Gyazo vs Ksnip

Gyazo captures images and video, then creates links that can be shared. It supports still images, videos, frames, webcam footage, and voice explanations, with scrolling capture and exports in JPG, PNG, GIF, and MP4. OCR recognizes text in captures and makes those words searchable. Passwords, viewer permissions, and hashed URLs provide ways to control access. Gyazo runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and the web, with Chrome, Firefox, and Edge support. The free plan allows unlimited screenshot capture and uploads, and unlimited HD video recording and uploads, but only the 10 latest images are accessible and recordings are limited to 7 seconds. Gyazo Pro costs $6.99 a month on a 12-month monthly plan, or $71.88 a year. Pro supports video recording up to 10 minutes and replay recording up to 30 seconds. Teams has a five-user minimum and includes private team sharing, multi-user management, team billing, a custom subdomain, and optional Google Workspace SSO.

Ksnip is a free GPL-3.0 screenshot tool for Linux, macOS, and Windows. It captures selected rectangles, the last selected rectangle, screens, all screens, or supported focused and cursor-under windows. Annotation tools include pen, marker, shapes, text, stickers, cropping, blur, pixelation, image effects, and watermarks. Screenshots can be uploaded to Imgur, FTP, or custom scripts, and exported as BMP, GIF, JPEG, JPG, PNG, PDF, or PS. Command-line capture can save to a chosen default location, filename, and format. OCR text extraction uses a separately installed Tesseract plugin on Windows and Linux/Unix. Downloads include packages such as RPM, DEB, APT, Snap, Flatpak, and AppImage, alongside Windows and macOS packages. Global hotkeys are documented only for Windows and X11, not Wayland. The project notes other macOS and Wayland limitations and says development capacity is limited.
