- Discontinued The project seems to be no longer developed. Last version, 2.7 r316, released in May 2015, can be still downloaded from SourceForge.
- Warning As described on VirusTotal comment (https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/1ddb733efb11769a05cc735d555e9a4df92c4cdf29fa47ea3864e57e67dcf884/analysis/1411383540/): if you download CamStudio from SourceForge.net, the VirusTotal results are 0/53. After installing this SF version, it immediately says that there is an update available. When the link is clicked, it takes you to camstudio.org, which has a zip file that, scanned with VirusTotal, gives you 15/53 result. So do NOT download and install the "update": it's a malware. Installer as of 09/22/2014.

ShareX Comments

Comment by kholdstayr

about ShareX · Jul 2017 · Helpful Not helpful 1 Helpful

I used to use Skitch for quick image annotating, but after Skitch was discontinued I found this as an alternative. The main thing I want for an image annotator is easy to use arrows and text with outlines. Programs such as Greenshot are good, but don't have text with outlines. This program does have it and that is why I like it.

Monster

about ShareX · Dec 2016 · Helpful Not helpful 1 Helpful

Confusing user experience. It's like frankenstein's monster. SareX can everything, but you should spend a lot of time to understand how it works. Useful for complex professional tasks only, not for a common user.
But the point is that the Greenshot inside ShareX looks better (cleaner) than standalone one.

Cannot capture many games in fullscreen mode

Comment by sirgregoryk

about ShareX and Greenshot · Jun 2017 · Helpful Not helpful

ShareX (and also Greenshot) cannot capture fullscreen directx (maybe also opengl) applications.
If you want to capture these applications, you need to run them in window (or borderless window) mode.

It has a lot of functionality, it's open source, it's relatively fast on my PC, and navigation is fairly straight forward.

No linux version

Comment by blackflaggeek

about ShareX and ScreenCloud · Jun 2014 · Helpful Not helpful

there is no linux version for this application and all other alternatives on linux are not even close to ease of use and feature set. for now my recommendation is screencloud for linux users.

More options is not always better

Comment by wrygiel

about ShareX and Greenshot · Feb 2014 · Helpful Not helpful

ShareX seems to be a port of Greenshot. It has more options than Greenshot. However, Greenshot just feels much more "solid" when it comes to user experience. If Greenshot's options are enough for you, I would recommend Greenshot.

It is also quite true what one of the other commenters had said - the developers of ShareX seem to be very defensive when it comes to bug reports and feature requests.

mcored · May 2014

Hi wrygiel, ShareX is not a port of Greenshot. It used to be called ZScreen back in 2008 - https://code.google.com/p/zscreen - and was renamed to ShareX later after rebuilding from scratch.

Has potential, but...

about ShareX and Greenshot · Nov 2013 · Helpful Not helpful

The developers don't like bug reports or suggestions, it makes them defensive. (Not sure why they bothered making it open source.) And documentation is nil. Think I'll switch to Greenshot.

mcored · May 2014

Hi DiskCrasher, this is not true. Good bug reports and suggestions are welcome. You will see that they are being actively responded to:
