Any screenshot captured can easily be uploaded on one of five pre-defined websites for a specific period of time. After uploading the tool offers you a link to the uploaded screenshot which you can later use to share the screenshot with your friends, colleagues or family.

While using the screenshot hosting feature, you might want to double check what and where are you uploading, in order to prevent uploading images you might not wish to get out of your machine, especially that once you’ve uploaded an image it will be there until its expiry date is reached!

A small image editing tool is available through Shotty screen capture which makes your job even easier, when sharing those screenshots as you can write notes, highlight specific areas and much more.

By all means Shotty screen capture represents a new era of screen capture tools, especially if we compared it to currently available competing tools. Thus we strongly recommend you give Shotty screen capture a try
