Share with Copy and Paste (System Clipboard)

Copy and Paste is a quick and easy way to export images from Mylio Photos to use in other applications. Mylio Photos uses your operating system’s clipboard to temporarily store a copy of your photo that you can paste into most applications or even image-ready fields in a web browser.

Using Copy and Paste on a Computer

Copying an image from Mylio Photos will temporarily create a full-size JPG image and place it on your system clipboard, ready to paste into other documents or applications. If you prefer additional control over the copy-and-paste settings, such as the file size, resolution, or what metadata is embedded, you can specify these settings by clicking the Share icon and selecting System Clipboard.
