Due to this category's large backlog, high-priority images or those with particularly complex conversion needs should be submitted to the Graphics Lab in addition to being placed here. |
Images that should be in SVG format
The Graphics Lab helps improve all graphical content stored on Wikimedia Commons and the English Wikipedia.
These images were uploaded in the GIF, JPEG, or PNG format even though they contain non-photographic information. It is suggested that the original sources be revisited and that a SVG file be uploaded in their places. For more information, see Wikipedia:Preparing images for upload.
Images can be added to this category by placing the {{ShouldBeSVG}} template on the image description page. However, it is preferable to use the more specific {{ShouldBeSVG|parameter}}, where parameter is one of the accepted values listed on Template:ShouldBeSVG. Doing so will automatically place the tagged image into the appropriate sub-category and allow for more focused conversion efforts.

Upload new version
Click on the "Upload a new version of this file" link located on the file history section of the original image. Browse the new svg image to be selected as the source filename. Then, select the appropriate license (the license of the original file). If the file is in the public domain, you may select the license of your own, since you created the svg. Upload. |
