About Hugin
Hugin is a cross-platform toolchain for panoramic imaging, built on Panorama Tools and the libpano13 library. It stitches any series of overlapping photographs into a panorama or mosaic, and can be used for more than plain panoramas.
The project describes itself as stable and recommended for general use, and it is still actively developed, with version 2025.0.1 released in December 2025. The interface is translated into more than twenty languages, and tutorials and documentation are available on the project site.
