Automatic adding images in background?

Due to security reasons in modern browsers, DropFromClipboard cannot automatically read the clipboard in the background.

Website ignores the image

This is due to website internal logic, DropFromClipboard show images as raw data:image because is the simplest implementation to save the images, if the website expects an actual image or not handle raw data, it will ignore the image, you can try luck using the overlay option, sorry for the incovenience.

Supported formats

DropFromClipboard supports any image/png supported by the user browser, common formats like PNG, JPG or WEBP works properly, please read your browser documentation for more information.

I want to store too many images

In theory, there is not problem and may depend on your device storage (not a problem in any common computer).

Talking about the popup size (if using Browser Extension), the browser will display a scrollbar (native behavior, not programmed by me) when the viewport is considered too big, however, in very small screen this may work wrong.
