Paste image to download
Copied an image and just want the file? Paste it above, and it downloads the moment it lands. This paste downloader turns images/pictures on your clipboard into a real image file. There’s no saving screenshots to the desktop first, no hunting for a “Save image” option, and no editor in between.
Paste image, keep it. That’s the whole idea.
How to paste an image to download it
Paste to download in three steps:
- Copy an image from anywhere: a web page, a chat, Google Docs, a screenshot tool.
- Come back to this page.
- Press Ctrl+V (⌘+V on a Mac). The download starts instantly.
No keyboard shortcut? Click the box (your browser asks permission to read the clipboard the first time), or right-click it and choose Paste.
How to copy an image, photo, or screenshot
Not sure how to get an image onto your clipboard? These are the quickest ways:
- Windows screenshot: press Windows+Shift+S. The screen dims. Drag over the part you want and let go. It’s copied to your clipboard instantly, so you can come back here and press Ctrl+V.
- Mac screenshot: press ⌘+Control+Shift+4. Drag over the area you want. Holding Control copies it to the clipboard instead of saving it to your desktop.
- An image on a web page: right-click it and choose Copy image.
- Mobile Phones: touch and hold the image, then choose Copy or Copy image.
- Google Docs or Slides: click the image, then press Ctrl+C (⌘+C on a Mac).
Once it’s copied, paste it into the box above to download the copied image as a file. More shortcuts are in this guide.
Download a copied image from Google Docs and Slides
Google Docs and Slides make saving a single picture oddly hard. Right-click an image, and you won’t find a simple “Save image as.” The usual workarounds are slow. You can download the whole document as a web page and dig the picture out of a zipped folder, or download a slide as a PNG and crop the picture out of it.
Skip all that. Select the image, copy it, and paste it here. The download starts right away. This works in Google Docs and Slides, and the same copy-and-paste trick makes this an image downloader for anything you can copy but can’t easily save:
- Websites and web apps that switch off right-click saving
- Chat and web tools where an image only offers “Copy image”
- Screenshots that exist only on your clipboard
- Pictures inside PDFs and slide decks
If you can copy it, you can download it here. If a site won’t even offer Copy, see what to do when right-click save doesn’t work.
Don’t even want to copy? Drag and drop
You can skip the clipboard entirely. Drag an image from a web page and drop it onto the box. It downloads the moment you let go. Put the two windows side by side, grab the picture, and drop it.
Image files from your computer work too, and you can drop several at once. They download one after another, and your browser may ask to allow multiple downloads.
Choose PNG, JPG, or WebP before you download
By default, your image downloads exactly as you copied it, in the same format with nothing lost. If you’d rather have a specific format, use the Save as menu next to the privacy note:
- PNG is lossless and keeps transparency, so it suits screenshots, logos, and graphics.
- JPG makes smaller files, which is good for photos. It has no transparency, so transparent areas turn white.
- WebP is smaller than both at similar quality, and most websites and apps now take it.
Conversion happens in your browser, and it remembers your choice for next time. Converting a JPG to PNG won’t improve its quality. The file just gets bigger.
Every image you paste, kept for a day
Every paste download adds a card under the box with a preview, the file name, and a download button, so you can grab the same image again with one click. The last five are kept for 24 hours, and Clear history wipes them whenever you like.
Nothing leaves your device
Your image goes from the clipboard to your downloads folder without a detour. There’s no upload and no database, because the whole thing runs in your browser. The 24-hour history is stored on your own device too, and Clear history deletes it.
