ShareX Integration
PicFast provides built-in ShareX support. ShareX is a free, open-source screenshot and file upload tool for Windows.
One-click setup
Log in to PicFast, go to Settings → ShareX, and download your personalized configuration file. Then in ShareX: Destinations → Import → from file.
The downloaded config includes your API token and server URL, so no manual setup is required.
Manual setup
If you prefer to configure manually, create a new Custom uploader in ShareX:
Request settings
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Request URL | https://your-picfast.com/api/v1/sharex/upload |
| Request method | POST |
| Body | multipart/form-data |
| File form name | file |
| Argument name | key |
| Argument value | Leave empty |
| Headers | Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN |
Response settings
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Response type | Text |
| URL | json:$.links.url |
Verify
Take a screenshot or upload a file in ShareX. The image URL should appear in your clipboard automatically. By default, the Markdown-formatted link is also available.
Troubleshooting
- Make sure
server.base_urlis set to your actual domain. The ShareX config generator uses this value to construct request URLs. - If uploads time out, check your reverse proxy's
client_max_body_size— it should be at least as large as your per-group upload limit. - Verify your API token is still valid. Tokens can be rotated in the PicFast UI under Settings.
