This simple clipboard program captures files copied to the Windows Clipboard but doesn't offer an extensive feature set compared to others in the category. ClipX offers a simple right-click menu for accessing copied items and configuring the program, while a left-click displays recently copied items. Under Configuration, you can specify how many clips the program retains and whether it should ignore text or bitmap files. Default hot keys let you pull up the list of clips, search ClipX's simple manager for a specific clip, or launch an online search for an item, but it doesn't offer hot keys for individual clips or support drag and drop for easily inserting clips. The program doesn't retain text formatting but it does work with image files. You also can save a set of clips and reload them as needed. ClipX is fairly easy to use and it's offered free of charge, but it doesn't offer the clip-management features found in similar applications.

"Just what I wanted!"

megaquark November 21, 2015 / Version: ClipX 1.3.8

2015-11-21 18:26:13 | By megaquark

Pros

I spend a lot of time copying and pasting from one document or app to another an this saves me a LOT of time. Lots of customization such as being able to remember 1-1024 clipboard entries, purging of images between sessions, carrying clipboards between sessions, customization of multple hotkeys, etc.

Cons

There's a section for plugins but no indication of what they are, what they do, or where to get them.

Summary

Simple, clean, and right to the point. No messing about with memory hogging animations and such. Just the way I like it.

"Far to basic."

Pros

Accurately retains captured clips

Cons

There is no attempt to organize clips for future use. It's just a list!

"Not work on the basic"

xililili March 20, 2012 / Version: ClipX 1.3.8

2012-03-20 17:35:11 | By xililili

Pros

light software

Cons

It s an applicattion very old. We need a useful update of this. Very good idea, but have failures very basics. It not remembered the hot keys that you want when reboot windows (sometimes), and the plugin not working when you rebbot the computer sometimes. I need this plugin to uses a list of texts to paste sometimes. Very light software, but in basic things is off. I have to look for other thing

"An outstanding utility, but still not ready for Win7"

Thor33433 October 05, 2011 / Version: ClipX 1.3.8

2011-10-05 03:30:49 | By Thor33433

Pros

Crisp, unobtrusive performance. Easy access to clipboard when you need it -- otherwise, invisible.

Cons

Running under Windows 7, I find that ClipX often needs to be restarted. When I call up the clipboard display, sometimes it won't close, or leaves an empty white rectangle that remains until I reboot.

Summary

An excellent utility that needs to work better with Windows 7.

"Perfect and easy, but don't use it with Solidworks"

fmeijer January 10, 2011 / Version: ClipX 1.3.8

2011-01-10 03:51:20 | By fmeijer

Pros

Very easy to use program. Does exactly what you expect of it.

Cons

After installing Clipx, Solidworks became instable. I've tried it on a 32 bit and a 64 bit workstation. On both systems Solidworks crashes after installing Clipx. After removing Clipx, Solidworks became stable again.

"Works as advertized but is awkward"

tcosy January 04, 2011 / Version: ClipX 1.3.8

2011-01-04 06:05:52 | By tcosy

Pros

It does screen shots which is what i want

Cons

If you want to delete a clip, you have to right click and choose "mamage". You then get a window which lists your clips and alows you to delete them. The problem is that you cant see your clips - just a note that says Bitmap and a size!
