Paste as

Whatever's on your clipboard, turned into a file in the folder you're in.

Saving something you've copied usually means opening another app first. Paste as skips that step entirely - right-click inside any folder and it turns whatever's on your clipboard into a file, right there.

The submenu adapts to what you've actually copied: images can be saved as Bitmap, Icon, JPG, or PNG; text and links can become file shortcuts, URL shortcuts with a QR code, or HTML, Markdown, and plain text files - even mixed content copied from apps like OneNote.
