About Gradia

Gradia is an open source tool for editing screenshots so they display well when shared, especially on social media. The project notes that transparent or oddly sized images often do not display well for others, and Gradia is meant to fix those issues by letting users quickly modify screenshots of application windows. It also offers options to improve the overall appearance of an image.

The project is in a GitHub repository written in Python and uses GTK4 and libadwaita. The README describes build steps through GNOME Builder and a Flatpak build. Unofficial packages exist, but the project states that it does not officially support them.
