Shotwell como alternativa Linux a Windows Photos
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
Shotwell is a solid Linux alternative for users who need a simple photo viewer with basic editing and decent organization features. It covers the core needs of Windows Photos—viewing JPEG/PNG/WebP, cropping, rotating, and tagging—while staying lightweight. Power users who rely on advanced AI face recognition or heavy batch processing may find it lacking, but for everyday photo browsing and light tweaks Shotwell works well.

Abrir tus archivos de Windows Photos
Shotwell can open all standard image files that Windows Photos handles, including JPEG, PNG, and WebP (via the underlying GDK libraries). It does not use a proprietary file format, so there is no special conversion needed. Exporting edited images is straightforward—Shotwell writes the result as a new JPEG/PNG file, preserving the original.
