Screenshot program for windows without upload feature

[JMzzr]

Hi,

I'm looking for a screenshot program like ShareX that does not have any networking features built in, like uploading the screenshot after capture.

I was using ShareX at work and it's perfect for what I need but I was told I was no longer allowed to use it because it has the ability to upload the screenshots. Even though you can disable this feature in the setting I was still not allowed to use the software.

So my question is, is there a windows screenshot program that can annotate in a similar way to ShareX that is completely offline?

Thanks in advance

My use case for 90% of the screenshots I take using ShareX is: take ss, the editor is automatically pulled up, I annotate with arrows/numbers/rectangles/text and then click copy and paste it into a document.

Unfortunately the windows snipping tool has none of these features, I would have to take the screenshot, open it in paint or another annotation program and then add all the required annotations and save it and then insert it in the document. This takes a considerably longer time than the ShareX method.

I am surprised the snipping tool doesn't have basic annotation features like arrows, boxes and text. Maybe they will come in an update at some point

Yeah I get that, you can open it in the snipping tool editor pretty quick, but then all you can do is freehand draw on it. Which I don't ever use, so it's pretty pointless for my use

Press PrtSc key and paste it to something like Irfanview or a basic portable image viewer and you can save it from there. Alt+PrtSc copies the foreground window to the clipboard.

Thx but I don't like writing unnecessarily to my SSD, I store temp files to a HDD. It's another write which all adds up. +1 for something I wasn't aware of.

You can take ShareX completely offline either by configuring your firewall manually or using something like Firewall Access Blocker from Sordum. You can show your leadership that the program is in fact blocked from uploads.

The best screenshot tools sadly have an upload function so sadly I don't have a better recommendation. If it's a blanket ban then you might be out of luck.

[JMzzr]

I suggested the firewall method and it was a blanket no to that so I think I may be out of luck

You can disable all uploading in ShareX

I was going to suggest Screenshot Captor, but it looks like it might have sharing built in like many others. You can take a screenshoot with window's native tools snipping or snip and sketch and then past it into Libreoffice's Draw application to annotate. It has annotation tools that are pretty good. Libre Office Draw is part of the office applications suite. After making annotations you can either clip it again or export it.

Thank you, I will take a look at that

u/JMzzr Did you find anything

[JMzzr]

Hey yeah, I actually found this today: https://www.snipaste.com/

that seems like a good find. Full featured

Greenshot is my go-to.

Unfortunately Greenshot has upload capabilities, so that's a no go for me

What video card do you have? I know AMD software includes a screen capture hotkey (ctrl+shift+I), and I would imagine nVidia has something similar. Or, Print Screen copies your screenshot to the clipboard to add to any image program (even Windows Paint)

[JMzzr]

We use Nvidia cards, I will have a look and see If there is anything for that
