Text Copier

Select text — it's already copied

Text Copier is a free Chrome extension that copies text to the clipboard as soon as you select it with the mouse, so you do not need Ctrl+C or the right-click menu. Select, then paste wherever you need it. It works on regular web pages, in 52 languages, and does not collect what you copy.

  • Researchers and students collecting quotes and references.
  • Support and sales copying order numbers and e-mail addresses.
  • Developers grabbing IDs and error messages from web consoles.

Frequently asked questions

What does Text Copier do?

It copies the text you select on a web page automatically, the way many Linux desktops copy a selection.

Is Text Copier free?

Yes, it is free.

Does it keep a history of what I copy?

No. It copies the current selection only. For a searchable history of everything you copy, use Clipboard Tool; the two work well together.

Does it work with the keyboard?

It reacts to selections made with the mouse. Keyboard selection and shortcuts are not supported.

Does it work on pages that block copying?

No. For those, use Highlight and Copy Protected Text.
