Mini Window Upload

TIP

You can use mini window to upload your images in Windows and Linux. MacOS can do it using the top bar (Windows and Linux top bars don't support drag and drop events).

Rectangular mini window in Linux

Round mini window in Windows

  1. You can directly drag and drop images to the mini window for uploading.
  2. Copy the image to the clipboard, then right click on the mini window and select clipboard image upload ( You are not allowed to copy the image itself in systems other than macOS, e.g. Windows must open the image and copy by right-clicking. In the normal case, you want to directly upload your image once you have a snipshot. That is the rationality of this design. ）
