Photos on Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Commons are frequently surfaced by Google, making it a defining photo when people search for you.

A freely licensed photo ensures a high-quality, accurate image of you is available, rather than leaving it to chance with low-quality or undesired alternatives.

By freely licensing your photo, you contribute to a global knowledge resource, ensuring journalists, educators, and researchers can use it without barriers.

Any users of your photo must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if any changes were made.

Anyone can use, modify, and share the image for any purpose, including commerical.

The license provides a clear legal framework that defines how your work can be used.
