Screenshot Upload Rules

Readers can add their own in-game screenshots to mount, minion and gear pages. Every upload is reviewed by a person before it appears anywhere. These are the rules that review applies, and what you agree to when you send a picture in.

1. What you confirm and allow

  • You captured the screenshot yourself in FINAL FANTASY XIV.
  • You grant XIV·Codex a non-exclusive, revocable right to store, convert, scale and publicly display it. You can delete any of your uploads at any time from your settings; deletion removes them from every page.
  • Uploads appear only after review. XIV·Codex may decline or remove an upload at any time without notice.
  • If you chose to be credited, your display name is shown beside the picture; otherwise it is shown without a name. Your account is recorded either way.

2. What uploads must be

  • A real, unedited screenshot from FINAL FANTASY XIV - no other games, no external photos, no generated or heavily composited images, no watermarks or overlays.
  • A picture of the subject of the page it is uploaded to.
  • Reasonably sharp, lit well enough to see, with the subject recognizable.
  • Free of HUD, chat and interface clutter.
  • No sexual or graphically violent content, and nothing racist, sexist, homophobic or otherwise offensive (also a condition of Square Enix's license, below).
  • No identifiable names of other players without their consent.
  • Not a picture the page already has.

3. Square Enix material

  • Screenshots show material © SQUARE ENIX. FINAL FANTASY is a registered trademark of Square Enix Holdings Co., Ltd.
  • Uploads are hosted under the FINAL FANTASY XIV Materials Usage License. XIV·Codex removes any material at Square Enix's request.
