What Fotowall is

Fotowall is a free application for making graphical compositions by layering and manipulating photos, pictures, text, live video, word clouds, and content dragged from the internet. Its listed capabilities include custom layouts and text overlays. The project changelog lists undo and redo, picture cropping, a word cloud editor, and high-quality print-ready PDF output. The browser version supports ordinary image and text operations on a canvas, but browser canvas export is listed as upcoming. That version cannot save or load Fotowall project files and does not support live camera input. The changelog lists live video, and release notes describe a live camera item for Ubuntu users with a webcam. Fotowall is listed for Linux, Windows, and web use, and the project dates to 2008. Linux users can get Ubuntu packages or AppImages, and the project supports running through Nix; Windows executables are available. The repository includes a GPL version 2 license file, and the releases page lists version 1.1.4 as the latest release. The browser version is described as having limited performance and features.
