# Does the Junk Yard capture images and screenshots I copy?

Yes. An image you copy — including a screenshot taken to the clipboard — lands as an image card with a thumbnail. Click the thumbnail to see it big in the preview, or click the card to copy the image back.

The picture is saved on your Mac with the scrap and removed when the scrap clears. Text inside images becomes searchable, so you can find a screenshot later by a word that appears in it.
