- 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

- 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

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