Overview

An overview of Flameshot.

Powerful yet simple to use screenshot software.

• Customizable appearance.
• Easy to use.
• In-app screenshot edition.
• DBus interface.
• Upload to Imgur.

🔗 Considerations

• Experimentally Gnome Wayland and Plasma Wayland support.
• If you are using Gnome you need to install the TopIcons extension in order to see the systemtray icon.
• In order to speed up the first launch of Flameshot (DBus init of the app can be slow), consider starting the application automatically on boot.
• Press Ctrl+c when you are in a capture mode and you don't have an active selection and the whole desktop will be copied to your clipboard! Pressing Ctrl+s will save your capture in a file! Check the Shortcuts for more information.
• Execute the command flameshot without parameters or use the "Launch Flameshot" desktop entry to launch a running instance of the program without taking actions.
