About ShareX
ShareX captures any area of the screen with one key press, records video or GIFs, and puts the result through a workflow you define: annotate it, save it, copy it, upload it and put the link on the clipboard, all without touching a dialog.
It also carries a pile of small tools that would otherwise be separate downloads, including OCR text extraction, a QR scanner, a colour picker, an image editor and custom uploader support for your own server or service.
Strengths
- Screen capture, screen recording, GIF recording and an annotation editor in one application
- Automated workflows: capture, edit, save, copy and upload chained to a single hotkey
- Custom uploader support, so links can point at your own server instead of a third party
- Extras that usually need separate tools: OCR, QR codes, colour picker, image effects
Limitations
- Windows only
- The sheer number of options makes the settings window intimidating at first
- Uploading to third party hosts is only as private as the host you choose
