ShareX can do so many things, it's a bit intimidating to use, but there's nothing better. There are more advanced features you can play with, too, like image filters, watching a folder for new images (so you can use ShareX to upload images saved by other applications), blurring sections of a photo, and even adding text. That means less time fumbling with the Twitter web app to share your new house in The Sims and more time you can spend playing games. ShareX can upload screenshots directly to Imgur, Twitter, Google Photos, Dropbox, OneDrive, and dozens of other services in just a few clicks. Once you’re ready to show off your shot to the world, you can upload your capture to over 80 services without leaving the application. Want to set it up to take a screenshot of part of your screen every 3 seconds? Need a built-in color picker? Record a GIF? Copy a screenshot to the clipboard? Set up your own custom keyboard shortcuts? It can capture full-screen or partial images in multiple formats and has some crazy powerful automation tools. If you’re looking for more features (and don’t mind downloading an additional tool), you should check out ShareX. It's also simple to use Game Bar for taking screenshots in games, but two specialized recommendations below are better for Steam and Nvidia users. A notification should appear telling you that the screenshot was saved, and by default, it goes to the ‘Captures’ directory of your Videos folder. (You may also need to hold the Function key simultaneously if you're on a laptop keyboard). To take a screenshot without opening the bar first, use the keyboard shortcut Windows + Alt + Print Screen.

The popup that appears will have buttons for taking a screenshot, recording gameplay video, and other features. To access the Game Bar, press Windows + G at the same time. It's the Windows Game Bar (sometimes also named the Xbox Game Bar). If you want to take a full-screen snap or want to record a video of your screen, another built-in app has you covered. Here you'll find a list of recently copied text and images ready for pasting. If you've already taken multiple screenshots with the old school Print Screen technique and can't find them all, use Windows + V to access the clipboard.
