Where Does Flameshot Store Settings?
Flameshot keeps flameshot.ini in ~/.config, with captures going to Pictures or the clipboard per settings.
Last updated
Flameshot stores its configuration in a single INI file under the XDG config home. Save paths, button layout and upload history settings all live there.
Captures never touch that folder. They go to Pictures or the clipboard as configured, so settings backup and screenshot backup are separate jobs.
Where Flameshot stores this, by platform
~/.config/flameshot/flameshot.ini
All preferences including save path and button order. Copy the file to migrate setups. Wayland quirks are environment issues, never config corruption.

To the path in flameshot.ini, defaulting to ~/Pictures. The config file sets it, so check there when captures land somewhere unexpected.

Delete flameshot.ini with Flameshot closed. Defaults regenerate on next launch without touching any saved screenshots.
