Copy to the clipboard fails, or the paste looks wrong
The clipboard is shared by every program. When another one is holding it, ZunShot cannot write to it.
Copy failed
- Clipboard managers, remote desktop sessions and some password managers hold the clipboard briefly. Wait a second and copy again.
- If it keeps failing, close the clipboard manager or end the remote session, then restart ZunShot.
The pasted image has a white background instead of transparency
Many apps take the bitmap version of the clipboard, which has no transparency. Save as PNG and insert the file instead.
Nothing pastes into a specific app
Some apps accept only files, not images. Save the capture and drag the file into the app.
