Saving

Save files from ChatGPT or Claude

Clipboard can store actual file bytes with a Clip when the AI host supports transferring the file, not merely linking to it.

What you can upload

  • Up to 10 files can be attached to one Clip.
  • Each file must be between 1 byte and 25 MB.
  • A Clip can contain files only, or files together with a note or saved conversation.
  • Common documents, images, PDFs, text files, and spreadsheets can be downloaded later; supported types can also be previewed.

Ask the AI to save files

  1. Make sure the files are available in the current ChatGPT or Claude conversation.
  2. Ask the AI to save the named files to Clipboard and state whether to include surrounding text or the full conversation.
  3. Keep the conversation open while the host transfers each file. Clipboard verifies the uploaded size and checksum before marking it ready.
  4. Open the finished Clip and confirm that every file appears as Ready with a Download action.
Try saying

Save the final brief and the attached spreadsheet to Clipboard as “Acme Q4 planning files.”

If an upload does not finish

  • A preparation message alone does not mean the files were saved; wait for the final success confirmation.
  • If a file remains unavailable, retry from the original conversation while the file is still accessible to the AI host.
  • Split the upload into more than one Clip if you exceed 10 files or the per-file size limit.
  • Do not share the Clip until the files you expect are shown as ready.
