Almost every day we need to repeat copying/pasting operations countlessly, yet the Windows built-in clipboard can only hold one record every time, and disappears immediately after shutdown; Storing them in a plain text document does not support multimedia file formats; Using Office document instead, neither does that support shortcut link and other special formats, nor the multimedia typesetting format is easy to control in style; In particular, separating text content and media files is always not a good idea.

Therefore, we need help from some clipboard enhancing tools to remove all kinds of restrictions in the above-mentioned situations, such as to improve our work efficiency (copy/paste operations). And after AppNee’s test and experience for a long time, finally we identified a fact: among all similar software, ClipX is much better than another two very powerful and popular clipboard alternatives CLCL and Ditto.

As a tiny (only 100 KB) and free clipboard manager, ClipX not only greatly expands the item capacity of Windows clipboard, and also can perfectly store the real-time or customized clipboard entries in the form of history list (supports the thumbnail preview for image entries). Most important, all of these are allowed to use quickly and efficiently in a flexible way of shortcuts (you don’t have to switch back and forth among different windows any more).
