Peek, alternative Linux à Snagit
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
Peek is a solid, lightweight replacement for basic Snagit needs, particularly for users who primarily capture screenshots and short screen clips. It handles region selection, window capture, and basic annotation well. However, it is not a full 1:1 replacement for complex documentation workflows. If you rely on Snagit’s advanced video editing, audio mixing, or cloud sharing, Peek will feel limiting. For simple bug reporting or quick visual notes, Peek is efficient, free, and runs natively on Linux without bloat.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Snagit
Peek does not open or edit Snagit’s native .snag file format. You can export Snagit images as PNG or JPEG on Windows and open them in Peek for further annotation. Conversely, images exported from Peek can be opened in Snagit if you switch back, but the project metadata and specific Snagit annotations will not transfer. Video files recorded in Peek are typically GIFs, which Snagit can import as media, but the workflow is manual.

- Install Peek from your distribution’s package manager
- Configure global keyboard shortcuts in Peek’s settings
