Upload to your server.
Or ours. Your choice.
Gyazo locks your captures to their infrastructure. Maxisnap treats the upload destination as yours to pick — every time.
Maxisnap is a Gyazo alternative that lets you own the upload destination. Same instant capture-and-share workflow — press hotkey, drag region, paste link. The difference is that Gyazo stores every screenshot on their servers, and Maxisnap gives you the choice of your own SFTP, your own S3, or the Maxisnap Cloud, with upload target configurable per-capture.

Gyazo vs Maxisnap
Gyazo questions
Is Gyazo safe?
It's a legitimate service, but all uploads go to shared infrastructure by default. For privacy-sensitive workflows, a tool that lets you host on your own server is structurally safer.
Where are Gyazo screenshots stored?
Gyazo uploads to its hosted service by default. Maxisnap Cloud is built in; custom SFTP and S3-compatible destinations require the $20 one-time Studio add-on.
Can I delete a Gyazo screenshot I uploaded?
Yes, via their web UI — if you have an account and remember it. Self-hosted uploads let you delete the file the same way you'd delete any file you own.
Does Maxisnap replace Gyazo?
Yes. Core capture-and-share workflow matches. The difference is you pick where the file lives — not the tool vendor.
Can I self-host the upload target?
Yes, with Studio. It is a $20 one-time add-on for SFTP, FTP, S3-compatible, and HTTP destinations using your configured public base URL.
Your captures. Your server. Your call.
