ShareX Screen Capture Tool

ShareX is a free and open-source screen capture, screen recording, and file sharing tool for Windows. Created in 2007 by Jaex (also known as Abdulhamit), ShareX has evolved from a simple screenshot tool into one of the most feature-rich screen capture applications available, with over 25,000 stars on code repositories. The project is community-driven with contributions from dozens of developers. Key features: capture modes: region capture (select an area of the screen), window capture (capture a specific window), full screen capture, monitor capture (multi-monitor support), scrolling capture (capture entire web pages or scrolling windows), auto-capture (timed captures), and text capture (OCR-like using GIF format for transparent text). Screen recording: record screen activity as GIF or video (MP4) using FFmpeg. Region, window, or full screen recording with optional audio capture. Annotation: after capturing, a built-in image editor provides annotation tools including shapes (rectangle, ellipse, arrow, line), text, speech balloon, sticky note, highlight, blur (pixelate), spotlight, image crop, resize, rotate, and canvas adjustments. Image effects: apply effects like shadow, border, rounded corners, watermark, and color adjustments. Clipboard upload: paste an image from the clipboard directly into the tool to process and upload it. File upload: upload files to over 80 destinations including Imgur, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, AWS S3, Azure, custom FTP/SFTP servers, and self-hosted solutions. URL shortening: shorten URLs with services like bit.ly, is.gd, v.gd, tinyurl, or custom providers. Workflow automation: define custom after-capture, after-upload, and after-screenshot workflows with multiple actions chained together. Hotkeys: fully customizable global hotkeys for every action.
