====Episode and movie screenshots====
* If used in the articles for the episode or movie that the screenshot was derived from, avoid trimming the image. Screenshots for episodes should be 320x240, or failing that, in another 4:3 ratio. Screenshots for movies should be 426x240, or failing that, in another 16:9 ratio, assuming the movie is in widescreen format. If the screenshot is used in another article, such as a character profile, trimming is allowed to focus the image on the article's subject.
* If used in the articles for the episode or movie that the screenshot was derived from, avoid trimming the image. Screenshots for episodes and movies should be displayed as the episode or movie first aired in its native resolution and aspect ratio up to a resolution of 1080p (1920x1080). Failing that, images may be uploaded at a lower resolution, but the original aspect ratio should be maintained. If the screenshot is used in another article, such as a character profile, trimming is allowed to focus the image on the article's subject.
* Episode screenshots should be as informative about the episode as possible. The best screenshots focus on major characters, depict the plot or major events of the episode, and display the episode's animation quality. Screenshots with watermarks or text on them should particularly be avoided, as should screenshots that spoil the episode's most important event.

* Screenshots used to depict errors in an episode should feature significant mistakes at first glance, such as a miscolored piece of clothing or hair, or lack thereof. Very specific errors that need a overly thorough examination of the episode do not meet the aforementioned criteria and will not be valid.
