Shotwell Photo Manager Overview
Shotwell is a free, open-source personal photo manager for Linux, developed as part of the GNOME project. It is designed to help you import, organize, and enjoy your photo collection without a heavy or complicated interface. Shotwell imports pictures from cameras, memory cards, and folders, automatically grouping them by date into events, and lets you tag photos, sort them into albums, rate and flag favorites, and search your library quickly. It includes non-destructive editing tools for the common adjustments people need, such as cropping, straightening, red-eye removal, and tuning brightness, contrast, and color, with the original always preserved so you can revert at any time. You can also publish photos directly to online services and export them in various sizes. As a lightweight, native GNOME application, Shotwell is a popular default photo manager on many Linux distributions. The full offline installer holds the complete application, so it sets up on a machine with no internet connection. This page links to the official Shotwell download.
