SunShot is an early beta. Downloads are unsigned, so Windows may show a publisher warning.
- Capture regions, windows, full screens and scrolling pages.
- Record video or GIFs. FFmpeg downloads the first time you need it.
- Edit with arrows, text, shapes, blur and more.
- Keep your workflow with hotkeys, capture history and task settings.
- Choose your look with light and dark themes, in English or French.
New profiles save captures locally. Uploading and automatic update checks are off until you turn them on. See the privacy notes.
- Close ShareX.
- In SunShot, choose Import ShareX settings.
- Select your ShareX profile folder, usually
Documents\ShareX. - Read the report, then import. SunShot backs up its profile and restarts.
Works with ShareX 21.0 and 22.0 to 22.4. You can import your capture history and keep saving to your ShareX screenshot folder. Hotkeys, uploads and watch folders start off so you can review them first.
See the migration guide for what carries over.
