Greenshot


I’ve tried a lot of screenshot utilities over many years, but Greenshot remains my favorite due to its efficiently. Greenshot isn’t so much a “screenshot in one keystroke” type of tool that both Puush and ShareX strive to be. Instead, it pushes the whole concept to the next level by implementing lots of advanced features at the cost of simplicity and quickness. That’s not a bad thing by any means – it just serves a different purpose and it does it well.
– Get Greenshot


Why use Greenshot

  • Lots of screen capture modes – more than Puush and ShareX.
  • Choose which format you want for your screenshots.
  • Screenshots can be uploaded to an image host, saved to your computer, or exported for use elsewhere.
  • Built-in image editor to edit screenshots you’ve taken.
  • Open source under the GPL license.


Bottom Line: I want to say that Greenshot is the best choice for users who aren’t computer wizards. It has an intuitive interface, lots of features, extendable through plugins, and a built-in image editor for quick touch-ups – nearly an all-in-one package.





PUUSH


I’ve tried a lot of screenshot utilities over the years, but Puush remains my favorite due to its low resource usage (~600KB RAM) and fast performance. Like most screenshot tools, it sits in the background of your computer and only responds when you press a relevant keyboard shortcut. It’s simple yet full-featured, which is a wonderful combination.
–  Get Puush


Why use Puush

  • Capture, Upload, and Share with one keystroke.
  • Captures entire screen, certain regions, or entire windows.
  • Images are stored on Puush servers and image links are automatically copied to the clipboard when a screenshot is taken.


You’ll need a free Puush account before you can use it but it’s a hassle-free signup. Free accounts can storage unlimited images, capped at 20MB per image, and images will expire after 1 month of not being accessed. Pro accounts ($15/year) have an image size cap of 250MB and won’t expire until 6 months of not being accessed.


Bottom Line: Puush is fantastic if you want to take a quick capture of your screen and share it with someone right away.





ShareX


ShareX is similar to Puush above in terms of how it operates and what it can do, but there are a few subtle but substantial differences. Like Puush, ShareX can snap screenshots with a single keystroke. It can upload images to an image host and make it easy to share with friends. The interface is a bit harder to learn than Puush’s simplicity, but there are a few more features here that you might like.
– Get ShareX


Why use ShareX

  • No account creation necessary.
  • Captures entire screen, certain regions, or entire windows.
  • Dashboard center that lets you handle all ShareX activities in a single window.
  • Automated Capture option that lets you take screenshots on a time interval.
  • Choose which image host where you want your images uploaded.


Bottom Line: ShareX is the preferred tool if you like to use different image hosts instead of relying on one single host like Puush. ShareX is also good if you’ll frequently be using its more advanced features.
