What is the crowd's opinion of Ksnip?

From 3.5 billion comments

Here you can see what is supported https://github.com/ksnip/ksnip#supported-screenshot-types

Note that Wayland screenshot supports depend heavily on the compositor as with Wayland all screenshot tools just ask the compositor for a screenshot and get something back. Gnome switched with release 41 to Desktop Portal Screenshots only, so you get that popup dialog where you need to confirm the screenshot. That effects all screenshot tool that are not developed by Gnome. KDE has a similar approach with the Portal but allows skipping portal when you add some entries in the desktop file which ksnip should have by default with the next patch.

Gnome Screenshot is part of the default installation - much easier/nicer than than using a camera to take a picture of the screen. The screenshot utility I prefer is ksnip, and I recommend/use the AppImage because it is a Qt-based and the AppImage contains all of those dependencies. Nothing extra to install.

I used to use Flameshot, but then switched to ksnip due to some annoying bugs I had experienced. Not sure whether those still exist nowadays, but I kind of like that with ksnip you get a window which remembers all your recent screenshots.

Both are nice tools in any case, and I wouldn't have imagined how much a such a screenshot tool helps during your job... Colleagues be impressed of my tutorials, and it just takes me a few seconds more to draw some arrows/numbers/text on my screenshots

AFAIK, flameshot still has no one-shot option (aka. can not run without daemonising) And i think there is no delayed capture option, that works as one would expect it to work.

Otherwise the UI is nice, if one doesnt need the rest of the Screen while editing. Otherwise i would say ksnip (https://github.com/ksnip/ksnip) is the better alternative.

If you are you wanting to "directly open" into an image editor consider Ksnip. It has a built-in image editor that is fine for annotating a screen capture. I use and recommend the AppImage. Download ksnip-1.9.0-x86_64.AppImage, make it executable, and run. I have it set up to launch at startup. You can find it at

Hello, few nice alternatives are https://maoschanz.github.io/drawing/ https://github.com/ksnip/ksnip what distro are you on? Check if the software is available on your distro on this site https://repology.org/

Thanks guys for your answers and the links. I understand it's up to each user to search for the latest version of some softwares, and to install it (or not). The gap between the available version numbers seems to me to be a bit much (flameshot 0.6 => 0.10), but that's okay. The choice is mine :)

That said, no luck with the suggestions on How To Get Flatpak Apps To Use The Correct Gtk Theme - Linux Uprising Blog. I give up for now and I found a replacement : Shutter. I'll try ksnip.

Thanks again !

If you are looking for a screen capture utility, I highly recommend kSnip. Compared to Flameshot, I find kSnip to have a less cluttered interface and much easier to use. Since both kSnip and Flameshot have Qt dependencies, using the AppImages makes a lot of sense on a LM box.

Does this produce better quality screenshots than if you directly use the screenshot function of Gimp (menu "File" -> Create -> Screenshot)?

>without any bloated programs.

Gimp is not bloated?

For me personally ksnip is enough. The screenshot tool offers an editor with enough functions for me. And I cannot complain about the quality of the screenshots.

Another option is ksnip. I have been following it for couple of years, and it is shaping up to be a very nice utility. I still use Shutter, but I am close to switching to ksnip.
ksnip is available as a .DEB, a Snap, and an AppImage. ksnip is a QT based program, and so I recommend the AppImage because the QT dependencies are contained in the AppImage file. And if you do not like it, simply delete the AppImage file.
