# imagePasteboardTypes()

Returns an array of strings identifying the pasteboard types supported directly by the registered image representation objects.

## Declaration

```swift
class func imagePasteboardTypes() -> [NSPasteboard.PasteboardType]
```

## Return Value

Return Value An array of NSString objects, each of which identifies a single supported pasteboard type. By default, this list contains the  NSPDFPboardType, NSPICTPboardType, NSPostScriptPboardType, and NSTIFFPboardType types.

## Discussion

Discussion This list includes all pasteboard types supported by registered subclasses of NSImageRep plus those that can be converted to a supported type by a user-installed filter service. Do not override this method. Instead, override the imageUnfilteredPasteboardTypes() method to notify NSImage of the pasteboard types your class supports.
