I’m trying to figure out how I can choose an image in my clipboard when the media picker window comes up.

For example, if I’m on imgur.com and I want to upload an image in my clipboard, there is no option for me to paste into the input field.

Ideally, I would like to have something available in the media picker to paste from clipboard. That would allow using clipboard for any app.

I kinda consider this something like adding the clipboard to the “share” menu. https://github.com/tengusw/share_to_clipboard

Is there anything like this?

I do not have root access on my phone.

    No, using the share function from whatever app you’re sharing from. In Firefox, when I long-press an image, there’s a share option right there.

    I’m on Android 15 and I also get a share button when I copy an image to the clipboard too.

        That is what the share function does, when you choose to share to an external location. If you have the imgur app, you can choose it as a destination from the share menu and it will upload it.

          Imgur was only an example. I don’t want to use imgur’s app and there are other websites or apps that I would like to upload to that do not work in that way.

          I just want to be able to select an image from my clipboard when an app wants me to select an image from my phone.
