Flameshot makes it easy to take screenshots on Linux and annotate them with arrows, boxes, and callouts — no external editor required. Flameshot is the Linux screenshot tool I’ve been longing for.................

The app lets take a screenshot of your whole screen or a specific section, annotate it, and then save it locally or upload to Imgur, with the URL automatically copied to your clipboard ready to paste elsewhere.

A powerful open source screenshot and annotation tool for Linux, Flameshot has a varied set of markup tools available, including:

Freehand drawing
Lines
Arrows
Boxes
Circles
Highlighting
Blur
Text
Pin


You can customise the color, size and/or thickness of many of these image annotation tools.

Just mucking about

There are also on-screen buttons to:
Move screen selection
Undo
Copy to clipboard
Save file
Upload to Imgur


Many of these options can be accessed by pressing keyboard shortcuts with the app in focus:
Key Description
Arrow keys = Move selection 1px
SHIFT + Arrow key = Resize selection 1px
ESC = Quit capture
CTRL + C = Copy to clipboard
CTRL + S = Save selection as a file
CTRL + Z = Undo the last modification
Right Click = Show colour picker
Mouse Wheel = Change the tool’s thickness


As Flameshot is free, open source software you can download and install it on pretty much any Linux distribution by compiling the source code, or downloading the .deb, .rpm or AppImage packages.

Definitely worth the effort, right?
Sure is!!!
And given a bit more time, it'll probably become a bit more versatile :thumbup:

Good news if you’re running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or Mint 19 +
