Where Does ArsClip Store Clips on Windows?
Where ArsClip keeps clips, groups and settings on Windows for backup, migration and moves.
Last updated
ArsClip keeps clips, groups and settings in one data folder: a small database for history plus INI options beside it. Portable and installed builds pick different parents, so check both spots.
Copy with ArsClip closed; the tray icon hides a running instance that locks the database. Clipboard history caps by age and count, so old clips age out on their own. Export permanent clips separately for safekeeping.
Where ArsClip stores this, by platform

Clips database plus INI options in one data folder. Portable builds keep it beside the exe. Close the tray instance before copying.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up ArsClip clips?
Close ArsClip and copy its AppData folder elsewhere. Clips and groups travel in the database, settings beside it. Restoring means dropping the folder back before launch.
Portable or installed: which data does ArsClip use?
Portable builds keep data beside the executable while installed builds use AppData. Check beside the exe first; a data file there wins. Whichever loads on start is the live one.
