Aktar for Windows

The Mac app, rebuilt for Windows: upload files and screenshots to your own S3-compatible storage from the notification area and get the link on your clipboard.

Get it from Microsoft

Windows 10 and 11

Download .exe

Updates arrive the day they're released. Windows may warn you, since the app isn't signed yet. How to install

What you can do

  • Lives in the notification area

    Click the tray icon for the upload panel. Drag files onto it, paste from the clipboard or pick them in File Explorer.

  • One shortcut from anywhere

    Press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+U to upload what is on your clipboard, a screenshot or a file copied in File Explorer. You can change the shortcut.

  • Your uploads and your buckets

    A searchable history with previews, plus a browser for every folder in each bucket: search, preview, upload into folders, rename, move and delete.

  • Links the way you paste them

    Copy a plain URL, Markdown, HTML or your own template, or a temporary link for a private bucket. Uploads can also delete themselves after 1, 7, 14 or 30 days.

  • Works with Raycast

    The same local API as on the Mac, so the Aktar extension for Raycast works on Windows too.

  • Updates itself

    Launch at sign-in, automatic updates, light and dark mode. Keys stay in Windows Credential Manager.

Requirements

  • Windows 10 (1809 or later) or Windows 11, x64
  • Microsoft Edge WebView2, built into Windows 11 and added by the installer on Windows 10
  • Any S3-compatible storage: Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, DigitalOcean Spaces, MinIO and more
