PasteEx

PasteEx is a lightweight Windows utility that converts clipboard contents directly into files, streamlining workflows that involve frequent copying of images, text, or rich content. The tool automatically analyzes clipboard data and determines the correct file type, supporting formats such as images, HTML, RTF, and plain text. It provides customizable text extension rules so developers and power users can map clipboard patterns to specific file types based on content signatures. PasteEx also includes a monitor mode that runs in the system tray and enables fast keyboard-triggered pasting operations for improved productivity. Designed as portable software with minimal setup requirements, it integrates with the Windows context menu for quick access.
