To paste the same screen capture into several Kendo UI for jQuery Editors, get each Editor widget instance and call its paste(html, options) method with HTML that contains a usable image URL. If the content comes from the browser clipboard instead, handle each editor’s paste event, inspect or change e.html, and then let Kendo insert the result. These are application-level patterns; Kendo does not provide a special “paste to multiple editors” command.

Choose the insertion path

The right approach depends on where the capture originates and whether you already have durable image storage.

Situation Use What you control
Your application has prepared HTML and an image URL Call editor.paste(html, options) on every target instance Target editors, HTML, insertion options and ordering
A user pastes from the operating-system clipboard Handle the Editor paste event Clipboard HTML before Kendo inserts it
The image must remain after saving Add a separate upload/storage workflow, then paste the stored URL File transfer, authentication, retention and URL accessibility

Clipboard processing happens in the browser before Kendo’s cleanup. Therefore, a cleanup callback cannot recover image bytes that the browser never exposed as a portable source.

Prepare a reliable screenshot source

Use a URL your editors can load

For repeatable insertion, upload the capture (or otherwise store it) and use an HTTPS or application-relative URL that every viewer is authorized to request. Include meaningful alternative text in the generated img element.

const imageUrl = "/media/captures/checkout-error-2026-09-29.png";
const html = `<p><img src="${imageUrl}" alt="Checkout error screen capture"></p>`;

The URL above is only an example. Your application must create the file and decide how it is authenticated and retained. Kendo’s paste and cleanup APIs transform HTML; they do not, by themselves, upload image bytes or create durable storage.

Be cautious with clipboard-local images

When content is copied from Microsoft Word, the browser can produce an image source that points to a clipboard-local file. A single Word image may be converted to a base64 source by default, while multiple images can retain URLs pointing to a physical folder. Telerik recommends pasting text or one image separately in that Word scenario. This warning is specific to Word copy/paste; it is not a guarantee about every browser, capture utility or screenshot format.

Paste prepared HTML into several editors

Initialize the widgets, retain their instances, and invoke the method once per target. Calling the method on one instance does not affect any other Editor.

$(function () {
  $("#editorA, #editorB, #editorC").kendoEditor({
    tools: ["bold", "italic", "insertImage", "viewHtml"]
  });

  const html = '<p><img src="/media/captures/checkout-error-2026-09-29.png" alt="Checkout error screen capture"></p>';
  const targets = ["#editorA", "#editorB", "#editorC"];

  targets.forEach(function (selector) {
    const editor = $(selector).data("kendoEditor");
    if (!editor) {
      throw new Error("Kendo Editor is not initialized: " + selector);
    }
    editor.paste(html, { split: true });
  });
});

split controls whether surrounding formatting is split before insertion and defaults to true. Pass { split: false } when your layout requires insertion without splitting the current block.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Insert at a user-selected position

An Editor must have a valid selection or caret when you call paste. If you trigger a multi-editor operation from a toolbar outside the Editors, save or restore each editor’s selection according to your application’s UX, or insert at a known location such as the end of the document. Test focus transitions because changing focus can change the active range.

Generate content once, then reuse it

Constructing the HTML once ensures every target receives the same alt text and source. If each editor needs different captions or permissions, create a separate string per instance rather than mutating one DOM node and moving it between documents.

Inspect or modify native clipboard paste

The Kendo paste event fires before insertion and exposes the pending HTML as e.html. Attach a handler during initialization, inspect the value, and replace it when your policy requires a change.

function normalizeCaptureHtml(e) {
  // e.html is the HTML Kendo is about to insert.
  if (!e.html) return;

  // Example: add a class to images without changing their source.
  e.html = e.html.replace(
    /<img(?![^>]*bclass=)/gi,
    '<img class="pasted-capture"'
  );
}

$("#editorA, #editorB").kendoEditor({
  paste: normalizeCaptureHtml
});

Use this event for validation, normalization or rejection. If you need to reject a paste, apply the event-cancellation behavior supported by your Kendo version and verify it in the browsers you support; do not assume that changing e.html uploads or persists an image.

Fan one clipboard paste out to multiple instances

If a user pastes into one “source” Editor and your product should copy the same content to others, process the source event and explicitly paste the resulting HTML into the other instances. Guard against recursion by marking the programmatic operation.

let distributing = false;
const selectors = ["#editorA", "#editorB", "#editorC"];

function distributePaste(e) {
  if (distributing || !e.html) return;

  const source = e.sender.element[0];
  const html = e.html;
  distributing = true;
  try {
    selectors.forEach(function (selector) {
      const element = $(selector)[0];
      if (element !== source) {
        const target = $(element).data("kendoEditor");
        if (target) target.paste(html, { split: true });
      }
    });
  } finally {
    distributing = false;
  }
}

$("#editorA, #editorB, #editorC").kendoEditor({
  paste: distributePaste
});

This pattern intentionally treats each Editor as a separate instance. Decide whether the original paste should remain in the source Editor; the example leaves Kendo’s normal insertion in place and distributes copies to the others.

Use paste cleanup without destroying the image

Kendo’s cleanup settings can transform incoming HTML. Select the narrowest option that meets your policy:

Cleanup option Effect Risk for screenshots
all Strips HTML to plain text Removes the img element
keepNewLines Strips tags while retaining line breaks Removes the image element
css Removes style and class attributes Image remains, but presentation classes/styles are lost
span Removes span elements Usually safe for an image, but surrounding formatting can change
Word-specific cleanup Removes Word markup and can convert Word lists Verify image sources, especially with multiple Word images
custom Runs your HTML callback Your code decides what is retained or removed

Do not choose broad stripping when the capture itself must remain. Configure cleanup during Editor initialization and test it with the actual clipboard payloads your users produce.

Persist captures instead of relying on pasted markup

  1. Receive the screenshot through your supported upload or capture path.
  2. Validate type, size and dimensions on the server as well as in the browser.
  3. Store the file in a location whose access rules match the Editors’ readers.
  4. Return a stable URL (or a controlled, expiring URL if that is intentional).
  5. Build the img HTML with an alt description and call paste on each target.
  6. Save the Editor HTML and later reload it in a session that can still fetch the image.

Base64 can make a self-contained fragment, but it increases document size and may conflict with your content-security or storage policy. Choose it only after measuring the resulting HTML and enforcing size limits.

Or skip the browser setup

ScreenshotNeo returns a website screenshot from one GET request, so your server can obtain the image before constructing the Kendo HTML. It removes cookie/consent banners, newsletter popups and chat widgets before capture; bot checks, blank pages and failed loads are not billed. Its response identifies the result with X-Page-Verdict and X-Billed headers.

The API supports PNG, JPEG or WebP output. This cURL example captures a page as WebP; replace the URL with the page you need.

Troubleshoot common failures

The image appears in one Editor but not another

Confirm that you retrieved each instance with .data("kendoEditor") after initialization. Check that the target has not been destroyed or replaced by a partial-page update, and inspect the final HTML for a valid src.

The paste is plain text

An all or keepNewLines cleanup rule may be stripping tags. Remove that rule or use a custom cleanup callback that preserves img elements.

The image icon is broken after a Word paste

Inspect the source. If it points to a clipboard-local or physical-folder path, the browser cannot fetch it later. Paste one image separately as Telerik recommends, or upload the image and replace the source with your stored URL.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Formatting changes around the insertion

Try the explicit split value in paste(html, options). Also check whether css or span cleanup removed classes that your stylesheet requires.

Large captures make saving slow

Resize or compress before storage, enforce byte and pixel limits, and avoid duplicating base64 data in several Editor documents. Store one image and reference it by URL.

The operation loops or duplicates content

A paste handler that calls paste on Editors with the same handler can re-enter itself. Use a guard such as distributing in the example and clear it in a finally block.

Production checklist

  • Initialize every Editor before retrieving its instance.
  • Keep a durable, authorized image URL; do not depend on clipboard-local paths.
  • Use paste(html, options) for application-prepared content and the paste event for clipboard inspection.
  • Choose cleanup narrowly so required image and formatting markup survives.
  • Prevent recursive distribution when one paste fans out to multiple Editors.
  • Test Chrome, Firefox, Safari, your supported Word versions and the capture tools used by your customers.
  • Verify content-security policy, authentication, image expiry and server-side validation.

FAQ

Can one Kendo Editor instance be shared by several text areas?

No. Each initialized element has its own widget instance; retrieve and address them separately.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Does paste automatically upload a screenshot?

No. It inserts or transforms HTML. Upload and persistence must be implemented by your application.

Can I paste a PDF into the Editor?

The documented method inserts HTML. Convert a PDF page to an image or link to the PDF through a separate application workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the split option do?

It controls whether surrounding formatting is split before insertion; the documented default is true.

Why should I test multiple browsers?

Clipboard HTML is processed by the browser before Kendo cleanup, so image sources and markup can differ by browser and source application.
