 ShareX - Free Screen Capture, Screenshot, File Sharing and Productivity Tool

ShareX is a free and open source screenshot tool, screen recorder, file sharing tool and productivity application for Windows. It is designed for users who need fast screen capture, powerful screenshot editing, automated sharing, custom upload destinations and practical utilities in one lightweight desktop app.

With ShareX, you can capture any area of your screen, record video or GIFs, annotate screenshots, upload files, copy shareable links, extract text with OCR, scan QR codes, pick colors and run custom workflows from hotkeys. ShareX is built for speed and control: capture a screenshot, edit it, save it, copy it, upload it or pass it through your own task chain with minimal manual work.

 Why ShareX?

ShareX combines screen capture, screen recording, image editing, file uploading and automation features that are often split across multiple applications. It is completely free, open source, lightweight, privacy focused and has no advertisements. No account is required to use ShareX.

ShareX is especially useful for developers, designers, support teams, content creators, technical writers, QA testers and power users who frequently create screenshots, record short clips, share files or document workflows. It can be used as a simple screenshot app, but it also supports advanced workflows for users who want precise control over capture methods, after-capture tasks, upload destinations and hotkeys.

 Screenshot and Screen Recording Features

ShareX supports many ways to capture your screen:

 Fullscreen capture
 Active window capture
 Active monitor capture
 Region capture
 Scrolling screenshot capture
 Last region capture
 Custom region capture
 Screen recording
 GIF screen recording
 Auto capture

After capturing a screenshot or recording, ShareX can automatically copy the result to the clipboard, save it to a file, open it in the image editor or photo editor, upload it, print it, show it in Windows Explorer, run an action, scan a QR code or recognize text with OCR. These after-capture tasks make ShareX a flexible screenshot workflow tool instead of only a basic snipping utility.

 Region Capture and Annotation

ShareX region capture includes tools for selecting exactly what you want to capture and marking it before saving, copying or uploading. You can draw rectangles, ellipses, lines, arrows, freehand lines, text, speech balloons and step numbers, insert images, emojis and cursors, clone parts of the screenshot, and add highlights, blur effects, pixelation, magnification and spotlight effects.

These annotation tools help create clear screenshots for bug reports, documentation, tutorials, support replies, pull requests and release notes. Sensitive information can be hidden with blur, pixelate or smart eraser tools before a screenshot is shared.
