowiki>{{delete|insert optional reason here}}</nowiki> will cause the template to show on the page, and an administrator will get around to it eventually. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:27, 25 March 2018 (EDT)

== screenshot ==

might be a stupid question answered somewhere already, but for n64 screenshots, are there specific plugins you need to use for taking screenshots? and is it ok if theres black bars around the image --[[User:Mistermudkip|Mistermudkip]] ([[User talk:Mistermudkip|talk]])

I think it's preferred that they be cropped, but I can't say for sure. --{{User:Lord Grammaticus/sig}} 19:56, September 13, 2019 (EDT)

==Image==

How do you upload another image from another website (i.e. Bulbapedia?) - {{user|RabbidYoshi2}}
:Use the "Source URL" field on [[Special:Upload]] and paste the image's URL in it. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 15:28, July 30, 2021 (EDT)

==New File Versions==

How can I upload a new version of a preexisting image? I don't see an option for it on the upload page. - [[User:Yoshi6]]
:Underneath the "File History" section of a preexisting image, there is an option titled "Upload a new version of this file". The image you plan to upload to replace the preexisting image must be the same type though, otherwise it won't work (for example: .png or .jpg). {{User:Sparks/sig}} 11:01, April 4, 2024 (EDT)
Thanks for the response, but there's a message saying "You cannot overwrite this file." at the bottom of the page. Here's the image I'm trying to fix: [[File:Hen1.png]] (The resolution 320 × 288, the correct one would be 160 × 144) - [[User:Yoshi6]]
