Download or clipboard permission issue

Download and clipboard failures usually come from browser permissions, very large image captures, or a blocked download prompt. Reduce the export size or use a file download fallback.

Symptom

The export generates but download, copy, or image creation fails.

Most likely cause

The browser blocked the permission, the capture exceeded canvas or clipboard limits, or a download prompt was dismissed.

Fix it

Allow downloads/clipboard for the extension, reduce image dimensions, or use Markdown/PDF as a fallback.

  1. 1 Check browser permissions.
  2. 2 Try a smaller image width or shorter conversation.
  3. 3 Use file download instead of clipboard.
  4. 4 Retry the export.

Verify it worked

Confirm the downloaded file exists or the clipboard paste succeeds in a local test document.

What RecallBase cannot verify

RecallBase should not ask you to share sensitive screenshots or clipboard contents.
