This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

The Paste

Сүрөттөө

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.

Скриншоттор

  • Pasting into classic editor. You can either upload the image immediately or do so later. Disable ‘Paste as file’ to turn off pasting.
  • The media library is pastable too
  • Pasted multiple images from macOS Photos into Chrome
  • A layer pasted from Adobe Photoshop 2023
  • Pasted from Affinity Designer. SVG Clipboard contents on the right.
  • Plugin options (Settings > Writing)

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.

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!!!
