We understand that not everyone will be happy with every ShareX update, and constructive criticism is always welcome.
But wishing cancer or death upon developers over a free, open-source application?
We're just people trying to make something useful for everyone. Nobody deserves this.

We've implemented AI powered OCR (Optical Character Recognition) in ShareX, replacing the Windows OCR engine we previously used.
The new OCR engine supports over 100 languages out of the box, without requiring separate language pack downloads or manually switching between languages. Just like before, everything runs locally on your device, ensuring your privacy.
It also delivers significantly more accurate results compared to Windows OCR.
Additionally, we've introduced a new "Separate paragraphs" option that automatically detects paragraphs and preserves their structure in the extracted text.
Feel free to try it out in the latest ShareX development build and let us know what you think! We'd love to hear your feedback.
Which annotation toolbar do you prefer?
@CubityFirst designed new toolbar icons and updated the overall style, and we're trying to decide whether the new version is better than the previous one.
One thing we're particularly unsure about is the use of the accent color on the icons. Do you think it looks better with or without it?
Introducing the new Stats screen in ShareX!
Statistics are generated from your locally stored history file. You can also share your entire stats overview as an image by clicking the "Share" button in the top right corner.
This feature was implemented by @CubityFirst.
ShareX 22.0.0 is now available as a pre-release.
In ShareX's 19 year history, this is the biggest update we've ever released. Every part of the UI has been rewritten from scratch with a modern design. Since the majority of the application has also been completely overhauled, we expect this release to be significantly less stable than our usual releases. We'll be closely monitoring issue reports and addressing them as quickly as possible.
