Instagram makes it easy to view photos, but copying an image for a presentation, mood board, or quick share means taking a screenshot or opening the image in a new tab and saving it. This Drop in adds a copy button directly to images so you can copy them to your clipboard in one click.
The button appears when you hover over or interact with an image, and clicking it copies the full-quality image to your system clipboard. From there, you can paste it into Figma, Slack, email, or any other app without extra steps.
Useful when you are building creative references, sharing inspiration with teammates, or just want to save something without cluttering your downloads folder. The workflow feels native and saves you from right-click menus and unnecessary file management.
