Copy & Paste images

What is copy & paste?

Copy & paste is a computer command that enables you to copy and paste contents such as text, images, links, and other data from one location to another. The function temporarily stores the copied information in a place that is invisible to the user (usually the clipboard) and then pastes it to the desired location.
