Code is added, to add a caption, to define its size, location on the page and to leave alternative text for the visual impaired . Each code or parameter is separated with a pipe (|). Codes may be in any order – with the exception of the caption, which should be last. Only the filename is required. This must be placed first.
The caption is visible to all readers, and can contain HTML markup, wikilinks and inline citations. An infobox often contains a plain image with the caption as a separate row. A good caption should succinctly identify the subject of the image and establish the image's relevance to the article, without detailing the obvious.

Also, the wiki software can change the display size of the images, so you do not need to re-upload a smaller version of the same image to use a smaller version in an article. See Wikipedia:Extended image syntax. There, you can learn how to use frames, control the placement in the article, and add captions! For more on captions, see Wikipedia ...
Note: To achieve a plain image with a caption, one can use {{Plain image with caption}}. The caption is automatically added as the image's title and alt text, and any wiki markup used on it will be correctly displayed on the caption, but will be automatically stripped down from the alt and title text. See an example here.
