The preferred formats are [[JPEG]] for photographic images, [[SVG]] for drawings and line-art illustration, [[PNG]] for non-[[Vector graphics|vector graphic]] iconic images and logos, and [[MP3]] for sound.  For video, instead of uploading, we recommend you embed YouTube video where you find it appropriate to use.  (This will help conserve Centiare's server space.)
