Clipboard Saver

The Windows clipboard is that invisible feature you can’t really imagine working on a computer without. It skips a considerable amount of time and effort whenever you need to copy files and folders to other locations, but it can only hold one item. Luckily, developers came out with specialized applications like Clipboard Saver to extend its functionality.

A neat thing about it is that you don’t even have to install it on your computer for things to work out. You can store it on a USB flash drive and carry it with you, with the possibility to use it on other PCs as well, without worrying that registries or stability is affected.

The application’s target is the clipboard, but it’s not exactly the extension you’re hoping to find. This isn’t a bad thing, but the core function is to provide more options to manage and save clipboard items to file for later use, rather than making it easy to select other entries to have them instantly pasted.

With the main window up, a history column fills in real time as you copy elements in your work. Depending on your interest, you can make the application save both text and images, or only one of those two specific types of content. Another section is used to preview content, with two tabs for text info, as well as additional details.

What makes it particularly handy for saving items are the sets of actions you can apply to both images and text. For instance, an automatic save option can be configured so that files are automatically saved to a custom location whenever you copy something, have more text added to an existing entry, or images processed to be saved under different size specifications.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that Clipboard Saver is an application which can prove pretty helpful if you need to copy lots of different content, but don’t really have time to save it yourself. Lists can be configured and exported for later use, with various options to also modify content before it’s automatically saved.
