EnglishWhere to Download ShareX, Get Its Source Code, and Track Updates
Updated
ShareX is available from its official site at getsharex.com, which lists the download options, changelog, source code, and support links in one place. If you want the standard Windows installer, a portable build, or a development build, the Downloads page is the starting point; if you want to read or build the code yourself, the Source link leads to the repository. The site also points to Microsoft Store and Steam listings for users who prefer those distribution channels.
Download options
The official site presents several ways to get ShareX, each suited to a different situation:
| Option | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Download (Setup) | Most Windows users | Standard installer |
| Portable | Running without installation | Useful on locked-down or shared machines |
| Dev build | Testing unreleased changes | Less stable than release builds |
| Microsoft Store | Users who prefer store-managed installs and updates | Listed on the site |
| Steam | Users who already manage software through Steam | Listed on the site |
The site also links to the Changelog, so you can check what changed in a given release before updating.
Source code and related projects
ShareX is free and open source, and the site links directly to its source. It also points to "ShareX related projects on GitHub," which is useful if you want to see companion tools or libraries built around the same ecosystem. Because the project describes itself as having over 18 years of active development, the repository is the authoritative place to inspect code, report issues, or follow development activity.
Updates, screenshots, and brand assets
- Changelog — the site's Changelog page documents release-by-release changes, which is the most direct way to confirm whether a fix or feature has shipped.
- Screenshots — a Screenshots section shows the application in use, including the region capture and image editor interfaces, so you can see the UI before installing.
- Brand assets — official logos and similar materials are provided for anyone referencing or writing about ShareX.
- Donate — the site offers a Donate link for supporting the project financially.
What you get once installed
The download gives you a Windows screen capture, file sharing, and productivity tool in a single lightweight application. The site lists these characteristics: completely free, open source, no advertisements, lightweight, privacy first, and built for power users. Capture methods include fullscreen, active window, active monitor, window menu, monitor menu, region, region (light), region (transparent), last region, custom region, screen recording, screen recording (GIF), scrolling capture, and auto capture. After-capture tasks include copying to clipboard, pinning to screen, saving to file, uploading to a host, OCR, QR code scanning, and opening the image editor.
ShareX supports a wide range of interface languages, including English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, and others — useful if you need the UI in a language other than English.
Practical notes
- The site does not publish pricing signals, so treat the "completely free" description as the project's own statement rather than an inference about every distribution channel; store listings can have their own terms.
- If you need a specific older or newer build, check the Changelog and the Dev build link rather than assuming the main Download button matches your target version.
- For upload destinations, the site references guides for Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Cloudflare R2, plus custom uploader support — relevant if sharing captured files to your own storage is part of your workflow.
