I don't know the way to adjust the artboard as your paste your image into it (a bit like Photoshop does) but there's another trick that is quite convenient in Illustrator.




You can go in the menu "Object", then "Artboards" and then select
"Fit to artwork bounds"
You can also select a shape in your artboard and select the "Fit to
selected art" to make your artboard the size of that shape. This can be useful if you need to add some extra margins around your image or a precise size; you can simply trace an empty rectangle and use it as the base to resize your artboard.


With this technique, you can simply copy-paste your image into Illustrator and use one of the above.
