Aktivisda
The free graphic tool that unifies activist teams·aktivisda.earth
Aktivisda is a free, open-source, static website tool that lets activist organizations create consistent visuals (posters, social media graphics) using editable templates and their own organization's colors, fonts and logos. It runs entirely in the browser with all image processing done locally, requiring no account or database. Each organization can run its own decentralized, self-hosted instance with its own visual identity. It also generates QR codes without third-party tracking or redirections.
