Download summary

ShareX is a utility for Windows, published by ShareX Team. A direct package URL is recorded below. The host may be the publisher, a release repository, a CDN, or another distribution source documented by the publisher. Some packages still fetch optional components during setup. The recorded publisher site is getsharex.com. We do not host or modify installer files.

Publisher documentation

These references support the package and behavior notes. Documentation checks are separate from the recorded URL-check date and do not represent an installation test.

Choose a package

Distinguish application flags from setup flags

ShareX’s application -silent option starts it in the tray. The setup program’s /SILENT and /VERYSILENT options instead affect its wizard; /NORUN prevents setup from launching the app afterward.

These are different executables and behaviors. Passing a bare file path to ShareX is documented as an upload action, so do not use that syntax as a local image-viewing example.

Prepare capture-only work before going offline

Check the after-capture workflow, output folder and OCR language list using a non-confidential sample. Install required Windows OCR language support while connected, then reopen the OCR window to confirm its language is available.

The publisher documents a bundled .NET 9 runtime, but language data and recording helpers are separate considerations. The exact 21.0.0 source targets newer Windows APIs; test compatibility on the actual Windows build rather than inferring it from x64 alone.

Package guidance is based on the linked documentation, checked 11 September 2026. No installation test is claimed.

Verification scope

A direct package URL is recorded above. We have not independently installed every listed build or confirmed that setup remains fully offline.

We do not host software files. Links may resolve to a publisher domain, its release repository, app store, CDN, or a documented distribution host — confirm the final hostname, publisher signature, version, and architecture before deployment. Recorded URLs last checked 11 September 2026; content last updated 11 September 2026.

What ShareX does

ShareX 21.0.0 is an open-source Windows capture and workflow tool with separate x64 installer and portable ZIP assets. The installer uses normal Windows setup. The portable archive can keep ShareX configuration and images in a ShareX folder beside the executable, while its sandbox option intentionally saves no settings and is not an operating-system isolation boundary; operating-system, clipboard, temporary-file, antivirus, and destination traces can still exist.

Capturing, annotating, copying, hashing, and saving to a local folder are local operations. Upload tasks, URL shorteners, destination history, and service integrations transmit selected files or metadata to the configured third party. Automatic upload is disabled by default for new installations according to the 19.0.1 change carried into this release series. Still review existing or imported after-capture and upload tasks before handling confidential screens. A blur or pixelation annotation may be reversible or insufficient depending on how the output is produced; use destructive redaction and inspect the final exported pixels when secrecy matters.

OCR uses Windows OCR capabilities and installed language support; results depend on language packs, resolution, layout, and image quality. Screen recording can require FFmpeg-related components and access to audio/capture APIs. Third-party upload destinations, tools, and custom actions have their own credentials, availability, retention, and trust boundaries.

The displayed SHA-256 references are from the official release asset metadata. No install, portable trace, upload, OCR, redaction, recording, or credential-handling test was performed.

Installation notes

Grouped by the package types recorded on this page — not a claim that every listed build was independently tested on every supported platform.

Windows Windows archive (ZIP/7Z)

  1. 1

    Extract the recorded file (ShareX-21.0.0-portable-x64.zip) into a separate folder and check the publisher's instructions for the executable or setup program inside. ZIP/7Z describes compression, not installation behavior.

  2. 2

    A no-installer build may still store settings, credentials, caches, or Registry entries outside that folder. Check ShareX's configuration and removal instructions before moving or deleting it.

Windows Windows installer (EXE)

  1. 1

    Download the recorded file (ShareX-21.0.0-setup-x64.exe). If it has a digital signature, inspect the signer and validation result in Properties → Digital Signatures. If no signature is present, follow the publisher's documented verification method; a missing signature does not authenticate the file.

  2. 2

    Check any Windows warning before proceeding. A SmartScreen reputation warning is not signature verification; stop if the publisher is unexpected or the file is reported as malicious.

  3. 3

    Follow the publisher's setup prompts to finish; options vary by release, so review each screen rather than clicking through.
