ShareX for you Windows folks. It's great. https://getsharex.com/


You can also configure sharex to run tesseract ocr locally on the images, making them searchable while keeping everything sound in terms of privacy. There is also a hack to compress pngs so that the file size becomes next to nothing


If you're on Windows 10 or later, there's also Win + G which will bring up the Xbox Game Bar. There you can capture screenshots and video or set up custom key shortcuts to start recording, etc.


Windows 10 and up also has Win-Shift-S, which brings up a screenshot UI similar to that found on macOS with the Command-Shift-5 shortcut.


Was going to post this. It is amazing.

But I think it will upload to imgur, be sure to configure it off. I have it sent to have in a local folder.

It also has great .gif making support and can also screen record to a .mp4


ShareX looks great, I will check it out.

In Windows 10, you can also press Win+PrintScreen to save a numbered screen shot to your Pictures\Screenshots folder.


This seems like just what I need. Does anyone have recommendations for something similar for MacOS?
