About

From a set of pictures and names, WhosWho creates a PDF document with faces and corresponding names, as used in schools. WhosWho tries to make things as simple as possible for the user: Pictures can be automatically cropped to keep only the person's face. If you have a ODS/XLSX file containing people's name, just export it to CSV and WhosWho will be able to use it. A default picture can be used if you do not have a person's picture. Multiple sheet layouts are available (A4, A3, portrait, landscape…) each one in 150 and 300 DPI.
