Features

Screenshots

ShareX can be used to capture full screen or partial screenshots, such as rectangle capture and window capture, as well as being able to record video using FFmpeg. Captured screenshots can be annotated and edited using the built-in ShareX image editor or modified using image effects and watermarks. While making a screenshot you can also blur/ pixelate things as well as draw and highlight things on the screen before making the screenshot.

Sharing

After capture, a screenshot can be autonomously exported as an image file, email attachment, exported to a printer, to the clipboard, or uploaded to a remote host such as many popular image hosting services or via FTP. If the image is uploaded to a remote host, the URL generated by it can be copied to the clipboard.

Development

Work on a project called ZScreen began in 2007, hosted on SourceForge[1] and moved to Google Code in 2008.[6] In 2010, a parallel project called ZUploader was started to rewrite ZScreen's core from scratch.[7] In 2012, all of ZScreen's features had been ported to ZUploader which was subsequently repackaged and released as ShareX.[8] In 2013, the project was moved to GitHub due to Google Code dropping support for hosting downloads.[9]
