Clipboard Image Manager

Geared toward all types of users, Clipboard Image Manager is a simple-to-use software application that gives you the possibility to sort and save graphics copied to the Clipboard, facilitating access to a history panel with image thumbnails and a built-in editor with basic settings.

Installer, prerequisites, and interface

Setting up this tool takes minimal time and effort. However, you must have .NET Framework installed, since it was developed with the aid of this platform.
Concerning the interface, Clipboard Image Manager opts for a standard window with a neatly structured layout, showing the thumbnail of each captured image. It starts monitoring the Clipboard as soon as it's launched.

Manage and save Clipboard images

Any clip can be made the current Clipboard item by copying it again. By double-clicking an entry, you can open the image in the integrated editor to make selections and delete unwanted parts of the picture or copy only the ones you're interested in, as well as to crop and print the photo.
All or just the selected images can be saved as BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG or TIF files. The software utility can be minimized to the systray to make it less invasive and carry on with your normal desktop activity without interruptions.

Evaluation and conclusion

It didn't put a strain on the computer's performance in our tests, thanks to the fact that it needed a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly. The app worked smoothly, without causing the operating system to hang, crash or prompt errors. Unfortunately, it doesn't support transparency when copying PNGs, nor does it integrate options for resizing pictures.
In conclusion, Clipboard Image Manager may not have a particularly rich set of features, but it offers a straightforward solution for sorting and saving graphical elements copied to the Clipboard.
