Capture and upload desktop screen

Gyazo is a tool that captures a part of the desktop screen of a personal computer and uploads it to the Web.

When you start Gyazo and select a part of the screen, the selection is automatically uploaded to the web. Uploaded images are assigned a unique image URL.

How to capture and upload desktop screen

3. Release the mouse and Gyazo instantly uploads your image with a unique link.

The long string that makes up your unique link can’t be guessed or found by others until you share it. But, anyone with the link can see it instantly without needing to sign up.

4. Share by pasting instantly.

The link is copied to the clipboard automatically when you capture so you’re ready to paste right after you capture. You can go from start to finish in seconds.

You can also share Gyazo links directly in chat, posts, docs, and tickets with markdown, embedding, and direct file pasting.
