CustomPaste is a powerful Windows utility that automatically cleans, formats, and transforms your clipboard text as you paste. Create reusable 'recipes' and let `Ctrl+V` finally do the work you want it to.
We've all been there. You copy text from a website, a PDF, or an email, and what you get is a mess. Wrong fonts, awkward line breaks, and hidden formatting that breaks your workflow. You spend precious minutes on the mindless, repetitive task of cleaning it up.
How many hours of your life have you lost to this? There has to be a better way.
From simple text to complex data, CustomPaste gives you superpowers to make every paste perfect.
The #1 Frustration, Solved
Be a surgeon: keep essentials like bold and hyperlinks while enforcing your preferred font. Or, be the executioner: use the Force Plain Text option to nuke all formatting, no questions asked. You are always in control.
The perfect tool for one-off tasks. Use the Quick Menu,triggered from any app by hotkey or mouse, to apply any of your saved recipes on the fly. It's your full toolkit, on-demand, without ever needing to open the main dashboard.
Turn messy lists into organized data in one paste. Instantly purge duplicate lines to find unique entries, sort lists alphabetically, and enforce perfect capitalization with UPPERCASE, lowercase, Sentence Case, or Title Case conversions.
Go from chaotic copy to clean, usable text. Instantly fix AI-generated text by converting “smart quotes” and em-dashes, remove emojis, flatten extra blank lines, and fix all weird whitespace issues without you lifting a finger. Your text is clean before it even arrives.
Stop pasting broken web pages. CustomPaste intelligently handles complex formats. Create recipes to preserve or strip images and keep HTML tables structured. Finally, you can copy from a website without pasting a disaster.
CustomPaste is built to be invisible. It launches on startup and runs silently in the background, always ready but never in your way.
In the dashboard, simply check the boxes for the transformations you need. Think of it as creating the blueprint for your ideal paste.
No scripting or complex manuals required.
Click "Set as Active" to make your recipe the new default for `Ctrl+V`. Need to go back to normal? Just click "Deactivate." You are always in control.
The next time you press `Ctrl+V`, CustomPaste instantly applies your rules and pastes a perfectly clean result. It's so fast, it feels like magic.
Create rules for cleaning, formatting, and extraction, and watch Ctrl+V become the smartest key on your keyboard.
We believe clipboard tools should be private and lightweight. CustomPaste runs 100% locally on your Windows machine, using virtually no system resources.
Your text is never sent to our servers. All processing happens on your device.
We don't read, save, or sell anything you copy. We can't see it, period.
The app works perfectly, even without an internet connection.
CustomPaste is built for professionals who are tired of letting the clipboard slow them down.
Problem: Copying sources creates a mess of fonts and sizes.
Agitate: It's a tedious game of "hunt-the-font." One missed format makes the whole document look unprofessional.
Solve: Instantly standardize text while surgically preserving italics and bold.
Problem: You're pasting raw, jumbled data full of duplicates and junk.
Agitate: Your momentum is dead. That "quick insight" just became a 30-minute chore in Excel, killing your train of thought.
Solve: Paste and instantly remove duplicates, sort lists, and strip formatting.
Problem: Inspiration comes from sources with different formatting.
Agitate: Your creative flow evaporates. One pasted quote infects your document, forcing you to battle phantom styles instead of write.
Solve: Enforce font consistency, convert headlines to Title Case, and nuke emojis.
Problem: Copying code brings in “smart quotes” and weird whitespace.
Agitate: The build fails. It’s not your logic. You’re now losing 10 minutes to a SyntaxError from one invisible "smart quote."
Solve: Instantly clean snippets, fix smart quotes, and sort/deduplicate log files.

Hey, I'm Joseph, the developer and one-person team behind CustomPaste. I built this tool for one simple reason: I was personally tired of fighting my clipboard. That "paste and fix" cycle you see on this page? That was my daily frustration while coding and researching.
CustomPaste is my solution. It's the tool I always wanted, and I use it every day. I'm committed to making it the best it can be, and I believe in software that's simple and honest. That's why CustomPaste is a one-time purchase. No subscriptions, no cloud accounts, and no data harvesting.
