How to Clone Profiles in Salesforce within few clicks?

Clone-Permission-Set

ABC Company is using Salesforce to manage its Sales, Service Cloud activities. They have lot of Profiles which are being used to manage the permissions for the different type of users.

ABC Company is expanding its business and want to setup a new Salesforce org (Org 2) which is replica of existing salesforce org (Org 1). In order to replicate, they need to perform multiple activities like:

How can I clone multiple profiles from any source org to current Org?
As both the orgs (Org 1 & Org 2) are not inter-linked to each other, Alex (an administrator of ABC Company), will have to manually copy each and every entities of the profiles and complete his action.

For eg: In case, if a developer has to clone a profiles with many objects, record types, layouts permissions etc, then admin would have to open each and every profile and clone them to new org.

These type of work requests would take much more effort and time, but with our Bulk Object Field Creator (BOFC) App user can clone multiple profiles within “Current Salesforce org” or from any “External Salesforce org” in few clicks.
