Flameshot is a free, open-source, cross-platform screenshot tool with built-in annotation and editing features. It offers both an intuitive GUI for capturing and marking up screenshots and a CLI for scripting and keybind integration.
Use cases
- take annotated screenshots on linux
- capture a region of the screen and add arrows and text
- blur or pixelate parts of a screenshot before sharing
- script screenshots from the command line
- bind screenshot capture to a keyboard shortcut
- upload screenshots to imgur
When to choose
- you need screenshot capture plus in-app annotation in one tool
- you use a minimal window manager or Wayland compositor like Hyprland or Sway
- you want a customizable, scriptable screenshot utility across Linux, macOS, and Windows
When to avoid
- you need full screen recording or video capture
- you only need basic OS built-in screenshot functionality without editing
- you need automated headless screenshot testing of web pages
