screen capture/snapshot utility with image optimization support/configurability

1. flameshot

   1 234 27,099 8.9 C++

   Powerful yet simple to use screenshot software :desktop_computer: :camera_flash:

   

   just tried it (https://flameshot.org/ ) - looks like a cool tool. It is FOSS and seems to do a great job at providing some extra screenshot functionality with an easy to use UI

3. pngquant

   2 5 5,401 3.5 C

   Lossy PNG compressor — pngquant command based on libimagequant library

   

   But this did prompt me to do some searching, and I see https://pngquant.org/ which seems to achieve jpeg like size reduction while maintaining the file as a png. One difference they note is that this method will typically preserve sharp edges better than jpeg (which is probably a strong plus for my type of use case)

4. oxipng

   3 15 3,335 8.6 Rust

   Multithreaded PNG optimizer written in Rust

   

   I have had good experiences with https://github.com/shssoichiro/oxipng . Although, I suspect this wouldn't give you nearly enough space savings as jpg.
