How To Copy And Paste Pictures On Android?

We all love taking pictures, but some times you wish there was a way to back them up. I know our phones have SD cards and cloud storage, but what if you don’t want to tie your photos to a particular service? What if you just want them copied directly to your computer? There are a couple of different ways you can go about this, which I will cover here...

With androids, copy and paste texts is a prevalent task. But doing the same with pictures is not very familiar. In fact, many of us even don’t know we can do this on android, just like Pc or iOS devices.

However, we generally select any image from the gallery and then upload it on any other app. But here we are going to review some processes below on how you can literally copy any picture from your android and paste it somewhere else directly.
