Even the simple utility that comes with the GNOME desktop does a pretty good job of capturing screens. But what if you rarely need to take screen captures? Or you use a Linux distribution without a built-in capture tool, or an older computer with limited resources? - -Turn to the command line and a little utility called [Scrot][16]. It does a fine job of taking simple screen captures, and it includes a few features that might surprise you. - -### Getting started with Scrot - -More Linux resources - -* [What is Linux?][1] - -* [What are Linux containers?][2] - -* [Download Now: Linux commands cheat sheet][3] - -* [Advanced Linux commands cheat sheet][4] - -* [Our latest Linux articles][5] - -Many Linux distributions come with Scrot already installed—to check, type `which scrot`. If it isn't there, you can install Scrot using your distro's package manager. If you're willing to compile the code, grab it [from GitHub][22]. - -To take a screen capture, crack open a terminal window and type `scrot [filename]`, where `[filename]` is the name of file to which you want to save the image (for example, `desktop.png`). If you don't include a name for the file, Scrot will create one for you, such as `2017-09-24-185009_1687x938_scrot.png`. (That filename isn't as descriptive it could be, is it? That's why it's better to add one to the command.) - -Running Scrot with no options takes a screen capture of your entire desktop. If you don't want to do that, Scrot lets you focus on smaller portions of your screen. - -### Taking a screen capture of a single window - -Tell Scrot to take a screen capture of a single window by typing `scrot -u [filename]`. - -The `-u` option tells Scrot to grab the window currently in focus. That's usually the terminal window you're working in, which might not be the one you want. - -To grab another window on your desktop, type `scrot -s [filename]`. - -The `-s` option lets you do one of two things: - -* select an open window, or - -* draw a rectangle around a window or a portion of a window to capture it. - -You can also set a delay, which gives you a little more time to select the window you want to capture. To do that, type `scrot -u -d [num] [filename]`. - -The `-d` option tells Scrot to wait before grabbing the window, and `[num]` is the number of seconds to wait. Specifying `-d 5` (wait five seconds) should give you enough time to choose a window. - -### More useful options - -Scrot offers a number of additional features (most of which I never use). The ones I find most useful include: - -* `-b` also grabs the window's border - -* `-t` grabs a window and creates a thumbnail of it. This can be useful when you're posting screen captures online. - -* `-c` creates a countdown in your terminal when you use the `-d` option. - -To learn about Scrot's other options, check out the its documentation by typing `man scrot` in a terminal window, or [read it online][17]. Then start snapping images of your screen. - -It's basic, but Scrot gets the job done nicely. - -### Topics - - [Linux][23] - -### About the author - - [![That idiot Scott Nesbitt ...](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/styles/profile_pictures/public/scottn-cropped.jpg?itok=q4T2J4Ai)][18] - - Scott Nesbitt - I'm a long-time user of free/open source software, and write various things for both fun and profit.
