Notebooks - Pasting images from clipboard

rs-tcs — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 13:22:34 GMT

Hello, I am new to this community.

I really miss the Jypyter-style feature to copy paste images from the clipboard into the markdown cells as I am work on a notebook. As you might know, when an image is pasted from clipboard, first that gets converted into base64 encoded string and then added to the markdown.

As of now, in the Notebooks, the image embed is limited to referring a link. It would be good if this feature was implemented in for the markdown cells.

Thanks! 🙂

Hello @rs-tcs!

Thanks for sharing your feedback.
Yes, direct pasting from the clipboard isn’t supported at the moment. Right now, Databricks Notebooks support adding images in markdown by linking to a file/URL or by dragging and dropping an image from your system to the markdown cell.
