@Riyaz_riz11 Thanks you for answering. but after taking screenshot, I am using few other action(as I mentioned in question) and not immediately pasting in excel (as this excel will be downloaded at the end and i have to paste screenshot after that). So I cant i cant save in clipboard as I am not immediately pasting screenshot in CSV.

As @Riyaz_riz11 mentioned you can keep it stored in the clipboard and only paste it in the end of the flow unless you need to use the clipboard in between the screenshot and pasting it into the Excel sheet.

So if you need to use the clipboard in other parts of the flow then you could use script to accomplish this. So save the image to jpg file not to clipboard and then have script that copies that image file to your clipboard clipboard just before pasting it in the Excel.

PowerShell script:
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Drawing # Specify the path to your image file $imagePath = "C:\Users\Eetu\Downloads\test123.jpg" # Load the image $image = [System.Drawing.Image]::FromFile($imagePath) # Set image to clipboard [System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard]::SetImage($image) Write-Host "Image copied to clipboard."

Full example flow:
