Download Install Compare

Clipboard2File is a lightweight Chrome extension that enables instant uploading of images from your clipboard, even on websites that don't natively support pasting images. It eliminates the need to save temporary files or clutter your device with one-time-use images. The extension works by injecting content scripts into websites, allowing seamless integration and quick image uploads.

With permissions to access all website data and clipboard contents, Clipboard2File efficiently reads images from your clipboard and can clear it after pasting if desired. Its compact codebase (<100 lines) ensures minimal impact on browsing performance. The source code is openly available on GitHub for transparency and security verification.
