Access your Clipboard History by using the keyboard shortcut Windows Key + V (the first time you use it you’ll have to enable it, then it’s on for good!)

How many times do you have to move from one document to another when it comes to copying and pasting various bits of text or images?

It’s a laborious manual process until you discover Clipboard History for Windows. This is a powerful tool that allows you to keep track of everything you’ve copied and easily access your previously copied items.

What is Clipboard History?

The Clipboard History tool on Windows is a handy feature that allows you to see a list of items you have copied to the clipboard recently. This tool can store text, HTML, and images less than 4 MB in size, with a maximum of 25 entries. The oldest items disappear as new ones are added, and unless an item is pinned, the list resets every time you restart your computer.

On Windows 11  the Clipboard History tool has been enhanced to support copying images, emoticons, and other symbols, making it more versatile.
