Trust me bro
this is better than Gayazo & Lightshot

Ok, with that out of the way.
Let's go into fancy stuff.

Lightshot is opensource and it's lightweight

Links

Get it from wherever you fancy.
I got mine from steam.

Ok
Here is the kicker
You have an EXTENSIVE amount of settiongs you can customize and go through.
One example

1744300413222.webp
1744300424127.webp
1744300434286.webp
1744300445642.webp
In fact, if you want
You can config your own servers & settings to receive it.

Ok here the fun bits.
Do whatever you want, but for me i'll share my configs for ImgBB.com
which is one of the main image hosting everyone seen around the forum and others too after that Imgur incident.

First, if you are comfortable with setting it up yourself go nuts.
If not, keep on reading.
Download from this GitHub (read and do whatever checks first duh)
Out of all the files here, you only really care about

joke, we aint @UnusualSubstance

So, we only really care about

Ok if u dont wanna download all that
No problem
create the .sxcu file yourself
here is the code
Code:
{
  "Version": "13.1.0",
  "Name": "imgbb.com",
  "DestinationType": "ImageUploader",
  "RequestMethod": "POST",
  "RequestURL": "https://api.imgbb.com/1/upload",
  "Parameters": {
    "key": "<API KEY HERE (https://api.imgbb.com/)>"
  },
  "Body": "MultipartFormData",
  "FileFormName": "image",
  "URL": "$json:data.url$",
  "ThumbnailURL": "$json:data.thumb.url$",
  "DeletionURL": "$json:data.delete_url$"
}
Replace everything including <> with your API KEY
How do i get API key from imgbb?
easy
It's free & honest to god, if you don't wanna pay & near your account limits
Just make a new account, grab a new API key and update your configs and keep uploading away

So now you have updated your code, double click it.
It wil say something like this
458-2025-04-10-01-00-PM-Clipboard-c.png

Just say yes to them all like the good sheep you are.

and you are ready to go.
Now play with the settings.
which honest to god, you can even custom name it like this

and enjoy :)

So TLDR
if you are lazy, and want to help @Zwielicht save resources on OO, you can start hotlinking images from xxx instead of uploading to OO servers.
It can be exactly the same to a point where you just screenshot and paste in. You don't even need to open up x hosting, upload etc, it does ALL that for you, automatically based on your settings.

I think I blabbed on too much.
Bye
 
I use Awesome Screenshot, works fine for me, with all that text above it looks complicated, you done it again @Rem , hmm.
