ShareX is a feature-rich screenshot utility that can grab a selected area with a single key and then edit, save to clipboard, drive and/or instantly upload them to 25+ different hosting services (posts to Imgur by default). ShareX can capture screenshots with variety of shapes including rectangle, rounded rectangle, ellipse, triangle, diamond, polygon and freehand. Supports screenshots with transparency and shadow, as well as those that require scrolling. In addition to images, the program can upload other file types, supporting uploads from the clipboard, a watched folder, as well as drag-and-drop.
Additional tools include a powerful screen audio+video recorder (MP4/WEBM or animated GIF format), color picker, ruler, FTP client, monitor test, file hash checker, QR code generator+reader, image effects and much more.

v11.6.0
@smaragdus fixed portable zip structure now.
v11.3.0
ShareX version 11.3.0 is labelled "Pre-release" (unstable), this is also implied by the download link provided at the official web-site (for version 11.2.1) and by the structure of the archive (ShareX-portable.zip).
v11.3.0
ShareX has been saving me an enormous amount of time lately in generating help documentation. The ability to record a full screen every few seconds, add image borders to captured images, as well as uploading to a variety of different destinations. If you EVER work with Oracle's ridiculous "UPK" program, make sure you have ShareX handy.
v11.1.0
@wkm @freewaretester ShareX can do scrolling capture now.
@freewaretester It can already record sound and can open image in any image editor including Paint but without save image to file you can't give image to Paint because it expects file path.
v10.4.0
smaragdus: updated, thanks.
v10.0.0
The latest version of ShareX is 10.1.0 but this release doesn't have a separate archived portable version- the developer has chosen to include a portable mode installation in the installer.
v10.0.0
freewaretester: The video recording function records sound, you might look to Screenshot Captor for scrolling, and the image editor issue you mention can be configured. Please post in forums if you have difficulty.
v10.0.0
hi there, I am waiting for 3 functions:
1. to record the sound 2. to record a scrolling web/ file esp. MS Word and 3. edit with Paint without having to save the file then use Paint to open.
v10.0.0
ShareX v12.3.0 notable enhancement:
Added APNG encoding support to screen recording
v12.3.0
