Features
Image capture
Shutter is primarily an image-capture tool. Shutter allows you to capture nearly anything on your screen without losing control over your screenshots, utilizing a tabbed interface. It provides diverse image-capturing functionality to capture common targets, including:
- an arbitrary region of the screen
- a desktop â including support for multi-monitor settings
- an arbitrary window
- a menu or tooltip
- a website â using gnome-web-photo to capture an image without opening a browser window
Image editing
Shutter features a very basic built-in editor, with capabilities that include:
- adding primitive elements, such as text, arrows, rectangles, ellipses, etc.
- censoring / pixelizing portions of the image, e.g. to hide private data
- adding an "auto-increment" shape, for marking incremental numbers onto a sequence of screenshots
- cropping
