In their own words
Fotowall
Fotowall is a free application for building graphical compositions from photos, pictures, text, live video, word clouds, and material dragged from the internet. Users layer and manipulate these elements on a canvas, with custom layouts and text overlays listed among its capabilities. The changelog includes undo and redo, picture cropping, a word-cloud editor, PosteRazor integration, and high-quality print-ready PDF output. PDF and SVG are listed export formats. The browser version handles ordinary image and text operations, but browser canvas export is still described as upcoming. It cannot save or load Fotowall projects and does not support live camera input. Desktop availability includes Linux and Windows, with browser access also listed; Linux users can use Ubuntu packages, AppImages, or Nix. The repository includes a GPL version 2 license, and release listings identify version 1.1.4 as latest.
