Clipboard representations
Select a representation to inspect its full contents below.
The browser receives more than the visible paste.
One clipboard item can expose several representations. The destination decides which one it can use; this inspector keeps the browser-visible versions separate so you can compare them.
What can I inspect?
Plain text, styled content, images and source URLs, files, app-specific web formats, and the event values reported by the browser.
Why can paste and drop produce different results?
Paste and drag-and-drop reach the page through different browser events. Each route can expose a different type list, file list, or payload.
Does ContextPaste upload my clipboard?
No. The browser-visible content is inspected locally in this page. Clearing or refreshing removes the current capture.
Can this show every native Mac pasteboard format?
No. Browsers restrict what pages can read. The planned Mac app can inspect native pasteboard representations that a web page cannot access.
Three levels of paste access
The browser exposes a subset. The Mac inspector sees the native pasteboard. ContextPaste adds rules and transforms.
