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:

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_url is 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.
