Originally created by @contranton on GitHub (May 9, 2025).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/7899

Description

A user should be able to...

... paste images from their clipboard directly into a Photo Gallery
... drag an image (or image block) and insert it into a Photo Gallery
... write a caption for each image in a Photo Gallery

Impact

I often use the snipping tool to paste screenshots into note software without having to first download the file. I can paste images directly without a problem throughout AppFlowy, but this is not possible in the Photo Gallery which I'd like to use to keep my pages organized.

Additional Context

I'd love to take a stab at this if I can be guided on where to start digging!

Hey @contranton, if you want to solve this yourself, you can take a look here:

Gallery Component Implementation in AppFlowy:
frontend/appflowy_flutter/lib/workspace/presentation/widgets/image_viewer

For more context:

Image Upload widget implemented in AppFlowy Editor:
lib/src/editor/block_component/image_block_component

Maybe you will also find this relevant: lib/src/editor/util/file_picker

Let me know if I should assign this to you?
