Introduction

All images should preferably not be overprinted or watermarked (e.g. with a site or contributor name).

Scanned card images should preferably be in the PNG format unless not available and have a resolution of 400x580 pixels (non-scanned images, such as anime screenshots or images from video games or websites, should be uploaded at their original resolution and in their original format if possible). Any borders or surroundings should be removed. If there is an image already on the server that meets these criteria and you would like to upload a "cleaner" image, please contact one of the admins first. If there is no image, check the card galleries first, then please feel free to upload it but keep the specs as close to preferred as possible.

For images of booster packs, a resolution of 325x580 pixels is preferred; images of booster boxes should be kept within 580x580 pixels.

Card pages should use the most recent English print of a card, or the most recent Japanese print if the card has not been released in English yet. If the card is manga- or video game-only, an image of that card from the most recent series or video game it appeared in (with a preference to a manga image) should be used instead, again in English if the media has had an official English release, and otherwise in Japanese. If the card is anime-only, an image of that card from the most recent series it appeared in should be used, this time in Japanese if the media has had an official Japanese release, and otherwise in English.

Please remember this website is a dynamic site and changes occur all the time; if your image is replaced because it doesn't fit the current image policy, please do not be offended. We are trying to collect the best Yu-Gi-Oh! images to improve our articles.

Naming OCG/TCG card images Edit

Guidelines
OCG/TCG File names are to be standardized as follows: CardName-SET-LN-R-ED-Misc.jpg or CardName-SET-LN-R-ED-Misc.png CardName should reflect the name of the card's article. In the card name please spell it exactly as it appears on the card, including letters with diacritics and ligatures (Á Ǣ Æ) and characters from non-Latin writing systems (such as Greek). All other characters should be omitted from the filename, including whitespace, dashes (- – — － −), wikimarkup characters (: ; # { [ \| ] } ), and other punctuation and symbols (. , ? ! & " ' ` 「」【】 „ “ ~ @ $ ^ % / \ ( ) ／ < > _ … ° ≈ ≠ ± × ÷ ← → ● • · § ∞ ¡). SET* is the two to four character abbreviation used for the set's name (e.g., MFC for Magician's Force, 301 for "The New Ruler", etc.). Some early cards have no set abbreviation. In this case, certain "in house" abbreviations have been decided upon. These currently include:
Booster.1 = B01 Booster.2 = B02 Booster.3 = B03 Booster.4 = B04 Booster.5 = B05 Booster.6 = B06 Booster.7 = B07 Vol.1 = V1 Vol.2 = V2 Vol.3 = V3 Vol.4 = V4	Vol.5 = V5 Vol.6 = V6 Vol.7 = V7 Starter Box = SB Starter Box pre-order = SBP EX Starter Box = E Official Guide Starter Book = GSB Duel Monster II tournament meeting experience = DME Premium Pack 1 (OCG-JP) = P1 Premium Pack 2 (OCG-JP) = P2 Limited Edition (set) = L1		Limited Edition Pack 2 = L2WJ The Valuable Book 1 promotional cards = VB1 Game Boy Duel Monsters Promos: Series 1 = G1 GameBoy Duel Monsters Promos: Series 2 = G2 PlayStation True Duel Monsters Promos: Series 1 = S1 Premium Pack 2: Dark Ceremony = DC Game Boy Duel Monsters Promos: Series 1 (Tournament) = DM1 GameBoy Duel Monsters Promos: Series 2 (Tournament) = DM2 Asian Tournament Promos: 1999 = T1
LN is a two-letter abbreviation indicating language/region.
EN = English (worldwide release) EU = European-English NA = English cards with no language ID AU = Australian-English AE = Asian-English JP = Japanese CH = Chinese		FR = French DE = German FC = French-Canadian IT = Italian KR = Korean PT = Portuguese SP = Spanish TH = Thai
R is to indicate card rarity.
Ghost Rare = GR Holographic Rare = HGR Ultra Parallel Rare = UPR Super Parallel Rare = SPR Normal Parallel Rare = NPR Ultra Secret Rare = UScR Secret Ultra Rare = ScUR	Secret Rare = ScR Ultimate Rare = UtR Ultra Rare = UR Super Rare = SR Holofoil Rare = HFR Rare = R Common = C		Duel Terminal Secret Parallel Rare = DScPR Duel Terminal Ultra Parallel Rare = DUPR Duel Terminal Super Parallel Rare = DSPR Duel Terminal Rare Parallel Rare = DRPR Duel Terminal Normal Parallel Rare = DNPR Starfoil Rare = SFR
ED is the availability of the card. (This generally does not apply to Japanese cards, except for "LE" and "DT".)
1E = 1st Edition UE = Unlimited Edition LE = Limited Edition DT = Duel Terminal Card SC = Strategy Card
If the card was originally released before the Magic-Spell switch, and the card is distinguishable as a Spell version (for a non-Spell card, if it mentions Spell Cards in its effect or lore), add -Spell to the filename. For example, Forest-LOB-NA-C-UE-Spell.png

Examples of Acceptable Upload Filenames
StardustDragon-TDGS-JP-UR.jpg TDGS-JP040 (UR) Stardust Dragon Added by Blackwings0605	StardustDragon-TDGS-EN-UR-1E.png TDGS-EN040 (UR) Stardust Dragon Added by Pcouw	StardustDragon-TDGS-EN-GR-1E.jpg TDGS-EN040 (GR) Stardust Dragon Added by Rodtheanimegod4ever

If the image is an official proxy (meaning it depicts a card, but is not the official card), append "OP" to the end of the filename.

Naming anime and manga card imagesEdit

Guidelines

Anime card images names are to be standardized as follows:

CardName-LN-Medium-S.png or CardName-LN-Medium-S.jpg

CardName is the English name of the card, and follows the same rules as for OCG/TCG card names above.

LN is the two letter language code.

JP = Japanese
AE = Asian-English
EN = English (Also includes cards from the English anime with no text.)

Medium is the medium the card appears in:

Anime
Manga

S is the series.

TOEI = Yu-Gi-Oh! (first series anime) and Yu-Gi-Oh! the Movie
DM = Yu-Gi-Oh! (second series anime) (known as Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters in Asia.)
MOV = Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light
MOV2 = Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D Bonds Beyond Time
R = Yu-Gi-Oh! R
GX = Yu-Gi-Oh! GX
5D = Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's
ZX = Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL
DZ = Yu-Gi-Oh! D Team ZEXAL

If an image of a card is unavailable, but an image of the monster itself is, such as in the form of a spirit or a hologram, add -NC to the filename. For example, AeroShark-JP-Manga-ZX-NC.jpg

Examples

Naming video game imagesEdit

Guidelines

Anime card images names are to be standardized as follows:

CardName-Game-LN-VG.png or CardName-Game-LN-VG.jpg

CardName is the English name of the card.

Game is which game the image was taken from; this is usually the same as the set abbreviation for the promotional cards included with the game or its guide (if any).
