You can drag & drop the screenshot to the field.

Or use your Snip tool…automatically copies the shot, then ctrl+v into Airtable then spacebar…seamless…I use it daily.

What you mean? I can’t paste copying the file, nor copying the content of the image.

Not exactly what you’re looking for, but if you have an image copied to the clipboard, and you:

1. Hit enter on the attachment field to expand the upload dialog

2. Click once in the large, gray center field (yes, this is necessary - just click there - nothing will happen, but if you don’t click there, step 3 will not work — not sure why, just a strange Airtable quirk)

3. Paste (cmd+v) your clipboard contents

4. Press space to upload

This is a pretty quick workflow, which I think is what @Brandon_Sturgill was referring to, to get copied images into attachment fields.

You missed this step :grinning_face_with_sweat:

All clear now.

Elias, thank you! I had tried this (without clicking in the gray window) and thought I was going to have to live without this fabulous feature. I never would have figured out that I needed to click in the window first.

Not at all, @Jeremy_Oglesby was the explainer! :grinning_face_with_sweat:

Thanks to all. One clarification is that when you expand the window–it has a large area defined by a dashed line in the center for uploading a saved file on “My Device.” This area takes up most of the window. Clicking in that area will bring up the explorer window for selecting a saved file. Clicking at the top of the window, and outside the dashed area is the “click in the window first” step everyone is talking about. After that is done, one can proceed with the cntrl - v part. It took me a few tries to figure that one out; so maybe someone else had the same issue.

Thanks, but nothing seems to work for me in Mac App. Ctrl + V not at all working, regardless where I click :frowning: It does work on webapp, but not on Mac App.

Thanks for the refined tip, Markus. Made all the difference for me. Pasting a screenshot into an Airtable attachment field now works on my Mac.

Hi Airtable Team,

Airtable is best to see the same information in multiple views as per different team person. That’s the main point why I always recommended someone to use Airtable.

I’m working with multiples clients and the reason they don’t want to use Airtable is not user-friendly in the case of the part of the image.

It seems uploading images is not a user friendly.

If you check Basecamp they provide a very easy way to upload images in the comment box or in the description field - Simply paste it anywhere.

Why someone needs it? - As if you are pointing something in your message - so it would be helpful to paste a screenshot of it. In the product or software development, this is very important.

Please add that feature as soon as possible.

How to Paste Images form your Clipboard into an Airtable Cell

Date: October 8, 2021

1. Go to Airtable Base

2. Click on an “Attachment” cell Drop files here

That’s the one with the clipboard icon

3. :star2: Click on the TOP of Modal

This is the KEY step. For whatever reason, clicking here allows you to paste.

4. Paste from clipboard

You can just hit Ctrl-V

5. See the Image Pasted, hit Upload

6. Check out your Pasted Image in the Cell

This is nice, but would’ve been much better if you can paste the image when just selecting the field in the table in Step 2. Basically without clicking the plus sign, but just select the field and paste.

This would be more in the spirit of Airtable intuitiveness. :slightly_smiling_face:

I'm amazed this is not implemented.... Asana has it, and it makes the workflow so much easier and faster.
I'm deliberately not using airtable with customers and choosing asana because of this.

Also, add the ability to paste into a comment...
