How to Use Online Clipboard

Online Clipboard makes it easy to move text, images, and files between any two devices in under a minute. Here's a step-by-step guide.

Sending content

• Open Online Clipboard on the device that has the content (your phone, laptop, etc.)
• Choose what you want to send: Text, Image, or File
• For text, simply type or paste it into the box. For images and files, drag and drop them or click to browse and select.
• Click the "Send" button
• You'll receive a 6-digit retrieval code — note it down or copy it

Retrieving content

• Open Online Clipboard on the device where you want the content
• Go to the "Retrieve" tab
• Enter the 6-digit code you received
• Click "Retrieve" — your text, image, or file will appear and can be copied or downloaded

Things to know

• Codes expire after 24 hours, after which the content is permanently deleted
• File uploads are limited to 5 MB
• No account or login is required at any step
• Content is encrypted in transit for your security

Common use cases

Copy a long password from your laptop to type into your phone, send a screenshot from your phone to your work computer, share a quick code snippet between two machines, or move a downloaded file from one browser session to another — all without emailing yourself or using a USB cable.

Tips for best results

Since codes are shared and expire quickly, avoid sending highly sensitive personal data such as passwords to financial accounts or government ID numbers. For quick, everyday transfers between your own devices, Online Clipboard is fast and convenient.
