Kazam como alternativa Linux a ShareX
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
Kazam can replace ShareX for basic screenshot and screen‑recording tasks, but it falls short for power users who rely on extensive post‑capture editing, automated uploads and workflow scripting. If you only need quick full‑screen or region captures and simple video recordings, Kazam works fine on Debian‑based systems. Users who need GIF creation, hotkey‑driven workflows, or integration with multiple cloud services will find Kazam lacking and should look at more feature‑rich alternatives.

Abrir tus archivos de ShareX
Kazam stores screenshots as standard image files (PNG) and recordings as WebM or MP4, which can be opened by any common viewer. ShareX can export to a variety of formats and may embed metadata for its own workflow; there is no direct import of ShareX project files into Kazam, so you would need to treat existing files as regular media.
Pasar de ShareX a Kazam, paso a paso
- Install Kazam via apt (sudo apt install kazam).
- Familiarize yourself with the capture shortcuts in Kazam's preferences.
- Configure audio sources if you need microphone input.
- Test a region screenshot and a short video recording to verify output formats.
- Set up any external upload scripts manually if you still need automated sharing.

Cómo instalar Kazam en Linux
sudo apt install kazamsudo apt install kazamPreguntas frecuentes
Can Kazam record GIFs directly?
No, Kazam only outputs video files; you would need a separate tool like ffmpeg to convert a recording to GIF.
Does Kazam support hotkeys for instant capture?
Kazam provides limited hotkey support through its UI; it does not offer the extensive global hotkey system that ShareX has.
Is Kazam still actively maintained?
The project is marked as discontinued, so you may encounter bugs that are not fixed; consider alternatives if you need long‑term support.
