Screenshot Tool with Shareable Link

Capture a region, get an instant shareable link - hosted on your own cloud storage, not a third-party screenshot service.

Capture a screen region, mark it up, and get a shareable link in one motion - with one crucial difference from the usual screenshot tools: the link lives on your own storage. Where ShareX, Gyazo and the rest host your captures on their servers behind a subscription, FTPie uploads to a cloud account you control and returns the link from there. Your captures, your account, no third-party custody - see FTPie vs ShareX.

Your link, your storage

Hosted screenshot services keep your captures on their servers: convenient until the free tier fills up, the link expires, or you stop paying and the images vanish. FTPie flips that around. The shareable link is produced by Quick Share on a cloud account you own - so you control the file, can delete it any time, and there is no third party holding your screenshots hostage. Prefer to send it as an attachment instead of a link? Use Share via Email.

Usage Scenarios

Perfect for quickly documenting issues, creating tutorials, or sharing visual feedback. The screenshot tool integrates seamlessly with your existing FTPie workflow while providing specialized annotation capabilities. Need video instead of a still image? See Screen Recording. Combine with Notes to document your captures with rich text, or weigh it up against ShareX and Gyazo.
