The Paste

Description

Speed up your workflow by pasting files and image data directly into the WordPress media library.

You can copy files and image data from many desktop applications:

• macOS Finder
• Windows Filesystem
• Screenshots
• Adobe Photoshop
• Gimp
• LibreOffice
• GoogleDocs
• Adobe XD
• SVG from Adobe XD, Illustrator, Figma and Affinity Designer (Note: An additional plugin for SVG Support is required. My favorite: Safe SVG)
• And some more…

… and paste it to Classic Editor or directly to the media library.

The most recent Desktop versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari are supported.

Install Safe SVG to enable SVG support.

Known Issues

• Firefox does not support pasting multiple files from the OS filesystem.
• Safari lacks the support to convert images to the webP format.
• Pasting in TinyMCE triggers a JavaScript error if Real Media Library is active. Pasting in the media library is still working.
• Edge is working suspiciously well, which is very unusal in the Microsoft world and must be considered a bug.

Absolutely awesome plugin

If there is an option to add the ability to paste images into the site in .jpg format instead of .png as currently, it would be even better. Anyway, thanks to the author.

A really great plugin!

This is one of those essential plugins to have on your site. I wish I found it years earlier, it would have saved me bunch of time and effort!!!

Works as described.

Its much fater and convinient to just copy/paste the image than save/download and then upload and insert. Thanks for this plugin. Works good.

Works great! Never caused a problem
