I want to take a scrolling screenshot of a page (not a web page, so browser extensions won't work, as in Screenshot Tools to Capture Scrolling Windows) that is too big for a normal screenshot.

In Windows I used to use PicPick and Sharex, but those do not work in Ubuntu. For normal screenshots in Ubuntu I use FlameShot, but it does not have a scrolling screenshot feature.

So what app can I use in Ubuntu to take scrolling screenshots?

to my knowledge to this day there is no the app that could take a scrolling screenshot on Ubuntu except webpages. On the Windows to do this I used Screenpresso that could capture majority of the scrolling screenshots (terminals, mail clients, a code from an IDE, webpages and more).

I've checked 16 alternatives to the Screenpresso on the alternativeto for Linux. I haven't found the app that handles scrolling screenshots on the Linux.

There are plans to introduce the feature in the screenshot tools in Linux, eg. Knisp - feature request

  • Since Screenpresso is for Windows only, you should provide the steps for installing it in Linux, because maybe it's not possible to install it in Ubuntu, not even with Wine. – karel Feb 11 '23 at 18:02

    @karel Thank you for your advice but I'm not familiar with Wine soft. I've just wanted to indicate that there isn't exists a Linux-native app which could handle features such as scrolling screenshot. We could wait or create workarounds like you said. – matt91t Feb 11 '23 at 18:26
