7 Gyazo Alternatives for Screenshots

ShareX is the best free alternative to Gyazo for Windows power users, because it covers capture, annotation, and upload in one free and open-source tool. You can capture a region, a window, a full screen, or a scrolling page, then annotate it, add effects, and upload it to a host of your choice, with a link copied to the clipboard. That workflow is fast once you learn it, and it replaces Gyazo, a separate annotation tool, and a separate uploader with one product.

• ShareX also records screen video and GIFs, which suits users who need to show a bug or a workflow, not only a still image.
• ShareX costs $0, with no subscription plan and no trial, because the whole product is free.
• There is no pricing page, because there is nothing to buy, and the homepage states that the tool is free.
• The main limit is platform: ShareX is Windows only, so Mac and Linux users need another option from this list.

Snagit is the best alternative to Gyazo for tutorials, documentation, and support screenshots, because it combines capture, annotation, and video in a polished editor. You can capture a region or window, add arrows, callouts, steps, and blur, then save a template and reuse it for the next screenshot, which keeps docs consistent. Snagit also records screen video with audio, which suits a support team that needs to show a fix, not only describe it.

• The editor is easier to learn than ShareX, and the output looks clean enough for customer-facing docs without extra design work.
• Pricing starts at $39 per year for an Individual licence, with Business at $48 per user per year.
• There is no free plan, but a 14-day free trial is available.
• Snagit has been subscription only since Snagit 2025, with no perpetual licence for new buyers, so a buyer should budget for a yearly renewal.

The editor is light, with basic annotation and a search for similar images, and there is nothing to configure before you start.

• That speed is the main reason Lightshot has stayed popular, and it is the closest match to Gyazo for quick sharing.
