ShareX can capture the various type of areas, rectangle, window, full screen, custom area, eclipse, diamond… You can take screenshots or you can record a video and export it to GIF or MP4. Windows is the most popular platform, while Windows 7 introduced the Snipping tool there are tools that can improve a basic product even further. All of the tools listed can substitute commercial products and can save you some money. Then one day I said, why not write a post about Top 3 Free Screenshot tools. Further work in this area will be required to get Shutter working on Wayland.While there are some very good commercial products, there are alternatives that are free and work just as well. Wayland handles screen-capture very differently to Xorg. For now, you can’t take screen grabs in Shutter on Wayland. The app does open and you can edit screenshots (or open screenshots to edit), save them, upload the, etc. To add the official Shutter PPA (which only contains packages for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and 21.04 at the time of writing) run this command in a new Terminal window: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shutter/ppaįollowed by this one to actually install Shutter on your Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or other supported distro: sudo apt update & sudo apt install shutterįinally, launch the app using your preferred app launcher and the rest you can take from there!Īt present Shutter only half-works on Wayland. New releases are made often and can be found on the Shutter GitHub page (which is where development is now focused). Shutter is once again active development. You can also crop images and use the ‘pixelate’ tool to glitch-out any sensitive data on show, like email addresses (or in my case, the omg! staging server address in Firefox screenshots).
Shutter’s editing/markup/annotating tools are robust and allow you to quickly add (and move/edit) arrows, shapes, icons, call outs, text, counters, and more. It’s great to see the app back and while other tools, like the terrific Qt tool Flameshot (on our list of the best Ubuntu apps) function as solid stand ins, I do have a particular affinity for this utility.
I first wrote about Shutter in 2009 and used it, more or less, as my default screenshot taking and screenshot markup tool up, right up until the wheels fell off sometime in 2016. You can take a screenshot of a specific area, window, your whole screen, or even of a website – apply different effects to it, draw on it to highlight points, and then upload to an image hosting site, all within one window.” Before we look at how to install Shutter on Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and any other Linux distro based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS here’s a recap on the tool’s core feature set, direct from the developers themselves:
