Flameshot A Simple, Yet Powerful Feature-rich Screenshot Tool
======
![](https://www.ostechnix.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Flameshot-720x340.png)
Capturing screenshots is part of my job. I have been using Deepin-screenshot tool for taking screenshots. Its a simple, light-weight and quite neat screenshot tool. It comes with all options such as mart window identification, shortcuts supporting, image editing, delay screenshot, social sharing, smart saving, and image resolution adjusting etc. Today, I stumbled upon yet another screenshot tool that ships with many features. Say hello to **Flameshot** , a simple and powerful, feature-rich screenshot tool for Unix-like operating systems. It is easy to use, customizable and has an option to upload your screenshots to **imgur** , an online image sharing website. And also, Flameshot has a CLI version, so you can take screenshots from commandline as well. Flameshot is completely free and open source tool. In this guide, we will see how to install Flameshot and how to take screenshots using it.
### Install Flameshot
**On Arch Linux:**
Flameshot is available [community] repository in Arch Linux. Make sure you have enabled community repository and install Flameshot using pacman as shown below.
```
$ sudo pacman -S flameshot
```
It is also available in [**AUR**][1], so you can install it using any AUR helper programs, for example [**Yay**][2], in Arch-based systems.
