The Graphics Lab helps improve all graphical content stored on Wikimedia Commons and the English Wikipedia.

Wikigraphists work to improve the quality of the images that have been proposed by the community. This involves work such as extracting key elements from photos, improving the color of images or emphasizing the main subject, "stitching" multiple images together and often vectorizing images — converting to Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). We also create new drawings, diagrams and maps when requests are made to do so.

Interested in helping out? Check out the uploading standards, then go to one of the workshops you are skilled at, and lend a hand. You can also add your entry to Wikigraphist abilities and yourself to Category:Wikigraphists you can also add {{User Wikigraphist}} or {{Mbox Wikigraphist}} to your userpage.

Can't draw a thing? You can still help us: We need people to find images that need improvement and to submit them. Anyone can make requests, even unregistered users.

For examples of work done by the Graphics Lab, see the archives of past work.

We await your request(s) for image improvement and creation of images at the workshops.
