Abstract: Pasting images is basically supported by any major browser. But there are several difficulties to provide a cross-browser solution. This article covers, how to paste images into the different browsers.
Paste images
If speaking about pasting images, it is important to consider the source where the image was copied. Basically, copying images from an application is possible (for details see Section Applications). It seems like these applications are simply storing the image data in the clipboard which can be accessed by the paste events of the browser.
Pasting images from a folder of the operating system does not work on any tested environment. Whereas OS X does provide the filename and a dummy picture, the clipboard of all browsers on Windows Systems remains empty.
Support
