Fixing image paste issues in Claude Code via WSL

Claude News

Users of Claude Code in WSL environments can't paste images with Ctrl+V. The problem stems from three factors: WSLg converts images to the outdated BMP format, which Claude Code can't read; WSLg automatically overwrites the clipboard; and Windows Terminal intercepts the Ctrl+V shortcut before it reaches the app.

A developer created the wsl-clip-bridge utility to resolve these issues. It converts images to PNG, forces Linux clipboard updates, and uses the Alt+V shortcut to bypass terminal limitations. Installation instructions and source code are available in the rajveerb/wsl-clip-bridge repository.
