By default MediaWiki uses the well known Vector skin. Skins are similar to themes, templates or styles within other software. Specifically it's possible to compress PDFs, convert inefficient image formats such as BMP and TIFF to PNG, loslessly compress PNG, lossy compress JPG, resize images and strip EXIF data.
