This is an example of how to handle images or text copied in to a browser page.

With the following HTML - with placeholders for pasted images and a “Clear images” button:

<button type="button" class="buttonesque clear-logs">Clear images</button>
<p
        contenteditable="true"
        onpaste="console.log('something was pasted')"
        style="border-radius: 3px; border: 2px solid #222; padding: 6px; margin: 3px;"
>Try to paste one or more images or some text into this paragraph.</p>
<p><strong id="log-name"></strong></p>
<ul id="log-box"> </ul>
<button type="button" class="buttonesque clear-logs">Clear images</button>

and some accompanying Javascript:

<script>
    window.addEventListener('load', e => {
    document.body.addEventListener('paste', e => {
        e.preventDefault()
        const items = e.clipboardData.items
        console.log(87, items, items.length)
        for (let i = 0; i < items.length; ++i) {
            console.log(70, i, items[i].type, items[i].kind)
            items[i].getAsString(s => console.log(71, s))
            if (    items[i].kind == 'file'
                &&  items[i].type.indexOf('image/') !== -1
            ) {
                const blob = items[i].getAsFile()
                window.URL = window.URL || window.webkitURL
                const blobUrl = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob)
                const img = document.createElement('img')
                img.src = blobUrl
                const logBox = document.getElementById('log-box')
                logBox.appendChild(img)
            }
        }
    })
    const btnArr = document.querySelectorAll('.clear-logs')
    Array.from(btnArr).map(e => e.addEventListener('click', e => clearLog()))
})

    function clearLog() {
    const node = document.getElementById('log-box')
    while (node.firstChild) {
    node.removeChild(node.firstChild)
}
}
</script>

An event listener on document.body handles a paste event and appends to the <ul> tag any images (files) pasted in to the <p contenteditable="true"> tag.

Demo:

Try to paste one or more images or some text into this paragraph.
