Why You Should Copy and Paste Images From Clipboard?
Let’s be honest. How many times do we actually view a photo after saving it on our computer? Maybe one, or twice, but unless it’s an important document, most media files just hoard up your storage. We often come across situations where one needs to share an image from the internet in some conversation as a one-time thing. In such cases, it’s better to copy the image to clipboard and paste it to share. Here’s a sure-shot method using which you can paste an image anywhere in Google Chrome.
Paste Images From Clipboard in Chrome
While there are many methods of making this happen, the easiest way is by using the Copy-n-Paste extension. The best part is that it works in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and any other Chromium-based browser like Brave. Here’s how you can make it work:
1. Download and install the Copy-n-Paste extension in your Chrome browser.
2. Copy any image to your clipboard by pressing Ctrl+C or by using the copy option from the right-click menu.
3. Open the website or location where you want to paste the image. Left-click on the upload area to see a “Upload File” option. Click on the file.
4. Hover your mouse to complete the process.
The image copied on your clipboard will get pasted and uploaded to your desired location. This feature also works when you have to upload an image on any website. You can also use it to share and upload screenshots using the Print Screen button on your keyboard, without saving the screenshot on your computer.
