Upload to your server.
Or ours. Your choice.
If you are looking at options besides Gyazo, Maxisnap lets you pick the upload destination: Maxisnap Cloud, or your own server with the Studio add-on.
Maxisnap is a Gyazo alternative that lets you own the upload destination. It has an instant capture-and-share workflow: press hotkey, drag region, paste link. Maxisnap Cloud is built in, and your own SFTP or S3 destination is part of the one-time $29 Studio add-on, with the upload target configurable per-capture. About Studio
Gyazo is a screenshot and screen recording service from Helpfeel that uploads each capture to the cloud and returns a shareable link. gyazo.com

Gyazo may suit you better if you want every capture synced to the cloud automatically, or if you also capture on iOS, Android or in a browser extension.
Gyazo questions
Is uploading to Maxisnap Cloud a privacy risk?
Maxisnap Cloud is a shared host: the file sits on infrastructure you don’t control, and a share link is by design reachable by anyone who has it. If your captures routinely contain sensitive information, uploading to your own server with the Studio add-on gives you direct control over access and retention.
Where are Gyazo screenshots stored?
Gyazo uploads each capture to the cloud and returns a shareable link. Maxisnap Cloud is built in; custom SFTP and S3-compatible destinations require the $29 one-time Studio add-on.
Does Maxisnap replace Gyazo?
For the core capture-and-share loop, yes, and you pick where the file lives. Both also run on the Mac; Maxisnap for Mac needs macOS 13 or later.
Can I self-host the upload target?
Yes, with Studio. It is a $29 one-time add-on for SFTP, FTP, S3-compatible, and HTTP destinations using your configured public base URL.
Your captures. Your server. Your call.
Choose where your screenshots live — our cloud, or your own server.
