There are several ways to upload media to Wikimedia Commons.
انٽيگريٽيڊ اوزار
اپلوڊ وزرڊ
The default tool, accessible from the "Upload file" link in the left menu.
Supports fields prefilling.
Possible customisation: default license in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-uploads
Basic upload form, is the original upload interface. It is still useful if uploading files that do not use {{Information}} template, like files that use {{Artwork}}, {{Photograph}}, {{Art photo}} or {{Book}} templates. For example if you want to upload file using {{Artwork}} and {{PD-old-100}} templates you can prefill
== {{int:filedesc}} ==
{{Artwork
|wikidata = Q....
|source = .....
}}
== {{int:license-header}} ==
{{PD-Art|PD-old-100}}
[[Category:.......]]
and paste it into the window.
This ECMAScript can be integrated with the importScript(); feature for uploads with a chosen chunk size. It avoids some Upload Stash oddities not yet handled by the Upload Wizard.
- Supports individual uploads up to 4 GB

ڪامن وزرڊ ڏانهن چاڙهيو اينڊريوئڊ ذريعي سان
A free Android app is available for uploading images directly to Commons. The tool can be found on Google Play and on the open source repository F-Droid. The code is under the Apache license.
There is alternative simpler open-source CommonsLab Android app for uploading directly to Commons. The code is under the MIT license.
Offroader is an Android app, written to show, how an upload of large files (also with slow or bad internet connections) could work better with other Upload tools. It is an demonstrator and can write protocols, that - if sent to developers - can help developers identify problems of the MW upload process. It is available as an unpaid and a full paid version from a number of app shops.

The iOS app Commons Uploader is not currently available on the app store. It used to work with devices running iOS 12 or newer. The app lacked much of the functionality of the Android app. It did not allow the user to review other recent Commons uploads and its map function was limited.
The similar Wiki Uploader does its job with some quirks. It is compatible with iOS 9 and newer, but has not been updated since 2019.
Only images taken in the last couple of days can be uploaded and the app frequently freezes for about 30 seconds. Categories are suggested as soon as the first letters are typed but the bright yellow font color is very hard to read. Title and description fields are automatically filled with the location and date metadata if a single image is selected. This information has to be manually copied to proceed with several images. When several images are uploaded the author information is usually only added to the first one and has to be added manually to the others.

FileImporter
The FileImporter (instructions here) is a Wikimedia Commons extension which imports the file including all data when all prerequisites are met.
Technically, the files won't be "moved", but "copied". The tool provides a "Export" link to the local wiki in order to allow moving the file to Wikimedia Commons.

This page will generate code that you can copy and paste when moving an image from a Wikipedia to Commons. Note that you still need to verify the source and only transfer images that have reasonable licenses. You also still need to give the image a category, although the assistant is hooked up to CommonSense, so it can suggest them at the same time. Developed by User:Magnus Manske.
