Open-source image viewer and editor for Ubuntu 24.04. View HEIC, AVIF, JPEG XL, RAW previews, and Motion Photos in fullscreen or floating windows.
Licasa is an open-source image viewer and editor for Linux, inspired by the classic Picasa Photo Viewer. It opens photos in a fullscreen image-sized window or floating mode, supports modern formats like HEIC, JPEG XL, AVIF, and RAW previews, plays Motion Photos and APNGs, and offers basic editing like cropping, adjustments, and export.
Why now: It was discussed on Hacker News as a Linux rebuild of the beloved Picasa Photo Viewer, drawing on nostalgia for that app.
Who it is for: Linux desktop users who want a fast, Picasa-style viewer for modern photo formats.
