ShareX - Snipping tool on steroids!

In my journey of finding ways to improve the looks of my posts I stepped over this software called ShareX, which has a few functions that are really nice to have, the one that I love is the Screen/Window record as a Gif.

The software is easy to use, it easily detects windows/boxes and perfectly fits the selection on to them so you can screenshot/record it.

The interface is pretty futuristic and on point with everything.

With capture you can screenshot a specific window, the fullscreen, one of the monitors, a long scrolling image, record a video/gif or even take the text out of an image with Text capture option.


When you are recording a video/gif, below the selected area that needs to be recorded you'll always have 2 buttons and a timer, you can Abort the recording which will result in no file, or you can stop the recording which will generate your Gif.

Let me show you a few more tools that come with ShareX.

Color picker, this one opens a new window where you can generate any color you want.

Screen color picker, is still a color picker but this allows you to pick a color from you current screen, once you select Screen color picker you can pick the color where you click with your mouse.

You have multiple image editors, a video converter, QR Code generator and many more.

You can download and discover the true Power of this tool from here, and enhance your posts, with gifs from software/games etc.

If I have not posted this in the right community, please let me know where this fits better, so I can fit my future posts right where they need to be.

Finding a good screenshot tool is actually pretty hard, I am not a fan of the browser extension ones but agreed ShareX is awesome, I love that it is desktop and so super customizable. It is definitely part of the base software I install on a new PC and have it on every PC from home to work that I use, perfect for quickly proofing work with clients over whatsapp or telegram desktop.
