Paste, drop, or browse images into Design Studio

Design Studio accepts images from anywhere — your desktop, the web, your clipboard, or a screenshot you just took. Three ways to get a picture onto the canvas, all of which save the image into your asset library so you can reuse it.

1. Paste from clipboard (Cmd/Ctrl+V):
Take a screenshot, copy an image from a website, or copy from another app — then paste anywhere on the Design Studio page (not inside an input box). The first image lands on the canvas immediately via a blob URL so you see it instantly; in the background, Turtini uploads it to your asset library and reconciles by filename.

Works for:
• macOS Cmd+Shift+4 screenshots (PNG)
• Windows Snipping Tool / Win+Shift+S screenshots
• "Copy image" from a webpage in Chrome / Safari / Firefox (PNG, JPEG, WEBP)
• Copy from another app (Photos, Preview, Figma, etc.)

2. Drop from Finder / desktop:
Drag any image file from your Mac Finder, Windows Explorer, or another browser tab onto the canvas. The image lands at the drop point. Multi-image drops are supported — the first lands on the canvas, the rest flow into the asset library.

3. Click "Drop image or browse" in the left toolbar:
Opens the native file picker. You can select multiple images at once. They all flow into the asset library; click any thumbnail to add it to the canvas.

Supported formats:
PNG, JPEG, WEBP, GIF, SVG, AVIF, HEIC, HEIF. Modern formats from any device or platform — including the WEBP screenshots Chrome and Safari produce.

Where images are saved:
Every paste/drop/browse upload writes into the asset library (orgs/{orgId}/designAssets). The library sidebar groups them as "Uploaded" and they're reusable across every design in your org. Generated images (from Wally) appear in the "AI generated" group at the top.

Moderation:
All uploaded images run through SafeSearch before they appear publicly on a Builder page. Pending or rejected images don't appear in the library until cleared.

Tips:
• Screenshots from Chrome and Safari often save as WEBP. They paste and drop cleanly today — no need to convert to PNG first.
• Pasting works as long as your cursor isn't inside a text input or content-editable element. Click the canvas (or the empty space around it) once before Cmd/Ctrl+V if pasting silently fails.
• If you paste while editing a text element, the paste lands in the text — click outside the text first.
