Need to quickly share a photo to an email, social post, or document? Mylio Photos has a built-in Copy and Paste feature that makes it easy to move your images directly into almost any app on your computer—no need to export first.
How It Works
Copying an image from Mylio Photos creates a high-quality JPEG and places it on your system clipboard. From there, you can paste it directly into other programs like:
- Email (Gmail, Outlook, etc.)
- Social media via web browser
- Word processors and design tools
- File managers (Windows Explorer/macOS Finder)
Quick Copy and Paste (Default Settings)
- Select your photo(s) in Mylio Photos
- Copy using:
- Right-click > Clipboard > Copy
- The three-dot Actions menu > Clipboard > Copy
- Or use Ctrl + C (Windows) or Cmd + C (Mac)
- Paste in your destination app using Ctrl + V or Cmd + V
Great for fast, everyday sharing.
Advanced Copy and Paste (Custom Settings)
Want to control file type, resolution, or metadata?
- Select your photo(s)
- Click the Share icon > choose System Clipboard
- On first use, choose an export preset or adjust settings
- Click Share to System Clipboard
- Paste into your target app
This gives you more control, which is ideal when preparing images for the web or design work.
Copy + Paste Compatibility Note
Most apps accept images from the clipboard, but results may vary depending on how they handle pasted content (pixels vs. links).
