Online Clipboard is a free web-based tool that acts as a shared clipboard between any two devices. Instead of relying on a single browser's copy-paste memory, it lets you push text, an image, or a small file to a temporary, encrypted storage slot identified by a random 6-digit code. Open the site on a second device — a phone, laptop, tablet, or even a shared computer — type in that code, and your content appears immediately. There is nothing to install and nothing to configure.
The idea is simple, but it solves a problem almost everyone runs into multiple times a week: getting a piece of information from the device you have it on to the device you actually need it on, right now, without emailing yourself or fighting with a messaging app's compression.
Emailing yourself a link works, but it means opening a mail client, finding your own address, and waiting for the round trip. Messaging apps like WhatsApp or Telegram are built for conversations, not transfers — they compress images, bury files in chat history, and require both devices to be signed into the same account. Cloud drives like Google Drive or Dropbox require an upload, a sync delay, and often a login on the receiving end too. Online Clipboard skips all of that: there is no account, no chat thread, no folder structure, and no compression. You paste or upload, get a code, and retrieve — usually in under ten seconds end to end.
Every transfer is encrypted in transit and stored only long enough to be retrieved — a strict 24-hour window, after which it is permanently and automatically deleted from our servers. We do not ask for an email address, a phone number, or any account details, and we never associate a transfer with a personal identity. You can read the full breakdown on our Privacy Policy page.
