How to write image to clipboard programmatically on Windows (using powershell or other tools)?

Question

I know on Windows, powershell Get-Clipboard -format image outputs the clipboard image.

But the Set-Clipboard command doesn't seem to support image.

Also, how to transform the output from Get-Clipboard -format image to buffer or base64 string?

Does this help? stackoverflow.com/questions/72567806/…

This worked for me.

Get-ChildItem <Image Path> | Set-Clipboard

this worked and more native

one line code:

Add-Type -Assembly System.Drawing, System.Windows.Forms; [System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard]::SetImage([System.Drawing.Image]::FromFile("string filename"))
