GNOME Screenshot is a desktop environment-agnostic utility for taking screenshots which is no longer being developed. It was part of the GNOME Utilities (gnome-utils) package, but was split into its own package [2] for the 3.3.1 version in 2011. [3] It was the default screenshot software in GNOME until it was replaced by a built-in utility in GNOME Shell version 42. [4]

Contents

It provides several options, including capturing the whole desktop or just a single window, a time delay function, and some image effects.

These options are also default bound to keyboard shortcuts:

Similar applications include Flameshot, Shutter which provides more options, and Spectacle in KDE.
