ClipMagic (a Clipboard Extender) is Now Freeware

While I personally prefer Clipmate, I've used ClipMagic before and now that it is freeware it is definitely the best of the free clipboard extender programs. A clipboard extender saves copies of everything you put in your clipboard so you can use it later. This makes Windows programs much more convenient to use. You can copy a number of things from various sources and then paste them into another document in any order. Most free clipboard extenders can only hold a few old clips and most can only handle text clips. ClipMagic does not suffer from these limitations. As I said, I prefer the commercial Clipmate but only because I've been using it for many years.

Here is how the ClipMagic web site describes this program:

ClipMagic is a powerful Clipboard Extender and Information Manager for storing Images and Text, either automatically or manually in a categorised format, with details of the URL if the text is from an Internet site.

To save something simply copy it to the Windows Clipboard by pressing CTRL-C or right click on the mouse and select Copy. ClipMagic then automatically stores it and if you have set up Rules & Filters the clip will be moved into a particular category.

Clips can easily be retrieved either by copying from ClipMagic and pasting into your application or by using HotKeys or using the new PastePicker.

While ClipMagic does not have quite as many fancy features as current versions of Clipmate, it has all the features most people will ever need. After a few days of using ClipMagic, you will wonder how you ever got along without it. It runs circles around just every other free (and most commercial) clipboard extender program I've seen, so even if you currently use another free clipboard extender, you may want to give ClipMagic a try.
