Tails includes several applications for image manipulation, graphic design, and page layout:

  • GIMP, an image editor.

    You can use GIMP to edit, enhance, and retouch photos and scans, create drawings, and make your own images.

    GIMP has user manuals in several languages.

  • Inkscape, a vector-based drawing application.

    You can use Inkscape to create a wide variety of graphics such as illustrations, icons, logos, diagrams, maps, and web graphics.

    The Inkscape website has tutorials in several languages.

These applications can be started from the Applications ▸ Graphics menu.

You can also install using the Additional Software feature:

  • Scribus, a page layout application.

Most files contain metadata, which is information used to describe, identify, categorize, and sort files. For example:

  • Cameras record data about when and where a picture was taken and what camera was used.
  • Office documents automatically add author and company information to texts and spreadsheets.

Use Metadata Cleaner to clean metadata from your files before sharing them.
