Frequently asked questions
- How do I clear my clipboard?
- Click the "Clear clipboard" button. We write an empty string to your clipboard, erasing whatever was there.
- Why would I clear my clipboard?
- After copying a password, API key, credit card number or any sensitive data, clearing the clipboard prevents accidental pastes into the wrong window or app.
- Does it really delete the clipboard contents?
- We overwrite the clipboard with an empty string (or your custom text) using the Clipboard API. The previous content is replaced in memory.
- Can I replace the clipboard with custom text?
- Yes — type any replacement text and click Replace. Useful for replacing sensitive data with a placeholder.
- Does this tool read my clipboard?
- Only if you click "Show current clipboard" — and even then, the content is displayed locally and never sent anywhere.
- Is the clipboard cleaner free?
- Yes — free, no signup, no extension, runs 100% in your browser.
- Does it work on all browsers?
- It works on Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. Some browsers require a user gesture (click) before granting clipboard access, which this tool handles automatically.
- Does it work on mobile?
- Yes — the Clipboard API works on mobile browsers too. Tap the button to clear.
- Is my clipboard data sent anywhere?
- No — the tool runs entirely in your browser. Your clipboard contents are never uploaded or logged.
- Can I use a keyboard shortcut?
- Not yet — the tool requires a button click because the Clipboard API needs a user-initiated event for security.
