Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 57 of the 94 other desktop utilities we grade
ClipClip is a clipboard manager for Windows from Vitzo LLC. It saves the latest 1,000 clips, including text, rich text, HTML, images and files, and lets you pin them, sort them into folders and paste them from a hotkey-driven Paste Menu. Built-in editors, converters and one-click actions change clips in place, and a capture tool takes screenshots and screen recordings. It is free for personal use, with a one-time commercial license for work use.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about ClipClip, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No rating is on record, but there's nothing to set up: no sign-up, and one hotkey opens the Paste Menu to search, preview and paste.

The report card
Best for a Windows clipboard history you can edit
ClipClip is a Windows clipboard manager that keeps your latest 1,000 clips, lets you pin and file them, and pastes them from a hotkey menu, with editors, converters and a screen capture tool included. It's free for personal use, but any work use needs a $49 license per user. It's Windows only, history stops at 1,000 clips, and syncing means connecting your own cloud drive.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Free at home. For work it's $49 once per user, lifetime access, no recurring fees. Pay-once utilities here sit around $15, so $49 is on the dear side of them, but one payment still undercuts two years of any subscription in this category. |
| Free plan and trial | A | The Personal License is the whole app for nothing, with no registration and no credit card, for personal productivity, schoolwork and hobby or side projects. The split is by what you use it for, so only commercial work calls for the paid license. |
| Features | B | It covers clipboard work and adds a capture tool: text, formatted text, HTML, images and files, pinned clips, folders, a searchable Paste Menu, editors, case and Base64 converters, text pulled out of images, translation, plus screenshots and screen recording. |
| Ease of use | B | No rating is on record, but there's nothing to set up: no sign-up, and one hotkey opens the Paste Menu to search, preview and paste. Syncing is the one chore, as it runs through a cloud drive you connect yourself. |
| Platforms and integrations | D | Windows only, a single operating system, and the help center lists other platforms as future plans. It does connect out to Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox for sync and backup, and to Google Translate, DeepL, Bitly, Imgur and Pastebin. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who ClipClip is for
- Fits if you're on Windows and want clipboard history you can edit in place
- Works for personal, school or hobby use, which costs nothing
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you're on a Mac or Linux, as it's Windows only and other platforms are only future plans
- Pricey if a whole team needs it for work, at $49 for every user
- Tight if you keep a lot of clips, since history stops at the latest 1,000 and depends on your device's memory
- Watch out: client, company or any income-earning use needs the paid license, even for one person
- Watch out: syncing and backup only work through a cloud drive you connect yourself
Good to know
Good for
- Windows users who want clipboard history with built-in editing
- Personal, school or hobby use at no cost
- People who also want screenshots and screen recordings in the same app
Worth knowing
- Windows only: the help center describes ClipClip as a Windows desktop application and lists other platforms only as future plans.
- Free use covers personal, school and hobby work; commercial use calls for the $49 per-user license.
- Clipboard history holds up to 1,000 clips, and the site says reaching that depends on the device's memory.
- Syncing and backup across devices are described as working through a connected cloud drive such as Google Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
Nothing ClipClip does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 7 things listed below take a company.
It costs $49, paid once.
What you could not
- A clipboard history running in the background of your computer.
- Capture tools hooked into the operating system.
- Recording the screen with its sound, and somewhere to keep the video.
- A real app for Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive and Dropbox among them.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. ClipClip’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
