Your text, your action

A transfer starts only when you choose Send, Share or the keyboard shortcut. These modules do not start printing automatically.

Choose your add-on

Browser extension 1.1.0

Browser extension

Select text, right-click and choose Send to pasteToPrint. A new tab opens with cleaned plain text in a separate draft.

Chrome 112 or newer, compatible Edge, and Firefox 140 or newer on desktop. Some browser-owned pages and document viewers restrict extensions.

Permissions: context menu and temporary session storage. Scripts also run on pasteToPrint and the supported ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Copilot sites to provide response buttons. The selection menu does not require access to every website.

Installation guide
Windows · 1.8.0

Windows application

Copy text with Ctrl + C, then press Ctrl + Alt + P. A small app by the clock opens a separate pasteToPrint window with the text ready to review and print.

Windows 10/11 x64, .NET Framework 4.8 and Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime. An internet connection is needed to load the editor. No browser extension is required.

The helper reads the clipboard only after your shortcut, Send action or double-click on its tray icon. It does not monitor clipboard history. Starting with Windows is optional and off by default.

Installation guide
Windows Share · PWA

Windows Share

In an app that can share text, choose Share, then pasteToPrint. The installed web app opens a new draft. Availability depends on the source app and Windows registration.

Requires the updated pasteToPrint web app installed through Microsoft Edge. Installing the keyboard helper alone does not register the Share target.

Installation guide
Plain text, with clear limits

Selections, clipboard input and shared text are limited to 500,000 source characters; the editor also applies document-size limits. Over-limit input is rejected, never shortened silently. Images and source formatting are not transferred by these text modules. Line endings and excessive blank space are cleaned; Unicode and internal code indentation are retained.

Install in a few clear steps

Download the correct ZIP and extract the complete archive first. Save important documents before updating or removing an app.

Chrome / Edge

  1. Download and extract the Chrome / Edge ZIP into a folder you will keep.
  2. Open chrome://extensions in Chrome or edge://extensions in Edge. Turn on Developer mode.
  3. Choose Load unpacked and select the extracted folder containing manifest.json. Select text on a normal web page, right-click and choose Send to pasteToPrint.

Firefox

  1. Download and extract the Firefox ZIP. Open about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox in Firefox.
  2. Choose Load Temporary Add-on and select manifest.json in the extracted folder.
  3. Select text, right-click and choose Send to pasteToPrint. This developer installation lasts only until Firefox restarts; permanent installation will require a signed release.

Install the Windows application

  1. Download and run Setup.exe for Windows 10/11 x64. It checks .NET Framework 4.8 and WebView2 Runtime. Use the Microsoft links for missing components; their installation may require administrator permission.
  2. Choose your optional desktop shortcut and startup settings, then select Install and Finish. The wizard supports Slovak and English. pasteToPrint installs for your Windows account. On first launch, stay connected until Offline: ready appears.
  3. Copy text with Ctrl + C and press Ctrl + Alt + P. If that shortcut is already used, choose Send copied text from the pasteToPrint tray menu. Starting with Windows can be enabled in that menu.

Windows Share

  1. Open pasteToPrint in Microsoft Edge while online, then use the browser's Install app option.
  2. Open the installed app to receive updates. If Share is missing, update or reinstall the web app so Windows registers its Share target.
  3. In a source app that supports sharing text, choose Share → pasteToPrint. Review the prepared document and press Print. A missing option can mean the source app does not share text.

Update or remove

Update browser extensions as described in their guides. To update Windows, quit pasteToPrint through its tray menu and run the new Setup.exe. Remove it in Windows Settings > Apps or through its Start menu uninstall shortcut. Saved documents, the offline editor and activation remain in the local profile. The alternative ZIP includes Install.cmd and Uninstall.cmd, which open the setup/removal wizard. Removing the PWA or clearing its site data are separate actions.

Windows application updates

The tray menu offers Check for updates. Automatic checking runs once a day while the app is running; you can turn it off. Choose Download update, then Save and open Setup. Open documents are checked for saving before the app exits. Finish the installer to reopen the editor. Documents, the offline editor and activation are preserved. Without internet you can continue using the prepared offline editor.

Update checks request the release list from pasteToPrint without cookies, account details, installation identifier, document or clipboard content. The server receives ordinary connection data such as your IP address. The release list signature and file checksum protect the download; publisher verification is a separate check.

How each module handles text

Browser extension

Browser extension: the clicked selection is held in browser session storage and bound to its destination tab. It is delivered locally to the editor using extension messages. Pending data is removed after acknowledgement or closing the tab; unused transfers expire after five minutes and are removed on retrieval, a new transfer or browser startup. Session storage is cleared when the browser session ends.

Windows keyboard helper

Keyboard helper: the copied text is held in process memory and delivered locally through WebView2 messages to the exact pasteToPrint address. The reference is discarded after acknowledgement or closing the window. It is not written to a transfer file or placed in a command line or URL. Ordinary saved drafts remain in the helper's separate local web profile.

Windows Share

Windows Share: the installed app's active service worker handles the share locally and holds the text in temporary IndexedDB storage. Acknowledgement or cancellation deletes the transfer. Unused transfers expire after five minutes and are removed on a new transfer or retrieval. At most 20 pending shares are kept; new shares are refused when full.

Your text, your action

The editor escapes incoming text and inserts automatically only into an empty, editable, isolated draft. Existing content uses the import preview. You can undo an automatic import. Clear browser or WebView2 site data to remove local drafts; export anything you need first.

Loading the website still makes normal network requests, including technical connection data. The text-transfer routes do not upload document content to a content API or add it to a URL. Cloud saving, AI, email and other connected editor features have their own processing rules when you choose them. The main privacy notice explains those features and website storage, analytics and cookie choices.

Before you install

Does it work on every page or in every Windows app?

No. Browser-owned pages and viewers may restrict extensions. Windows Share requires a source app that shares text. The keyboard helper works with text copied to the Windows clipboard, subject to operating-system restrictions.

Are the add-ons already available in the stores?

No. This page offers developer preview packages with manual installation. Store links will be added after the relevant release is published. Do not confuse a successful package validation with store approval.

Can I use the editor without installing anything?

Yes. Open the web editor and paste your text. Add-ons are optional shortcuts, and printing always remains your action.
