Where Is the Flameshot Config File?

Flameshot flameshot.ini config file on Linux and Windows for capture and save prefs.

Last updated

Flameshot reads a single flameshot.ini from the OS config location. Save paths, shortcuts and UI toggles share the file.

In-app config writes the same file. Hand edits suit scripted setups; the GUI suits everyone else.

Where Flameshot stores this, by platform

Linux
~/.config/flameshot/flameshot.ini

Holds flameshot.ini. Close Flameshot (tray exit) before hand-editing. Same filename on all platforms.

Windows
%APPDATA%\flameshot\flameshot.ini

Same role. Confirm the live path in the configuration window when customized.

Frequently asked questions

How do I change Flameshot settings?

Edit flameshot.ini with Flameshot closed, or use the in-app configuration window. Save path, hotkeys and interface options live there.
