How clipboard permissions work

Browsers require HTTPS and a direct button click for most clipboard operations. Reading is more restricted than writing because clipboard contents may contain sensitive information. This tool reads only when you explicitly press the Read Clipboard button.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this tool read my clipboard automatically?

No. Clipboard reading happens only after you press the read button and the browser grants access.

Why does copy work but paste fails?

Browsers commonly allow user-triggered writing while requiring stronger permission for reading.

Can the tool read images or files from my clipboard?

No. This page tests plain-text clipboard access only.
