And, for the tutorials or articles I write, a screenshot tool that offers minor editing or annotation capabilities comes in handy. + +If you have a similar requirement and are confused, the [GNOME Screenshot tool][1] is an option that works with multiple screens flawlessly. + +However, it does not offer annotations. So, I will have to separately open the image using another image editor or Ksnip to make things work. + +Instead, I decided to use Ksnip for screenshots + annotations? Convenient, right? Yes! + +Let me share my brief experience with Ksnip, and why I think you should try it as well! + +### Using Ksnip for Screenshots on Linux + +I installed Ksnip using the [Flatpak package][2] from [Flathub][3]. But, you can also find its Snap package on Snapcraft. + +Packages including DEB/RPM and the AppImage file can be found in its [GitHub releases section][4]. + +You should not have any issues installing it on any Linux distribution. I am currently using it on Pop!_OS 21.10. + +![][5] + +Ksnip supports system tray integration out-of-the-box. So, you should get quick access to the tool and its options, as shown in the screenshot above. + +It lets you take an entire screenshot of two monitors combined using the Full-Screen option. In my case, the result is not pretty (considering I have two monitors with different resolutions) and the file takes up more than 9 MB in size. + +In any case, I do not have a use-case of such an option. So, I stick to the ability to take screenshots of a rectangular area. + +I created a custom shortcut to take a screenshot of an area (or rectangular region) to make it more convenient. Accurately, I mapped it with the middle-click button on my mouse. You can set your preferred shortcut if you want. + +![][6] + +Unfortunately, it does not feature a “delay” option in the system tray to initiate a screenshot after a time gap. But, you can add a delay by accessing the Ksnip editor and initiating a screenshot from within. + +![][7] + +Moving forward, it lets me accurately select a rectangular area across both the monitors, which I want. + +![][8] + +Now, these options alone let me take all kinds of screenshots. + +Once the screenshot has been taken, Ksnip directly opens the editor to let you add annotations, save the photo, or discard it. + +When compared to Flameshot, if I miss adding annotations while taking the screenshot, there’s no built-in image editor to help me with that. And, with Ksnip, I do not have to worry about adding annotations immediately; I can think it over and add annotations if necessary. + +![][9] + +It also allows me to modify the annotations, even after I saved the image to storage. What a nifty feature! + +In addition to all these, you also get some key features like: + + * The ability to pin the editor and use it as a widget across the screen to quickly access the Knsip editor. + * Ability to add watermarks. + * Undo/Redo + * Modify Canvas + * Scale/Crop image + * Add numbers/stickers along with other annotations + * Adjust transparency of sniping area + * Imgur/Script uploader + * Hotkey support + + + +For my workflow, Ksnip is probably the [best screenshot tool for Linux][10] and I will be sticking to it for the near future! + +[Ksnip (GitHub)][11] + +_What do you think about my experience with Knsip? Have you tried it as well? What do you think about it?
