How much data can the Clipboard store?
The amount of data that the clipboard can store depends on the amount of physical memory (RAM) and virtual memory configured (paging file) in the computer. The more memory your computer has, the more data you can copy to the clipboard.
Only copied text and images are stored in the clipboard. If you copy a file, only information about the file is stored, not the file itself. For this reason, you rarely need to increase the amount of data the clipboard can store. However, if you are working with large images or raw images, you may encounter a situation where more memory is needed to allow the clipboard to store image data.
