How to Pin Text and Images to Windows 10’s Clipboard History

The Windows 10 logo.

Windows 10 makes copy and paste more convenient with a feature called Clipboard history. It allows you to pin items you frequently copy and paste to a list for quick access. Here's how to use it.

What Is Clipboard History?

Clipboard history was introduced in Windows 10's October 2018 Update. It allows you to see a list of the 25 most recent items you've copied to the Clipboard by pressing Windows+V.

With the History feature enabled, Windows stores entries composed of text, HTML, or images that are less than 4 MB. Larger items aren't stored in the Clipboard history. Items in the list are also erased every time you restart your device unless they're pinned.

By default, Clipboard history is not enabled—you have to turn it on in Settings, so that's what we're going to do first.

How to Enable Clipboard History in Windows 10

To enable Clipboard history, click the Start button, and then click the Gear icon on the left side of the Start menu to open "Windows Settings." Alternatively, you can press Windows+I.

Click "System."

Click "System" in "Windows Settings" on Windows 10.

Click "Clipboard" in the sidebar, and then toggle-On the "Clipboard history" option.

Toggle-On "Clipboard history" in Windows 10.

Clipboard history is now enabled. You can close "Windows Settings" and use the feature anywhere on the system.

How to Pin Items to Clipboard History in Windows 10

After you've enabled Clipboard history, press Windows+V to open the list of items you've copied recently in any application.

The window will appear either near the application you're using or, if all windows are closed or minimized, in the lower-right corner of the screen. The items you've copied most recently will be at the top of the list.

Click the ellipses ( . . . ) next to the item you want to pin on Windows 10.

A small menu will pop up beside the item; select "Pin."

Once you pin an item, it will remain in the Clipboard history, even if you reboot your computer or click "Clear All."

To unpin an item, just press Windows+V to open Clipboard history. Click the ellipses beside the item, and then click "Unpin."

Whenever you want to quickly paste an item you've pinned, just press Windows+V and select it from the list. The item will then be pasted into the application you're using.

Click the item you want to paste in the Clipboard history list on Windows 10.

The best part is you can access the Windows+V menu from anywhere in Windows. Have fun pasting!

It also allows you to combine several files into a single one that's easy to share with others. Here's how to zip and unzip files on Windows 10.
