Sharex: Is there a way to remove the "getsharex.com" advert in the screen capture?

It is not advert, it is watermark.
You can disable it from After capture tasks -> Add image effects:

or you can edit it from Task settings -> Image -> Effects:

Thanks.

It is not advert, it is watermark

It's an advert, you can't say or convince otherwise

@Aeryi its still better (and you can disable it) than these screenshot programs where the full page is spammed with these ads. Also ads are important and I like to have them turned on because I want to advertise for sharex because i think its good software

[ghost]

@WebFreak001 If you think that watermarking for promoting software is great, remember that the audience will see that images are watermarked, and not even know that they can be disabled, and shrug off the software, as Gyazo (Who do populate their pages when not used with a extension) and Puush do not watermark images, which when hotlinked do not obstruct the image

[Jaex]

If it were advert then it wouldn't be editable or removeable, and it was always exist as watermark for years just was not enabled by default and people didn't know ShareX could do watermark.
Yes it helps advertising but also helps people know that ShareX can do watermark so it is one stone and two birds. Otherwise very high percentage of users won't even enter image effects window at all because they won't know it is exists. So point is people will see watermark and will edit it or remove it.
It obstruct your image because of high dpi, in default dpi it not touch your image.
You telling like it is not possible edit or disable, then I would agree with you and suggest uninstalling this software.
Other softwares gives non direct links to images which contains adverts which earns them money, not to mention few other services uploads to imgur then embeds it to their domain just for advertising. This is what advert is called and it is not possible to disable in that apps and people have no problem with that...

I'm telling it like people do not know that you can remove or disable it,
New users do not know or are not aware that the default option is in fact an option
This "issue" would not exist if I was incorrect (And it's not the first case I've seen, honestly)

[Jaex]

How they don't know, that setting is in main window. It is not like hidden in settings windows.
I would understand if it were hidden in settings window then people couldn't find it.
But "After capture tasks" is needed for very basic needs like saving image or uploading it. So people needed to check it in every case anyway?!

[ghost]

How they don't know

Because they are new to the software and are unaware of what everything does/the full extent of the program

[Jaex]

That people mainly not even try to search, just directly ask how to disable it. If him bothered to check just main window he would find it. Because I even wrote "Watermark" to that "Add image effects" button just so people would notice it more easily. And we designed ShareX to be advanced customiseable software. So people need to customise it to their needs, this is what software designed for. Default settings is what I prefer to be default. So if it not fits them then they just need to customise it to their needs.

[ghost]

I should also add, quoting yourself, on handling images though a ShareX Webpage, which is just as hard as changing the post-capture task

But then if I make it default setting then many people will hate ShareX because they won't know it is possible to disable and it is more ugly solution than watermark imo.

...

But then again many people won't know it is image effect and possible to disable and they will stop using ShareX.

Good to know you agree with me

[Jaex]

I decided to make watermark on by default after people actually request it, like this: #285

So unlike you, people actually wanted ShareX to be known and try to support ShareX.

[ghost]

Where do you think I'm sourcing your quotes from?

[Jaex]

How do you think I found that link now?

[ghost]

To be honest, it wasn't a request, it was an idea or suggestion on ways to boost the amount of people using the program (Advertising)

[Jaex]

And I not accepted that web site advertising. It was pull request which is "request".

[ghost]

The point still stands

[Jaex]

Feel free to use another software then if you not willing to change single setting which takes 2 seconds compared to our 7 years effort to make this software.
