Clipboard Inspector
Read what's on your clipboard and see which data types it holds, or write test text to it — using the async Clipboard API. Nothing is stored or uploaded; it stays in your browser.
Click “Read clipboard” — your browser will ask permission the first time.
How it works
The async Clipboard API lets a page read (navigator.clipboard.read) and write (writeText) clipboard data, but only from a user gesture and, for reading, with your explicit permission — a deliberate privacy protection, since the clipboard often holds passwords or personal data. This tool shows the text and the list of MIME types present. Nothing is stored, logged or sent; it never leaves your browser.
