Workflow

Built for the screenshot loop.

Snapix stays screenshot-first: capture, crop, annotate, beautify, export. It avoids turning into a slide editor or freeform canvas.

Capture

Use the GUI capture flow or the CLI for fullscreen, region, and active-window screenshots. Wayland goes through the XDG portal; X11 uses native capture paths.

Annotate

Mark exactly what matters with arrows, lines, shapes, text, blur, crop, selection, editing, delete, and undo/redo support.

Beautify

Turn raw screenshots into polished output with gradient or solid backgrounds, screenshot blur, padding, rounded corners, shadows, presets, and image reframe controls.

Export

Copy directly to the clipboard, Quick Save to the screenshots folder, or export PNG and JPEG with the selected visual style.

Polished output

Screenshots that are ready for docs, issues, and demos.

The beautify pipeline handles background, frame, radius, shadow, image fit, image fill, reframe, and export parity so the result you preview is the result you ship.

Signature backgrounds

More than a plain gradient.

Snapix includes Clean, Signature, and Image background families, with intensity controls, custom image backgrounds, cached texture rendering, and per-style shadow tuning.

Linux native

GTK4, Wayland, X11, Flatpak.

Wayland-first

Built around XDG portal capture and GTK/GDK clipboard behavior for modern Linux desktops.

X11 supported

Native X11 capture covers fullscreen, explicit region bounds, and active-window capture.

Flatpak path ready

Flatpak bundles build locally and release automation exists for tester installs while Flathub submission is finalized.

Install

Build from source today.

Tagged releases can ship Flatpak/AppImage artifacts for testers. Until Flathub lands, the source build is the direct path.
