Screenpresso vs ShareX

Screenpresso captures screenshots and screen video, then provides tools to annotate captures and share instructions. It can capture a full screen, a region, or a window, and combine scrolling windows into one image. Video recording saves as MP4 and supports sound, webcam, automatic subtitles, and editing features. The built-in image editor includes cropping, effects, numbered steps, annotations, and AI image modification. Images and comments can be assembled into PDF, DOCX, or HTML documents. Other listed export formats include PNG, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, WebP, JPEG XL, and WMV. Sharing destinations include Screenpresso Cloud, email clients, Google Drive, YouTube, OneDrive, OneNote, Dropbox, Linear, Imgur, Cloudinary, SFTP, and Amazon S3. The free plan includes image capture and HD video capture with branding; PRO adds OCR, the full editor, document generation, multiple workspaces, sharing features, and priority support. The listed desktop platform is Windows, with a browser extension also available. The download page lists Windows 11 and says macOS, iOS, and Android are not supported.

ShareX is a free, open-source screenshot and screen-recording tool for Windows. It captures the full screen, a selected region, the active window, a scrolling page, or a monitor, and can record video and GIFs. Its image editor provides annotation and redaction tools, while OCR recognizes text in images. After a capture, ShareX can copy, open, shorten, or share links, and supports many upload destinations as well as custom uploaders. It also lists browser extension support and supports many languages, including English, Hindi, and Spanish. ShareX requires no account and has no advertisements. The ShareX Team maintains the software, which has had more than 18 years of active development and over 33 million downloads worldwide. The maker describes its approach as privacy first. The website provides documentation guides and links to related GitHub projects. ShareX is available for Windows.
