About ShareX
ShareX is a free and open-source screenshot tool for Windows, released under the GPLv3, that combines screen capture, screen recording, file sharing and productivity tools in one lightweight application. The project describes it as completely free, ad-free and privacy-first.
It captures full screens, windows, monitors, regions, scrolling pages and timed shots, records video or GIFs, and then runs configurable after-capture tasks such as adding effects, opening the image editor, pinning to screen, OCR, saving or uploading to many destinations. Custom uploaders, workflows and hotkeys suit power users. It runs on Windows 10 and later and is offered as a setup, portable build, Microsoft Store or Steam app.
