Capture, annotate, and share screen content instantly
ShareX lets you capture screenshots, record video, annotate, and upload files to dozens of services with a single keystroke, boosting productivity for developers, designers, and power users.
ShareX is a Windows‑only utility that lets users capture any part of their screen—static images, scrolling regions, or video—with a single keystroke. The built‑in editor provides annotation tools, effects, and OCR, turning raw captures into share‑ready assets instantly.
Captured content can be automatically uploaded to more than 80 cloud services, FTP servers, or custom endpoints. URLs are copied to the clipboard, and advanced users can script actions, define custom uploaders, or integrate with third‑party tools via command‑line arguments. A portable version is available for use without installation, making it suitable for restricted environments.
The tool is aimed at developers, designers, IT support staff, and power users who need fast, repeatable screen‑capture workflows and granular control over where files are stored. Its extensive configuration options and free GPL‑3.0 license make it a cost‑effective alternative to commercial screen‑capture suites.
When teams consider ShareX, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Bug reporting with annotated screenshots

Creating GIF tutorials
Record a short screen region as a GIF, apply effects, and share instantly on forums or documentation sites.
Automated log file sharing
Configure a custom uploader to send log files to a private S3 bucket with a keystroke, ensuring consistent diagnostics.
Live streaming overlays
Capture screen regions in real time, apply OCR to extract text, and feed into streaming software for dynamic overlays.
