Paste Image Into TinyMCE Editor

Question

I am looking at ways to Paste an Image into TinyMCE editor, I have been googling it for a while, but couldn't find any related answer.

I can append an <img> with src content to the Editor(when i paste the image on the page other than inside the editor).

I am not able to paste it inside the Editor. I am using Javascript and jquery. Has anyone got an idea, how i could do this.

You can't do that. TinyMCE and any other editor out there are giving you the functionality of creating rich text content. Displaying an image requires an URL and there is no URL to the image on your machine.

You need to upload the image to a server. You need to be able to access that image through a link. That link is what you insert into TinyMCE.
