Copy and paste text with its formatting and links

Most clipboard managers keep only plain text. Copy History + keeps the basic formatting of what you copy: links, bold, styles. Paste it back and it looks the same.

Free: the 5 latest items. PRO: all items.

About keep formatting & links

When a clipboard manager saves only plain text, every link in a copied paragraph is lost and has to be added again by hand. Copy History + saves the basic formatting together with the text, so a paragraph with links pastes back with its links.

Items saved with formatting are marked in the list. Paste them into an email, a document or any rich text editor and they look the way they did on the page.

In the free version the formatting is kept for the 5 most recently added items, which covers everyday copy and paste. PRO keeps it for all items in your history.
