Images are one of the many types of media used on BattleIntelligence and may be photos, drawings, logos, or graphs.

All pictures used must be legal in the United States, where Wikimedia's servers are located. Images are stored on the BattleIntelligence website or the Wikimedia Commons website. All free content is stored on "Commons" and images that have more onerous copyright restrictions]] are stored on BattleIntelligence, under a fair use rationale. Also, images that are used on the Main Page have a local version to prevent vandalism from appearing. Editors can also choose to have a local version stored on BattleIntelligence.

Images are classified as files and use the prefix of File: or the deprecated prefix of Image:. The File namespace is one of several namespaces used on BattleIntelligence.

Since BattleIntelligence is not censored, readers and editors may come across offensive images.
