What is missing to Pro?

Essence:

Everyone prefer the Pro version. There are many bugs in free version. Most annoying not-have feature or bug is that the name of the image can’t be changed.

User’s Feedback:

problems:

• Image Elevator has bugs, e.g. interaction of JavaScripts with ARVE.
• Image Elevator has problems with SEO

User feedback’s (source?, you have to learn how to copy paste: never without source):

It didn’t load the images natively to the new website after copying and still referenced an OLD expired website.

Feedback on wordpress.org

Image Elavator Pro is not part of wordpress.org repo. Only the free version is part of the repo.

Clipboard Images

User’s Feedback :

Works absolutely perfectly for me in a WP network of sites. When you copy an image and then paste it in a comment you have to be patient and wait until the image uploads and a link appears in the comment box. It may look like it isn’t working because if the image is large it does take some time for the text to appear in the box. Once you post the comment, you will then find the image in the Media library.

Essence:

There is no recommendation for another tool, all feedback’s are good, it seems this tool is good.

Feedback on wordpress.org

It is not updated since 2 years. No any support tickets. All bad indicators.

Manual Method from Stack Exchange

How to copy and paste a picture found on the web to wordpress easily

1. Copy the picture with Ctrl-C (keyboard) or Right-click|Copy (mouse)
2. To edit the picture first:
   • paste it into a simple photo editor (my favourite is PhotoFiltre; GIMP is too complicated for simple tasks like this). To paste an image, type Ctrl-Shift-V (keyboard) or in the menu click Edit|Paste as new image (mouse).
   • Edit the picture as desired. You do not need to save the image.
   • Copy the new edited image: Ctrl-A to select all and then Ctrl-C to copy (keyboard) or Select|Select all and then Edit|Copy (mouse).
   • In the edit post/page window in WordPress, paste the image directly in Visual view: Ctrl-V.

Evaluation:

Two problems with this method:

1. It will not save the image to the media library. It is for quick-and-dirty image posting only.
2. The background HTML code for images pasted directly into WordPress is hideous. For cleaner HTML, install the Save Data:URL images plugin, which saves the image to your media folder (but still doesn’t actually add it to the Media Library, as of version 0.1).

Embed Image Links

Embed Image Links on WordPress.org

Evaluation/problems:

It is not something, which is useful in our case. We need a plugin which use the clipboard, this plugin converts links to images.

Feedback on wordpress.org

A few support tickets. Bad indicators.

OnPaste

Not available source of the plugin

Evaluation/problems

It is not part of WordPress.org anymore.

Feedback on wordpress.org

No wordpress.org page

PicturePaste

Short Description (max 100 words)

PicturePaste

PicturePaste is a desktop utility that integrates the Windows desktop clipboard with cloud-based editors, such as Gmail, Google Docs and just about all web-based editors. With PicturePaste installed you can copy any picture, graphic, screen capture or photo from any desktop application, such as Word, Adobe reader, or Photoshop, and paste this directly into any cloud-based editor, such as Gmail, Google Docs editor, WordPress or others.

Evaluation:

No longer supported, so it is not good to use code, which is not updated.
