The WordPress editor supports drag-and-drop uploading of images, which is very convenient. Once, I had a large number of photos that needed to be uploaded. These photos were all exported directly from the SLR. The files were relatively large. Direct uploading was not only slow, but also took up more server space. So I had to compress and crop the photos before uploading them, which was a lot of work.
Can I paste images directly into the WordPress editor?
When cropping photos, I directly use QQ to take screenshots, then save the captured pictures locally, and then drag and drop to upload them. It would be great if I could paste the pictures directly! So I searched the Magnum official plug-in warehouse and found that there is such a plug-in. This is the Image Paste we will introduce below.
Image Paste pastes pictures and uploads them to WordPress media library plug-in introduction
[Image Paste](http://wordpress.org/plugins/imagepaste/) The plug-in allows us to copy and paste images directly from the desktop into the WordPress editor without having to upload them first and then insert them. Just find the image, copy it (CTRL+C), and then paste it into the WordPress editor (CTRL+V). The plug-in will help us upload the image to the media library and then insert it into the WordPress editor. However, only advanced browsers (Firefox18 or Chrome 24) support this feature, and IE is despised again.
After installing it, there are no setting options, just paste the image directly in the editor. The process of pasting is to upload the image to the WordPress media library and then insert it into the article.
There is another similar plug-in:OnePress Image Elevator
Comparison between drag and drop upload and paste upload
In order to facilitate comparison, a simple flow chart was made:
Drag and drop upload:
Paste upload:
It’s clear at a glance which method is convenient and quick.
In fact, HTML5 drag-and-drop upload is just a small optimization of the file upload process. During the upload process, the file must be found before the upload operation can be performed. The advantage is that it is universal, as long as the browser supports HTML5, drag-and-drop uploading is supported. However, paste upload requires customized development for a certain system, and its versatility is not as good as HTML.
