Plain Paste

Clean, unformatted text every time you paste

Pasting without formatting

Copy text as you normally would, then press Ctrl+Shift+V instead of Ctrl+V. The text is inserted into the active app with all formatting stripped — no more mismatched fonts, colors, or sizes.

Document comparing a regular formatted paste with a plain text paste — Regular paste keeps the original fonts and highlighting. Plain Paste inserts the same words without that formatting. View full-size screenshot.

Changing the shortcut

Open Settings, select Paste+, and find the Plain Paste section to change or turn off the shortcut.

Works everywhere

Plain Paste works across virtually any Windows application, so you can move text between programs without cleaning up the formatting afterward.

Paste as

Turn whatever's on your clipboard into a file, right in the folder you're in

Using it

Copy something — text, a link, an image — then right-click empty space inside a folder and choose Paste as. A submenu shows the formats you can paste as, based on what's on your clipboard. In File Explorer or on the desktop, you can also press Ctrl+Alt+V; change or turn off this shortcut in the Paste as section of the Paste+ page.

Pasting an image

With an image on your clipboard, Paste as offers Bitmap, Icon, JPG or PNG — pick one and the image is saved as a new file in the current folder.

Paste as submenu offering image file formats — With an image on the clipboard, choose the file format from Paste as to save it in the current folder. View full-size screenshot.

Pasting text, links, and mixed content

With text or a link copied, you can create a file shortcut or URL shortcut (plus a URL QR code), or save the content as an HTML, Markdown or plain text file. If your clipboard has both text and an image (for example, copied from OneNote), Paste as offers combined HTML+image, Markdown+image, or text-file options too.
