Hello Adam :wave:

If you’re specifically talking about Google Docs, it’s not possible to our knowledge since their change:

I don’t know if it would be possible for Discourse to be able to paste Base64 images as regular images in a post. That could be worth a post on feature I guess.

As a practical example, if we have a Google Doc (Test Discourse base64 image - Google Docs) and we copy all of it, here’s the Windows 11 clipboard content according to Clipview (Windows clipboard raw viewer)
