How to Take Screenshot in Linux(All distros including Kali)

 

Taking a screenshot on Linux isn't quite a s straightforward as it is on Windows or OS X.       This is because there is no universal screenshot utility installed in Linux. It is up to the distribution to include a screenshot function.   Luckily, most do include at least one program that can take a screenshot, and there are more available if you don't have one installed.   

Using  Gnome Screenshot:

 

The PrtScn key does not work as a shortcut in all Linux distributions, but it works in most GNOME desktop environments such as Ubuntu and Linux Mint. If this section doesn't work, try one of the following methods.

1.
Press .PrtScn to take a full-screen screenshot. The screenshot will show everything in your display. You will be prompted to select where you would like to save the screenshot file.
  • The Print Screen key is located at the top of the keyboard, usually between F12 and ScrLk. It may be labeled "Print Screen", "PrtScn", "PrntScrn", or something else similar.
2.
Press . Shift+PrtScn to select what you capture. You'll be able to click and drag a selection box to determine what is captured in the screenshot. A file with the image you captured will be created in your Pictures folder.


3.
Press .Alt+PrtScn to take a screenshot of a window. This shortcut will create a screenshot of your active window. The file will be created in your Pictures folder.

Open the Screenshot utility. The Gnome Screenshot utility allows you to perform some additional screenshot functions, such as adding a delay. You can find the Screenshot utility in the Accessories folder of your Applications menu.  


Add a delay. If your screenshot is time-dependent, you can use the Screenshot utility to add a delay before the screenshot is captured. This will allow you to make sure the right content is on the screen.

Select your effects. You can choose to include your mouse pointer in the screenshot, as well as whether or not you want to add a border to the screenshot.
