Something i forgot to mention, due to little buffer used by kuio, taking a screenshot can take several seconds so don't worry if it seems to be freezed.

A very useful plugin, thank you, I never liked the JPEG compression of PSVita official screenshot feature.
But maybe it has a little bug, I do not know if it's just a problem of my PSVita and its configuration (It is too evident to think that you may not have noticed it xD) but it seems that the screenshot is "a bit too wide", or better it adds a black piece to the actual screen xD
Here is an example:

P.s.: also unfortunately it does not work in PS4 Remote Play (it would be very usefull to screenshot those games that do not allow the user to take screenshots, such as Persona 5 or Tales of Berseria...)

Probably PS4 Remote Play works like Livearea, it would require to access the shared framebuffer in sceAppMgr.
As for the black band, it's caused by differences between real width and framebuffer pitch (960x544 mode uses a 1024x544 framebuffer). Sadly, there are games that do have centered framebuffer so i can't just remove the black band assuming it's on the right side of the framebuffer.

Regarding the black band issue, i started an analysis to try to check if the issue can be easily solved:

Why not completely replace the in-built screenshot function with this plugin?

Cause it would require reversing screenshots functionality. SceScreenshot doesn't have a callback function or some sort of helpful functionality to do so.
