Screenshot Tool with Shareable Link

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.

Capture Options

Capture menus and popups, instantly

Screenshotting an open menu is the classic thing screenshot tools cannot do: the moment the tool's own window appears, the menu you wanted closes. FTPie has optional instant hotkeys - one each for region, window and full screen - that freeze the screen the instant you press the key and go straight to the capture, with no window in between. Whatever was on screen, including menus, tooltips and popups, is still there.

• Instant hotkeys - region, window or full screen, captured without opening the screenshot window first. All three ship unassigned; set the ones you want in Settings → Power Tools → Screenshot
• Capture delay - 3, 5 or 10 seconds before the capture, for menus you have to hold open with the mouse
• The original hotkey that opens the chooser window is unchanged, and the JumpList and tray still work exactly as before

After you capture

Every capture is written to Pictures\FTPie and, unless you turn it off, copied to the clipboard automatically - as both PNG and bitmap, so Chrome, Slack, Word and Figma each paste it properly. What happens next is your choice:

Editing & Sharing

1. Capture screen (whole screen, a custom area, or a single window)
2. Image is copied to the clipboard and opens in FTPie - both configurable
3. Annotate with the redesigned tools - highlights with color selection, plus a pixelization tool to mask sensitive details
4. Choose action:
   • Quick Share - two clicks to a shareable link, hosted on your own storage
   • Upload to... any connected storage you choose - cloud, FTP, SFTP, NAS or WebDAV
   • Copy to clipboard for instant pasting
   • Save locally with file dialog

Key Features

• Capture what you need - Full screen, a custom region, or a single window
• Instant hotkeys - Capture straight from the keyboard, so menus and popups stay open
• On the clipboard automatically - Paste into anything without a second step

• Precise selection - Capture exact screen areas with pixel-perfect accuracy

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.
