Configure your uploader

A ShareX preset with your key already in it. The defaults work as they are; change anything below before you download.

Your preset

Sign in and your key is filled in for you

Every account comes with an upload key. Without one, ShareX's uploads are turned away.

Anyone with this key, or with a preset that contains it, can upload as you. Keep both out of screenshots and chats; if one leaks, regenerate the key in your dashboard.

Paste your key first. A preset without one is refused by the server.

Options

All optional. The preview shows what ends up in the file.

How a link looks when a chat app shows a preview of it.

Default is whichever domain the server is set to, Own uses your verified ones, and a category picks at random from that group.

Per upload

Send a fixed value with every upload, or let ShareX ask you each time. How this works

Comma-separated, up to 10.

The key is shortened here; the download and Copy JSON contain all of it.

After downloading

  1. 1 Double-click the file. ShareX imports it and offers to make it your uploader.
  2. 2 Press your capture hotkey. The link lands on your clipboard.

Rather import by hand? In ShareX, open Destinations › Custom uploader settings › Import and choose the file, or Copy JSON and pick From clipboard. Full guide and troubleshooting
