# Installing Binaries Binaries can be downloaded from the release page [here](https://github.com/ksnip/ksnip/releases). Currently we provide RPM, DEB and AppImage for Linux, zipped EXE for Windows and APP for MacOS in a DMG package.
# Continuous build We build and provide all supported binaries for every pushed commit, those can be found at the top of the release page. Continuous build artifacts are not fully tested and in most cases they are work in progress so use them with caution.
# AppImage (Linux) In order to use AppImages, make them executable and start using it, no installation required. $ chmod a+x ksnip*.AppImage $ ./ksnip*.AppImage
More information about setting to executable can be found here: https://discourse.appimage.org/t/how-to-make-an-appimage-executable/80.
# RPM (Linux) Just install them via rpm and start using. $ rpm -Uvh ksnip*.rpm $ ksnip
# DEB (Linux) Just install them via dpkg and start using. $ sudo dpkg -i ksnip*.deb $ ksnip
# Snap (Linux) The usual installation for snaps, will install latest version: $ sudo snap install ksnip
The continuous build version is also available as edge, in order to install it you need to provide the edge flag: $ sudo snap install ksnip --edge
# Flatpak (Linux) The usual method for Flatpaks will install the latest version: $ flatpak install flathub org.ksnip.ksnip
# EXE (Windows) The exe file with all required dependencies comes in a zipped package, which just need to be unzipped with your favorite zip tool. Ksnip can then be started by just double clicking ksnip.exe.
# APP (MacOS) The app file comes in a dmg package which needs to be opened and the ksnip.app file needs to be dragged and dropped into the Application folder. After that the application can be started by double clicking ksnip.app
# Dependencies (only required when building from source) ksnip depends on kImageAnnotator and kColoPicker which needs to be installed before building ksnip from source. Install instructions can be found on the github pages.
# Known Issues X11 1. Snipping Area with transparent background doesn't work when Compositor is disabled, freeze background is used in that case.
MacOs 1. Snipping Area with transparent background doesn't work, freeze background is always used. Issue https://github.com/ksnip/ksnip/issues/151 2.

Great work,
It would be great if you detect "double-click" & the "num-pad enter" as a command to take the screenshot.
Also, can you add a magnifier effect to the image editor?
Keep it up

for someone like me that uses Solus 4.2 as my desktop on the repository I can't find ksnip for my presentations which is an essential tool that I work with and the only options I found as snap or flatpak and I hate both for many reasons!
You a life saver for me and I do appreciate for sharing this app, Thank you very much DAMIR
Hey Sonia,
the AppImage should be working too, not only the deb. Is there any error message? Coud you try to start the AppImage with:
QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 ./ksnip-1.6.0-x86_64.AppImage ?
Maybe you're facing the same issue as this user https://github.com/ksnip/ksnip/issues/249
Hi! Is that possible to implement higher "Blur level"? Because it's only 20 max now, see what's happening, if the text is large: https://i.imgur.com/s5WSOGy.png
Hi there,
if you're building from source, you need to build and install those two:
https://github.com/DamirPorobic/kImageAnnotator
https://github.com/DamirPorobic/kColorPicker
Cheers,
Damir
It uses the Qt Fusion Style by default because Fusion is available for all platforms (Winows, MacOS, Linux). If you're not a big fan of Fusion (like me), then you can switch the style under Options -> Settings -> Application -> Application Style.
You should see there all available Qt Styles on your machine.

Hi There, you can open a feature request under https://github.com/DamirPorobic/kImageAnnotator we will take a look at it.
Thank you! However I cannot build 1.5.0. CMake cannot find kImageAnnotator. See github issue: https://github.com/DamirPorobic/ksnip/issues/158

Thanks! I was able to successfully build after that. Now, I see that ksnip does not obey the official Qt theme, is this by design?
It uses the Qt Fusion Style by default because Fusion is available for all platforms (Winows, MacOS, Linux). If you're not a big fan of Fusion (like me), then you can switch the style under Options -> Settings -> Application -> Application Style. You should see there all available Qt Styles on your machine.
Got it and changed it. Thank you!
