One of the most used functions on every Windows 10 PC is copy/paste. This is a simple but powerful function, and you can enhance it even further by using any Clipboard manager.
If for some reason, you cannot copy or paste in Windows 10, you should have a look at one of our previous articles for a solution.
When you copy text or an image, it’s placed in your Clipboard, and you use that data stored in Clipboard to paste it further.
Using tools such as Clipboard managers allows you to easily see all the data you copied in the last few days and select it from the Clipboard manager if you need to use it again.
Clipboard managers are rather useful, and if copy and paste data regularly, you might be interested in a Windows 10 clipboard manager.
What is the best clipboard manager tool for Windows 10?
Comfort Clipboard
Comfort Clipboard is an extremely handy software that keeps your clipped data always ready-to-use.
It has many features that other clipboard software doesn’t, especially the ‘autosave’ feature which is very helpful in case you turn off your computer and need your clipped data from the last session after reboot – you can find them into the program.
There are many useful options in the Pro version: data encryption, hiding clipped passwords, hotkey assignment, editing text fragments, and many more.
We recommend you this tool not only for its great price and features but also for its trial version, high-security level, and compatibility with all versions of Windows.
Comfort Software also offers a great on-screen keyboard that you can use easily on every Windows 10 PC or laptop.
Another great tool is Comfort Keys Pro which allows you to customize the functions of the buttons on your keyboard. We recommend you to check them.

ClipboardFusion
This feature is extremely useful if you’re copying text from one application to another because it removes formatting, whitespace, and HTML tags, leaving you just with text.
ClipboardFusion also comes with a Text Replace feature that allows you to easily find and replace all instances of a specific text string in your Clipboard manager.
In order to make your job faster, this tool supports a wide range of hotkeys so you can easily scrub text or turn on syncing just by using a single hotkey.
Thanks to the Clipboard Preview feature you can easily see a preview of any image that is copied to the Clipboard.
In addition to images, this feature also works with HTML color codes, so if you are a web designer you are probably going to like this feature.
It is also worth mentioning that ClipboardFusion fully supports macros, and you can create all sorts of macros by using C#.
This Clipboard manager also supports Clipboard syncing, however, this is a premium feature that requires you to purchase a license.
After purchasing a license you can seamlessly sync all your clipboard entries with other computers and even mobile devices.
ClipboardFusion is a simple Clipboard manager with certain advanced features. One feature that sets apart this application from the rest is its ability for text scrubbing.

ClipCube
Another freeware and lightweight Clipboard manager on our list is ClipCube.
This tool comes with a visually appealing interface and in addition to being a Clipboard manager, this tool also works as a notetaking app.
This is a simple and fast application that allows you to easily edit your previous entries in order to make necessary changes.
We have to mention that ClipCube is a simple application with a simple user interface, and our only complaint is the lack of a search feature in the Direct Paste window.
This app might not be as complex as the previous ones on our list, but it still does a great job.

Ethervane Echo
Ethervane Echo is one of the older Clipboard managers, and as such it lacks some of the features that other entries on our list have.
Most noticeably, this tool lacks a Quick Paste feature that allows you to easily search through your Clipboard history.
Another limitation of this software is the lack of support for non-text data, meaning that you won’t be able to store any images.
It’s worth mentioning that Ethervane Echo comes with a fast search that allows you to easily search through your Clipboard history.
In addition, this tool comes with advanced filters so you can sort Clipboard history by time or even by the used applications in order to organize your Clipboard.
Ethervane Echo hasn’t been updated in a while, and since it misses some major features it might not be the best Clipboard manager, but if you are looking for a Clipboard manager with advanced filtering and simple functionality, Ethervane Echo might be perfect for you.
ShapeShifter
ShapeShifter is also called a Clipboard extender rather than a Clipboard manager because it just enhances the functionality of your Clipboard.
Unlike other Clipboard managers, this one doesn’t require you to use any new shortcuts, and you can perform all you need to do by using Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V shortcut.
It’s also worth mentioning that ShapeShifter supports a wide range of data including text, HTML, videos, pictures, and even files, unlike some other Clipboard managers on our list.
In order to copy and paste data using this tool, you just need to press and hold Ctrl + V shortcut for a while and you’ll see your Clipboard history available. In order to paste data, just select any data from your history and release Ctrl + V keys.
The entire process is streamlined so it feels rather natural since you don’t have to use any new shortcuts.
In addition, you can paste data by selecting your history entries from the Taskbar icon. This method seems a bit inefficient, and we assume that most users will continue to use the shortcut keys.
Although ShapeShifter is an innovative tool, it doesn’t have a search function which is a major flaw in our opinion.
Fortunately, the development team is working hard on this tool, so we might see this feature added in one of the upcoming versions.
