Transform

Transform is advanced feature that allows you to change a newly added clips or when copy pasting.

You can define when to apply the transform

• On newly added clips
• When copy pasting the clip content.

Predefined transforms

• Uppercase
• Lowercase
• Capitalize words
• Trim trailing whitespaces
• Trim trailing newlines
• Remove empty lines
• Remove extra whitespaces
• Remove trackings in URL
• Remove tabs
• Make bullet list

Custom Transform

PastePal lets you define custom text transformations using JavaScript.

Each transform is a small script that operates on the clipboard content. You define a function named transform, which receives a clip object. This object has a text property containing the clipboard string.

Your function should return a modified version of clip.text. This lets you create powerful automations — like cleaning up whitespace, reformatting code, or adding custom patterns.

Example

function transform(clip) {
    return clip.text.replace(/\t/g, ''); // removes all tab characters
}

You can use any standard JavaScript string methods to transform it:

• replace() remove or modify patterns
• trim() clean leading/trailing whitespace
• toUpperCase() / toLowerCase() adjust casing
• split() / join() restructure lines or content
