Description

Screenshot frontend (CLI and GUI) for a variety of screenshot backends.

gscreenshot provides a common frontend and expanded functionality to a number of X11 and Wayland screenshot and region selection utilities.

In a nutshell, gscreenshot supports the following:

  • Capturing a full-screen screenshot
  • Capturing a region of the screen interactively
  • Capturing a window interactively
  • Capturing the cursor
  • Capturing the cursor, using an alternate cursor glyph
  • Capturing a screenshot with a delay
  • Showing a notification when a screenshot is taken
  • Capturing a screenshot from the command line or a custom script
  • Capturing a screenshot using a GUI
  • Saving to a variety of image formats including 'bmp', 'eps', 'gif', 'jpeg', 'pcx', 'pdf', 'ppm', 'tiff', 'png', and 'webp'.
  • Copying a screenshot to the system clipboard
  • Opening a screenshot in the configured application after capture

Other than region selection, gscreenshot's CLI is non-interactive and is suitable for use in scripts.
