Please read through our guide below for basic information on uploading images and our standards for filenames and screenshots.

Official asset sources

Only official assets found through public sources should be used.
- Please respect this decision, Thank you!
- Example of public sources include the official Sea of Thieves website, social media (X/Twitter etc) and any official asset packs (including packs from Press Kits, Creator Crew, AA, Partner programme, etc).

How to upload a file

Images can be uploaded to the Sea of Thieves Wiki here. Alternatively, if you you can upload them to the Wiki Discord.

Cosmetic chest image guide

For individual cosmetic item pages, the official chest image assets are displayed in the infobox. Bundle pages will use promotion images. Other promotional images, screenshots, and other media will be displayed in a Gallery.

Acquiring chest images

The chest images for cosmetics you own are available from the "Your Chest" section of the Sea of Thieves website.

Go to "Your Chest" on the Sea of Thieves website.
Find the desired item.
- Firefox browsers:
  1. Right-click the image and select "Save Image As...".
- Chrome, Edge, or other browsers:
  1. Right click the image and select "Inspect". A window or frame will appear displaying code.
  2. Find the link in the highlighted section beginning with "https://sotprofilecdn.azureedge.net/2-112-1817-0/Entitlement/Inventory/" and ending with .png.
  3. Open this link in a new tab.
  4. Right-click the image and select "Save image as..."
Name it exactly as it appears on the Sea of Thieves website or in-game.
Upload here, either as a single file or in bulk.
- Under "Licensing" select "This is from the game or its official website".
Once done, the file is now uploaded and ready to use.

Trinket file names

Please name the file exactly as it appears on the Sea of Thieves website or in-game with item quality and punctuation.

To upload an image of Admired 'Flame of Legends' use its full name with punctuation:

Fish plaque example:

To upload an image of Admired Ruby Splashtail Plaque use its full name with no punctuation:

Ex.: Admired Ruby Splashtail Plaque.png

Screenshot guide

Screenshot standards

HUD:	Hide the HUD unless it is important to the screenshot.
Colours:	Turn off any colour blind settings unless to highlight it specifically.
Image Quality:	Images should be of reasonable quality, and at the very least not blurry.
Lighting:	Well-lit, sunny (no storm) daytime images, unless otherwise necessary. Regions should be either Shores of Plenty or The Ancient Isles, unless otherwise necessary. Sun should be positioned above or in front of the subject; NOT behind as this can cast dark shadows on the subject.
Aspect Ratio/Crops:	It's preferred that either full widescreen (16:9) or square (1:1) aspect ratio are used for consistency. Other crop sizes may also be used in situations where the sizes listed above are not available.
File types:	Both `jpg` or `png` are preferred. User screenshots - jpg can be used to save on file size. Official assets - file type should be unchanged in most cases.
Surroundings	Where possible, avoid cluttering the screenshot with other props, treasures, npcs, players, etc.
File names	See section below for details and examples.

File name guide

Filenames are important to consider when uploading, a clear filename can help editors quickly recognise what file is being linked or used.
