Paste artwork into ArtDrop

Copy an image and paste it into ArtDrop to start a drop, using the same store and product settings as a file upload.

Before you begin

  • Check the destination in Drop Zone before pasting.
  • Keep the original artwork file for printing at full resolution.

How it works

Pasting starts an upload immediately. ArtDrop uses the image placed on your clipboard and your selected store settings.

Steps

  1. Copy the image

    Copy artwork from an image editor or another app.

  2. Move out of text fields

    Click outside any text field so the paste goes to ArtDrop’s image upload.

  3. Paste

    Press Command+V on Mac or Ctrl+V on Windows and Linux.

  4. Follow the drop

    Wait for the upload result, then follow the artwork in Live Log.

Expected result

Your pasted artwork starts a drop with the selected store and saved products.

// From clipboard to product
Copy, paste, and create.
Check the destination, paste your artwork, and follow the drop. Use the original file when you need its full resolution.

Good to know

  • Use PNG, JPG, JPEG, TIF, or TIFF artwork. If the pasted format is unsupported, upload the original file instead.
  • Some apps reduce resolution or flatten transparency when copying. Upload the original for the best print quality.
  • ArtDrop retries temporary upload failures automatically. Check the final result before starting another upload.

Troubleshooting

  • Nothing happened? Move focus outside text fields and paste again.
  • The image looks soft? Upload the original file instead of the clipboard image.
  • An upload timed out? Check for the artwork in ArtDrop and your provider before repeating it.

How to undo or clean up

Manage accepted artwork with the available batch controls. Remove products already created in the store or print provider.
