FastClip

🖼️ A lightweight Windows tray utility that takes the current image from your clipboard and writes it into the file currently selected in Windows Explorer.

Features

• Save clipboard images directly into files from Windows Explorer
• Replace the selected image or create a new file in the current folder
• Trigger actions with a customizable global hotkey from the tray
• Use Advanced Mode for resize, format selection, and optional JPEG or PNG compression before saving
• Save advanced settings and skip the dialog next time when needed
• Built for fast, reliable clipboard-to-file workflows on Windows

🧩 Supported Formats

• .png
• .jpg
• .jpeg
• .bmp
• .gif
• .tif
• .tiff

⚙️ How to Use?

1. Copy any image to the clipboard.
2. Select a target image file in Windows Explorer, or leave the folder open without a file selected.
3. Press Ctrl+Shift+V, or your configured hotkey.

The app saves the clipboard image into the selected file using that file's extension and format. If no file is selected, it creates a new randomly named file in the current Explorer folder. In Advanced Mode, you can choose the output format before saving.

📦 Build

This repository includes a GitHub Actions workflow that publishes both framework-dependent and self-contained win-x64 builds.

• framework-dependent: much smaller, but requires the appropriate .NET runtime on the target machine
• self-contained: larger, but does not require a separate .NET installation
