Button to copy image

This seems like a ridiculously easy question but I can't find the answer.

I am creating a customer-facing page for my client, which will allow the user to filter through 1000+ charts by selecting region, product etc.

For each .png chart there is a matching table created dynamically as SVG. For each chart/table there should be several easy options to copy or save what they see.

enter image description here

Is there a reliable, cross browser way to do the second button, i.e. to copy the image to the clipboard (e.g. so the user can paste into powerpoint). I realise they can right click but some of them will not know this.

Sorry if this is obvious!

No, you can't copy images to the clipboard. Copying anything to the clipboard is a security limitation of every browser. You should indicate your user how can he do it, and trust him
