Overview
Gyazo is built around sharing. Capture a region and the image is uploaded and the link copied to the clipboard in one step, which suits fast back-and-forth in chat and issue trackers.
A paid Pro tier adds unlimited history search, OCR search across captures, and privacy controls. Free captures are stored in the cloud, so treat them as shareable by design.
