ShareX

Windows

Capture, annotate, and make your point.

ShareX combines screenshot capture, annotation, recording, and configurable after-capture actions on Windows. It is a strong starting point when a basic screenshot shortcut leaves you repeating the same editing and saving steps.

Who it is for

People documenting bugs, explaining workflows, or making annotated screenshots.

What stands out

  • Capture a region, window, or full screen.
  • Annotate images before saving or sharing them.
  • Configure after-capture actions for repeated workflows.

Before you install

  • The number of settings can take time to learn. Start with one capture workflow.
  • Review upload destinations and after-capture tasks before capturing private information.
