Featured pictures in Wikipedia

This page highlights images that the Wikipedia community finds beautiful, stunning, impressive, and/or informative. Featured pictures are the visual equivalent to featured articles and, as such, are even more subjective. Images are categorized by the topic they represent, which is not necessarily what you might expect just by looking at the picture. There is also a category on Wikimedia Commons for images with aspect ratios suitable for wallpapering.

There are currently 1281 featured pictures.

If you wish to add a specific image to this page, please nominate it on Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates. Images listed here should be either in the public domain or covered by a free license.

One featured picture is chosen as the picture of the day. You can include this box anywhere (e.g., your user page) by adding the text {{pic of the day}} or {{POTD}} where you want the picture to be shown.
