Asked, and answered.
Is Lightshot safe?
For private screenshots, read its privacy policy first. It says every image uploaded to its site is public and can be viewed by anyone who types its address, and that the site is for sharing images, not for keeping them secure.
Can I remove a screenshot I uploaded to Lightshot by mistake?
Lightshot’s FAQ says to write to its support, or to press the abuse button under the image. With VizShot the file is in your own bucket, so you delete it yourself.
Where do VizShot uploads go?
To your own Cloudflare R2, Amazon S3 or Backblaze B2 bucket, straight from your computer, under a random 32-character name. Anyone you give the link to can open it, and nobody can guess it.
Is VizShot free like Lightshot?
Lightshot is free. VizShot is $8 once, after 14 days with every feature and no account to make. You pay your storage provider for the bucket, which for screenshots is usually small.
Does VizShot work on Mac and Windows?
Yes. It is the same app on both, and one key covers two computers in any mix.
