Scrot como alternativa Linux ao Greenshot

Atualizado em

Nossa avaliação

Scrot can replace Greenshot for users who are comfortable with the command line and only need basic screenshot capture. It covers full‑screen, window, and region captures with a delay timer, and outputs PNG or JPEG. However, it lacks Greenshot’s graphical editor, annotation tools, and easy sharing options. If you prefer a GUI, a lightweight editor like GIMP or Shutter is needed. For power users who script screenshots or integrate them into workflows, Scrot is a solid choice.

Abrindo seus arquivos do Greenshot

Greenshot saves screenshots as PNG or JPEG files, which Scrot can produce directly. Greenshot does not use a proprietary file format, so there is no special conversion needed. Scrot cannot open Greenshot’s project files or edit previously taken screenshots; you would need a separate image editor for that.

Trocando o Greenshot pelo Scrot, passo a passo

  1. 1. Install Scrot via your distro’s package manager (e.g., apt install scrot).
  2. 2. Set up a keyboard shortcut that runs scrot -s for region capture or scrot -d 2 for a 2‑second delay.
  3. 3. Use a script or alias to rename files or move them to a desired folder.
  4. 4. If you need annotation, pipe the image to an editor like GIMP or use a tool such as Shutter after capture.
  5. 5. For sharing, add a command to upload the file to your preferred service (e.g., scp, rsync, or a cloud CLI).
