Comments about ShareX as a Alternative to Greenshot
It's a fantastic tool for anything related to your screen. Screenshots (with custom editions), screen recording (for gifs or videos), file uploading, OCR, color picker, custom tasks and keybinds to do anything you want with all the available tools... Simply beautiful
2very simple to use, very powerful for those who want it
0AdrienVRYou don't have defaults quick actions like in Greenshot (save, print, edit) right after the screenshot is done. You can customize it but by default screenshot function is set to Ctrl + PrintScreen instead of PrintScreen.
0justahotbagIt's quick screenshot review notification makes it feel "classier" than Greenshot, and it's tray icon, makes me feel pretty.
-1Easy to use, has a pretty friendly interface, and is packed with functionality. Only downside is that I haven't found any OCR functionality... but that's a bit too specific to ask for anyway
