Where VizShot is better
It runs on your Mac
ShareX is made for Windows. VizShot is the same app, with the same shortcuts, on a Mac and a PC.
One bucket, both computers
Keep the Cloudflare R2 or Amazon S3 bucket you already have. The same keys work on your Mac and your PC, on your own web address if you like.
A form for each service
Cloudflare R2, Amazon S3 and Backblaze B2 each have their own short form and a step-by-step guide. No endpoint to work out.
Your computer, your bucket, your link.
Captures go straight from your computer to storage you pay for. Nothing passes through us.

Asked, and answered.
Is there a ShareX for Mac?
No. ShareX’s own site describes it as a screenshot tool for Windows, and every download it offers is for Windows. VizShot is a separate app by a different developer.
Can VizShot use the bucket I set up for ShareX?
Yes. A Cloudflare R2 or Amazon S3 bucket is plain storage. Give VizShot the keys and the bucket name and it uploads there too, from your Mac and your PC.
Will my old ShareX links keep working?
Yes. They are files in your bucket. VizShot only adds new ones beside them.
Is VizShot free like ShareX?
ShareX is free and open source. VizShot is $8 once, after 14 days with every feature and no account to make.
Can I use one key on my Mac and my PC?
Yes. One key covers two computers, in any mix of Mac and Windows.
