It is not an official release and is not affiliated with the original ShareX project.
This project is under development and is *not* ready for use.
Supports PNG (including animated variant), WEBP (including animated variant), JPEG, GIFs (should be smaller than your typical ShareX GIF), TIFF, and BMP image formats.
