Uploading files

Upload file lives in the site menu. Uploading needs a signed-in, verified account.

What you can upload

The engine detects the real format from the file’s content (magic bytes), not its name — a PNG renamed .svg is caught and stored with the correct .png extension.

Filenames

• Up to 200 characters; letters (any script), digits, spaces, and - _ . — no slashes; can’t begin or end with a dot or a space.
• The upload form converts spaces to underscores — Calpheon_skyline.png is the house style.
• Names are unique ignoring the extension: Logo.png and Logo.svg can’t coexist. Re-uploading the same name replaces the file everywhere it’s used.
• Author and License are free-text fields — fill them in for anything you didn’t make yourself (see License).

SVGs that only declare a viewBox are given real dimensions automatically, so they don’t render at zero size.

File pages

Every file has a description page (each card on the Files index links to it) showing the preview, size, uploader and date, author, license, its description — and which pages use the file.

Just the filename — no File: prefix. Sizing, alignment, galleries, and every other option: Images & files.
