  • About
  • Adding to Clipboard
  • System Requirements
  • Version Info
  • The Clipboard Image Viewer is Free to use. No ADs, simply free.
  • It simply allows you to view an image from your window's clipboard.
    It will not alter the clipboard image either.
  • You can Pan (move the image around in the window or screen). You can also zoom IN/OUT by rolling the mouse wheel (or scroll with your touchpad). [added keyboard shortcuts in ver 1.0.1.0]
  • Zooming centers over your mouse position.
  • You can copy Maps or Images from your Logos Bible Software app to the clipboard and then use this program to zoom IN on that map or image.
  • You can open as many instances of CIV as you wish. This allows you to view different maps side-by-side.
  • CIV keeps up to the last 6 clipboard images that you have copied into CIV. This allows you to switch between previous clipboard images that were opened in an instance of CIV.


This tab tells you ways to add an Image or Map to the clipboard from your Logos Bible Software. Once in the clipboard you can use CIV to view your image/map. There are 3 methods mentioned here, but there may be others as well that are not mentioned. Below is a chart showing image resolutions for each method. The higher the resolution better your image in CIV will look when zoomed.
[hint: all image below can be clicked and your browser will show you a larger view of the image]

Below are images shown in CIV with images set to actual size (no zooming). Image A used Method 1 and image B used Method 3. This shows the difference when getting higher resolution images into your clipboard and pasting them into CIV.

So when you do zoom in CIV, higher-res will allow you to zoom more with less pixelation! This can come in handy when you want to take a screenshot of a portion of a map for pasting into a PowerPoint or another document.


(Method 1) Right-click Copy Image to Clipboard

  1. Right-click on a Map or Image in your resource.
  2. In the popup menu on the Right side click on Image
  3. Then in the menu on the Left side click on Copy
  4. Next open Clipboard Image Viewer, it will automatically read the clipboard and show the image.
    Or if Clipboard Image Viewer is already open, right-click and select new Image from Clipboard.

(Method 2) Print/Export - Copy to Clipboard

In some Media resources simple right-clicking may not copy the highest resolution image to your clipboard. But you can use Ctrl-P to open the Print/Export window in Logos. From there you can click on Copy to Clipboard. (This works in L6 with Biblical Places and in L5/L6 it works with images in some resources)

  1. Locate the map/image that you want to copy in your resource and make sure that it is visible.
  2. On your keyboard press the key combination Ctrl-P. Logos will open the Print/Export window.
  3. If your image is wider than it is tall, you may want to select the Landscape mode for the printer.
  4. Now click on the Copy to Clipboard link. (you can now close the Print/Export window in Logos)
  5. Next open Clipboard Image Viewer, it will automatically read the clipboard and show the image.
    Or if Clipboard Image Viewer is already open, right-click and select new Image from Clipboard.

(Method 3) Print/Export - send to Word then copy from Word to Clipboard

In some Media resources simple right-clicking may not copy the highest resolution image to your clipboard. But you can use Ctrl-P to open the Print/Export window in Logos. From there you can copy it to a Word document and from Word you can copy it into the clipboard. Then you can view this higher resolution image in CIV.

  1. Locate the map/image that you want to copy in your resource and make sure that it is visible.
  2. On your keyboard press the key combination Ctrl-P. Logos will open the Print/Export window.
  3. If your image is wider than it is tall, you may want to select the Landscape mode for the printer.
  4. Now click on the Microsoft Word link. (you can now close the Print/Export window in Logos)
  5. Next in your taskbar click on Word (which Logos opened) to view microsoft's Word window. Scroll down until you see the image/map that you exported to Word. Then right-click on the image and in the popup menu click on Copy (this adds it to the clipboard).
  6. Next open Clipboard Image Viewer, it will automatically read the clipboard and show the image.
    Or if Clipboard Image Viewer is already open, right-click and select new Image from Clipboard.
