The Windows clipboard is a technology where applications can store a single piece of information in different formats. For example a single picture can be stored in the formats PNG, BMP and GIF. If the content is pasted (CTRL + v), the current active Window has to process the key stroke, looks at the clipboard an takes the format it knows from it.
Greenshot supports the following formats:
- DIB (Bitmap stored as BMP, removed the first 14 bytes) - Greenshot 1.2 This format causes issues with Windows 11 when Docker is running, or VirtualBox. It doesn't support transparency.
