  • ShareX

    ShareX is a free and open source program that lets you capture or record any area of your screen and share it with a single press of a key. It also allows uploading images, text or other types of files to many supported destinations you can choose from.

    Good thing ShareX [0] exists, and I haven't pressed PrintScreen in years thanks to this amazing tool.

    Powerful yet simple to use screenshot software :desktop_computer: :camera_flash:

    I feel like it's actually a rare great idea out of Microsoft.

    Too bad the Shipping Too sucks eggs compared to FlameShot (now available on Windows!): https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot#preview ;)
