Use the public guest key for quick uploads or your own UploadMe API key for account uploads.

Account support

Upload directly into your own UploadMe account by replacing the guest key with your user key.

Fast sharing

Generate direct links quickly for chats, forums, documentation, and support posts.

Open and flexible

ShareX remains free and open source, making it a strong fit for desktop power users.

If you use your own key, uploads go directly to your account. If you regenerate your key, all previous keys stop working immediately.

Note: The guest API key is public and suitable for guest uploads. For account uploads, use your own API key from your UploadMe settings.
