Copy to clipboard
Copy your screenshot directly to the clipboard for pasting into other apps.
How to copy
Section titled “How to copy”- Finish editing your screenshot
- Click the Copy button in the export pane
- Paste into any app that accepts images
To skip the editor entirely, set Settings → Captures → After capture to Only Copy (or tick Copy to Clipboard there) and captures are copied as soon as you take them.
What gets copied

- At the current export scale
- In PNG format (for maximum compatibility)
Where to paste
Section titled “Where to paste”Works with:
- Slack, Discord, Teams
- Email clients (Gmail, Outlook)
- Documents (Word, Google Docs, Notion)
- Image editors (Photoshop, Figma)
- Social media (Twitter/X, LinkedIn)
- Basically any app that accepts images
- Quick workflow — Capture → Annotate → Copy → Paste in Slack
- No file needed — Skip saving when you just need to share once
- Full quality — Clipboard uses PNG for crisp images
Note: Copying vs. copying annotations
Section titled “Note: Copying vs. copying annotations”| Command | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Copy button in the export pane | Copies the entire image |
| Cmd/Ctrl+C (annotations selected) | Copies just the annotations |
Cmd/Ctrl+C copies selected annotations (for pasting elsewhere in hypershot); with nothing selected it does nothing. Use the Copy button to copy the whole image.
