A free alternative to
FastStone Capture
FastStone Capture is Windows only, costs $19.95 after the trial and has no share link: a capture ends up as a file you attach somewhere. Here the capture, the editor and a link with a view counter are free on Windows, macOS and in Chrome.

What you get for free
Free, no trial timer
FastStone Capture asks for a $19.95 license after 30 days. Here there is nothing to buy: capture, editor, clipboard, file and link are free.
Mac and Chrome too
There is no FastStone Capture for Mac. Here the same app runs on macOS and Windows, and the Chrome extension captures inside the browser on any computer.
A link instead of a file
FastStone saves, prints or emails the capture. Here Upload puts a short link in the clipboard and the page shows how many times it was opened.
