#FlamesHot

**Qt-based screenshot tool Flameshot has put out its first major update in nearly 3 years, finishing a Qt6 port and adding a number of major improvements in the process.** For those unfamiliar with it, Flameshot is a powerful yet easy to use screenshot app. It offers an on-screen interactive GUI with annotation and markup tools (pen, arrows, text, etc), and bags of options. It works on most Linux distributions and desktop environments. The last major release was Flameshot 12.x, which debuted in July 2022. For more on the latest release, read on. ## Flameshot 13.0: What’s New? Privacy safeguards receive particular attention in Flameshot 13.0. The Imgur uploader is now disabled. Flameshot’s developers cite several reasons for doing this, not least the risk for users to accidentally upload sensitive data. They say it “feels very risky” for a screenshot tool to enable this feature by default for all. The redaction tool also benefits from privacy-minded changes. The tool was updated to use a “secure” pixelation method, using pixels outside of the area to be redacted. Beyond the privacy improvements, this update adds JPEG quality control, a new date format (`%d-%m-%Y`) can be used in filenames of saved screenshots, and allows the “Screenshot Aborted” desktop notification shown when cancelling a screenshot to be disabled. Flameshot 13.0 adds new features and usability improvements: * Screenshot dimensions are shown in the capture area * Pinned images support rotation and transparency effects * Set different default sizes for text, circle counter, marker and other tools * Arrows can be drawn in a reversed way (tip to tail) * Optional grid overlay for annotation snapping * Symmetrical resizing while holding `Shift` key * Aspect ratio preservation while holding `Ctrl` key * New keyboard shortcut `Ctrl` + `Backspace` to cancel selections * New “Open Save Path” action in the tray menu Wayland users will notice correctly scaled screenshot previews if fractional scaling is active, and the utility now works with more Wayland compositors, including COSMIC desktop and wlroots tiling window managers like _Hyprland_ , where screengrabs work using `grim`. Of course, Flameshot works on Windows and macOS, as well as Linux. For those on Windows, Flameshot 13.0 adds dark mode support, WebP saving, and command-line interactivity. On macOS, the tool provides native Apple Silicon builds (no more Rosetta), JPEG clipboard sharing, and pinned image scrolling. ## How to Install Flameshot 13.0 Flameshot is free, open source software. You can download official installers for Windows, macOS and Linux (including DEB packages for Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04) from the Flameshot Releases page on GitHub. The Flameshot’s Flathub listing is now verified, meaning it’s officially official, and will show in the _Software Manager_ app on Linux Mint (the distro hides unverified Flathub listings by default). While version 13.0 is not there yet, it is coming. Alas, the Snap package may be retired .
