Paste+

Paste clean text anywhere, or paste your clipboard into a folder as a file.

Plain Paste pastes the text you copied and nothing else. No fonts, colors or sizes from the web page or document you copied it from. Press Ctrl+Shift+V in virtually any Windows app.

Paste as turns whatever's on your clipboard into a file in the folder you're in. Right-click inside a folder, or press Ctrl+Alt+V in File Explorer, and save a copied image as PNG, JPG, Bitmap or Icon, or save text and links as a URL shortcut with a QR code, HTML, Markdown or plain text file.

Plain Paste works across virtually any Windows application, so you never have to clean up formatting by hand again. Paste as works from the right-click menu in any folder and on the desktop.
