<p>It depends on your definition of portability. Some people would argue that it is not, because it needs to have the Microsoft .NET framework 2.0 or later installed. As this is already the case on most computers, we regard Greenshot as portable. If you prefer portability over an easy install, download the ZIP distribution from our <a href="/version-history/">version history</a>, unpack its contents to your hard disc or a USB stick and start Greenshot.exe. If you do not know whether .NET framework is installed on your computer, simply <a href="/downloads/">download the latest Greenshot installer</a>, it will check for .NET and offer to install it if it is missing.</p>
<p>By depending on the .NET framework, Greenshot obviously also needs a Microsoft Windows operation system to work.</p>

title: How can a screenshot be passed to another software?
tags: []

This can be done by the so called _external commands_. Here you find some interesting descriptions about them:
* [How to use the External Command Plugin to send screenshots to other applications](https://getgreenshot.org/2013/01/28/how-to-use-the-external-command-plugin-to-send-screenshots-to-other-applications/)
* [How to send an image to Skype using command line arguments](https://getgreenshot.org/2013/02/17/how-to-send-an-image-to-skype-using-command-line-arguments/)
* [How to Upload Screenshots to a Web Server via FTP, SCP or SFTP](https://getgreenshot.org/2013/11/07/how-to-upload-screenshots-to-a-web-server-via-ftp-scp-or-sftp/)
The screenshots are saved in the temporary folder defined by %TEMP%.
Furthermore, own batch scripts can be created to realise more complicated or customized tasks.
As a hint: _%1_ is the first argument passed to the script and most likely the file name sent from Greenshot by "{0}".
_%1_ includes the surrounding quotes whereby _%~1_ removes them in a Windows batch file.
