About Flameshot

Flameshot is a free and open-source, cross-platform screenshot tool released under the GPL-3.0 and developed by its community on GitHub. You drag a selection, annotate right on the screen and save or copy the result, all from a simple, straightforward interface.

Built-in tools include arrows, text highlighting, blur or pixelate, text, freehand drawing, rectangular and circular borders, incrementing counters and solid color boxes. The interface color, buttons, shortcuts and save behaviour are configurable, and a command-line interface lets you script captures. The Windows build is 64-bit only and comes as an installer or a portable version.

How to install

“Windows protected your PC”

SmartScreen shows this for apps without a paid signature. Click “More info”, then “Run anyway”.

Antivirus blocks it

Open-source apps are often flagged because they aren’t commercially signed. Check the SHA256 first, then allow it in your antivirus.

Won’t start, or a DLL is missing

Usually a missing runtime. Install Microsoft’s Visual C++ Redistributable (x64) and the .NET Desktop Runtime, then try again.

Check the file

Run this in Command Prompt and compare the result with the SHA256 listed for the cloud file:

Release notes

# Flameshot v14.0 Release Notes This release brings major improvements to multi-monitor support, fractional scaling support, new capture workflows, and a long list of bug fixes across all platforms. --- ## New Features ### Unified Approach to Multi-Monitor / Scaling The largest change in this version is when a screenshot is taken, the user will be prompted to select which monitor to capture. Previously on Linux and Windows the capture widget was drawn across all monitors. This presents significant challenges as we diversify the DE's that are supported in linux and mixed scaling becomes more common. After a lot of testing and iteration I decided the best path forward is this solution. I understand this is a change in workflow, and some may find it cumbersome. However, this will be the path forward for the time being. Please read the following sections as well if you are on X11 or Windows. Additionally, on Linux the primary way to take a screenshot is using the xdg-desktop-portal calls. This is the only way to screenshot on Wayland, and many X11 DE's also support this. I reccomend looking at this [Arch Wiki page](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Desktop_Portal) to see if your DE supports it. If not there is a "deprecated" option that can be enabled that will fall back to the legacy method for capturing. (See below) ### Legacy X11 Screenshot Fallback For users on minimal window managers (i3, xmonad, etc.) without `xdg-desktop-portal`, there is now a **Settings → Gen…
