Copy Texts, Emoji & URLs from Android to PC with KDE Connect

KDE Connect is a service that connects your Android phone to your PC. You can use the same tool to copy text and emojis from Android phone to Windows 10 PC. First, you’ll need to download the app for both your Android and Windows 10.

• Download: KDE Connect Nightly Build For Windows 10 (64-bit)
• Download: KDE Connect on Google Play Store

Double-click on the downloaded file on your PC to install it. Before you continue, make sure both your phone and PC are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

1. Launch the KDE Connect app on your PC once installed.
2. The app starts minimized to the system tray so you will not see it at first.
3. Check the system tray to make sure the app is running.
   
4. Open the KDE Connect app on your Android phone.
5. It should automatically detect your PC. Tap on the name of your PC on the app on your phone.
6. Press the REQUEST PAIRING button.
7. On the PC, click on the ACCEPT button on the notifications that appears.

Clipboard sharing is enabled by default on KDE Connect. That means you should now be able to copy texts on your phone and paste it on your PC or vice versa. Since emoji is also really text, you can also copy and paste emoji between your PC and phone. The same thing applies to a URL as well. However, KDE Connect offers extensions for Chrome and Firefox to make URL sharing even easier. You can grab them from the links provided below.

• Download: KDE Connect Google Chrome Extension
• Download: KDE Connect Firefox Extension

To make sure Clipboard sharing between your Android and Windows devices is enabled, you can check the app settings.
