Every Windows user relies on copy and paste. But the built-in clipboard only remembers your last item — once you copy something new, the old one is gone forever. That’s where a clipboard manager makes life easier. With the Clipboard History Manager, you can save multiple text and image items, pin important ones, and restore them whenever you need.
Why the Default Clipboard Isn’t Enough
If you often work with text, code snippets, or images, you know the frustration of copying over something you needed just seconds ago. Microsoft’s built-in clipboard history is limited, and doesn’t always handle images or filenames well. Our tool fixes that by:
- Keeping a full history of copied text and images.
- Preserving original image format, size, and name when you download.
- Allowing you to pin important items so they never get deleted by accident.
- Providing a one-click Paste button for those who don’t want to rely on keyboard shortcuts.
Features at a Glance
- Save multiple items: Every copied text or image is stored in history.
- Pin favorites: Keep essential notes, code, or images safe when clearing history.
- Paste instantly: Use the dedicated Paste button if Ctrl+V isn’t available.
- Export and import: Back up your text clips to JSON and restore later.
- Image-friendly: Downloads retain the original file name and format (PNG, JPG, WebP, etc.).
- Clear options: Remove only unpinned items, or wipe everything with typed confirmation.
Pros and Considerations
Pros:
- Runs fully in your browser — no installation needed.
- Privacy-first: all data is stored locally in your IndexedDB.
- Handles both text and images smoothly.

Considerations:
- Image copying support depends on your browser — some block direct paste-to-clipboard for images.
- Export/import only works with text; images must be saved manually via Download.

FAQs
