How to use

  1. Copy any image — a screenshot, a picture from a web page, anything — then press Ctrl+V (⌘V on Mac) on this page. Or drop a file in.
  2. Your image appears straight away. Pick a format — PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, GIF or BMP — or keep the original.
  3. Download the image file, or copy / download its Base64 data URI to paste into code.

FAQ

Is my pasted image uploaded anywhere?

No. The image is read and re-saved entirely in your browser. Nothing is ever sent to a server, so the paste pad works offline and keeps your screenshots private.

What is a Base64 data URI, and what can I do with it?

A data URI is the whole image written out as plain text (it starts with “data:image/…;base64,”). You can paste it straight into HTML, CSS or JSON to embed an image without a separate file — handy for emails, small icons and quick demos.

How do I copy a screenshot to paste here?

On Windows press Win+Shift+S to snip an area to the clipboard, then paste it here. On Mac press ⌘+Ctrl+Shift+4 to copy a selection. You can also right-click most images on the web and choose “Copy image”.

Which format should I download, and why don’t I always see WebP or AVIF?

PNG keeps transparency and is great for screenshots; JPG suits photos; WebP and AVIF give the smallest files but are only offered when your browser can encode them. GIF is saved as a single still frame limited to 256 colours, and BMP is a plain uncompressed bitmap. “Keep original” hands back the exact bytes you pasted.

What is the “Get share link” button, and is the image uploaded when I share it?

No upload happens. The link packs a small, downscaled copy of your image inside its “#” part (the bit after the hash). Browsers never send the “#” part to any server, so the picture travels privately inside the link itself — paste it anywhere and whoever opens it sees the image in the Image Viewer. Very detailed images can be too big to fit in a link; when that happens you’ll get a gentle note and can just download the file instead.
