like the best screenshoter I ever used. I used to run Lightshot but this seems to be more simple and open source.

I literally had to enable Steam integration so I had enough "time played" to leave this review, thats how much I love this product. Honestly buying the donation was less of a hassle but I'm really irritated with all the "I couldn't figure out how to record!" bad reviews I needed to balance them out, plus it's a good product. Really short ACTUAL review, ShareX is a fantastic, highly customizable screenshotting tool that also allows you to record short clips like gifs or webms, and is entirely free with tons of options for uploading them. It even lets you upload to puush if for some reason you're obsessed with hosting images/files there! Use this software it's very good and has no negatives I can even think of.
