Images inserted into pages should be for illustrative purposes and relevant to the section or paragraph. For example: a character's Game Appearances section could have a screenshot of a relevant cutscene. Images used in pages should be formatted as a thumbnail, preferably with a short caption describing the image. Large images should also be given a preset thumbnail size:

Images can also be displayed in infobox templates. This should be an illustrative image of the subject, such as a character's artwork, a game's cover, a screenshot of a location, and so on. Infoboxes use the <code>image=</code> or <code>imagecover=</code> parameters to display whichever image is inserted there. As the template already renders the image itself, the image parameters merely requires the image's filename without the use of brackets, <code>File:</code>, or additional options. A caption can still be added to infobox images, which will be displayed beneath the image.
An image can also be displayed in an infobox as an illustrative depiction of the page subject, such as a character's artwork, a game's cover, a screenshot of a location, and so on.

Multiple images can also be added to an infobox by creating gallery tabs. This is achieved by enclosing a list of images in <code><nowiki><gallery></gallery></nowiki></code> tags and assigning them captions, with the captions becoming the tab names. Galleries in infoboxes should only be used if a subject has multiple depictions or covers across media titles or re-releases. As such, the tabs should be named after the abbreviated platform or media title that the image is from.
