Dark mode

Light, dark, or as the system says
WhatsClip in light, previewing C++ code The same clipboard in dark

WhatsClip comes in light and dark. It follows the system until you pick one in Settings.

Any scale

To the size that suits you
WhatsClip at a small scale, an HTML format shown as bytes The same window at a large scale

Scale the interface as you wish - text, icons and spacing grow together.

ClaFi themes

Wears the theme you choose

WhatsClip wears any ClaFi theme. Make your own in Themes.

Every format as text

In the encoding you choose
A list of copied files read as UTF-16 text

Any format on the clipboard can be read as text, in the encoding you choose - HTML fragments, RTF, the private formats of other applications.

Syntax highlighting

For the common languages
C++ copied from an editor, coloured, the language picker set to C++

Code copied from an editor is coloured. The language is detected, and you can pick another.

Exotic languages

Shaped and drawn right
Text in Russian, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Thai, Georgian, Japanese and Korean

However exotic the language is, its text is shaped and drawn the way it is written.

Picture and text

Both previews, when both are there
A copy from a spreadsheet, previewed as a picture and as text

Copy a picture together with its text and WhatsClip previews both - the picture and the text, a tab each.

Pixel by pixel

Zoom in and read any pixel
A picture zoomed in to single pixels, the colour under the cursor read out

Zoom into a picture and point at a pixel to read its colour - as RGB hex, BGR hex, RGB decimal or CSS.

Alpha channel

Transparency read right
