Images are automatically processed and prepared for clipboard operations. ## Notes - This tool is designed for macOS only due to its dependency on macOS-specific clipboard operations. - Images are processed using Sharp for optimal performance and quality. - When multiple images are found, they are merged vertically with consideration for size limits. - Animated GIFs are automatically handled by extracting their first frame.
