ShareX
The Windows screenshot tool that replaces five paid apps.
What it is
ShareX captures screens, scrolling pages, and short GIFs, then annotates or uploads them. It is free and open source. The settings screen is dense; pick a hotkey and ignore the rest until you need it. On a Mac, CleanShot or the built-in tools cover the same job.
