Splashtop supports text copy/paste via the clipboard. (This feature provides granular control at the account level.) Currently, the copy/paste functionality supports up to 256KB of text for the clipboard, as of v3.4.2.0.
Images are not supported for copy/paste across devices. If you want to transfer an image, best to use the file transfer feature. How do I transfer files?
Enable Text Copy-and-Paste:
- Functionality: This feature allows users to copy text from one device and paste it onto another device within the Splashtop session.
- Usage: It is useful for transferring text data, such as copying a paragraph from a document on your local computer and pasting it into a document on the remote computer.
- Limitations: It supports up to 256KB of text and does not support images.

Starting with version 3.2.4.0, there is a paste clipboard function that can be used to "paste" into fields that do not accept copy/paste into them, such as the Windows login screen. This function translates the copied text into keystrokes, supports up to 80 characters.
Enable Paste Clipboard as Keystrokes:
- Functionality: This feature converts the text in your clipboard into simulated keystrokes, effectively “typing” the text into the remote device.
- Usage: It is particularly useful for pasting text into fields that do not accept standard copy-and-paste operations, such as login screens or secure input fields. Refer to site below for more detail: Boost IT Efficiency with "Paste Clipboard as Keystrokes" (splashtop.com)
- Limitations: It supports up to 80 characters at a time.
