ShareX is a free, open-source screen capture, screen recording and file sharing tool for Windows. The current version is 21.0.0; it is available from getsharex.com, GitHub, the Microsoft Store and Steam.
ShareX goes well beyond the Print Screen key. Capture a region, a window or an entire scrolling page, mark it up, and have it saved, copied or uploaded automatically, all with one shortcut.
What can ShareX do?
- Many capture modes: Full screen, active window, a monitor, a selected region or a scrolling page.
- Screen recording: Record video or animated GIFs of your screen.
- After-capture tasks: Automatically copy, save, pin to screen, print or run text recognition (OCR) on a capture.
- Image editor: Add arrows, shapes, text and blur or pixelate sensitive details before sharing.
- Uploads: Send files to a long list of image hosts and cloud services, or to your own server with a custom uploader.
- Extra tools: Color picker, screen ruler, image combiner, video trimmer and QR code reader.
Setup or portable
- On getsharex.com, pick the Setup file to install ShareX, or the Portable version to run it without installing.
- ShareX is also published on the Microsoft Store and Steam.
- After installation, the icon sits in the notification area; right-click it to configure hotkeys and after-capture actions.
Good to know
ShareX is released under the GPL v3 and does not require an account. Uploading is optional; if you do not want captures to leave your computer, keep the after-capture task set to saving locally.
Pros
- Huge range of capture and recording modes
- Automated after-capture workflows
