Is it possible to PASTE image into Jupyter Notebook?

Question

It is possible to include images in Jupyter notebook with various markup.

But is it possible to AUTOMATE this? I.e. I have image in clipboard, then I just press Ctrl-V and Jupyter server automatically takes this image, creates file in appropriate place and inserts markup for it.

I saw such things in Stackoverflow and JIRA.

Answer 1

Juypter Notebook now supports this natively as of version 5.0.0. You should be able to upgrade Jupyter using pip:

pip install notebook --upgrade 

or conda:

conda upgrade notebook 

then you can simply drag-and-drop images into cells or paste them from your clipboard.

Answer 2

Yes.

1. Click the preferred cell that you want to paste the image into
2. Enter markdown mode by pressing Esc then M
3. Paste using Ctrl + V

Note: As @lextoumbourou suggested, ensure your notebook is up to date. I am using version 7.13.0. I checked version using conda list ipython

Answer 3

Its simple, navigate to Markdown and simply drag and drop your image and hit enter
