If you use Google Chrome, then there’s a shiny new Evernote Web Clipper extension calling your name. Get it now »

What does the Web Clipper do?

The Web Clipper allows you to save web pages into your Evernote account. No more bookmarks or open tabs. Whenever you see something you like, just clip it. Evernote will save the text, links, images, and all. Then, you’ll be able to access that page in Evernote on your computer or phone.

How it works

The Google Chrome extension works just like our web-based bookmarklet. It offers you two different clipping options:

Highlight a portion of the page and click: This will save what you selected and send it into Evernote.
Click without selecting: This will allow you to either create a quick text note or clip the entire page, depending on your preference.

Will it work in my version of Google Chrome

Currently, extensions are only supported in the Beta version of Google Chrome for Windows. Get Google Chrome »

Video tutorial

This tutorial walks through the Evernote Web Clipper. The video shows it in Firefox, but the functionality is the same as in the Chrome extension.

Other browsers

Evernote also has Web Clipper options for Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari on our Web Clipper page.

Please DON’T FORGET a new extension supporting Mozilla Thunderbird 3.0.1. Thank you.

does anybody know how to save video to evernote??? I’ve upgraded to premium and still I must be doing something wrong. Help…

  @Aurora As a premium user, you can attach video files (MOV, AVI, WMV, etc) to your notes. We don’t currently support embedded videos, such as Youtube. So you can’t clip a Youtube or Vimeo page and have the video show up as part of your note.

Any chance we can get clipping to the local notebook with the Chrome extension for Mac? Just looking for the same functionality the Firefox add-on has.
Tony Linde

I’ll second the request for clipping to local notebook. Much better the way FF does it.
Kristen

Will clipping to the local notebook be available for Mac? This is the main reason I had the firefox extension…which seems more useful currently.

When we’ll see an Opera web clipper? Or we wait for nothing?

When I try to sign in I get “Your username must start and end with a letter or number, it can contain hyphens and underscores.”. I checked the username and password and I didn’t make any mistake. I’m already signed in to the application. I don’t get it. Why doesn’t it work? Very frustrating! (Chrome extension on Mac)

    Getting the same error,”Your username must start and end with a letter or number, it can contain hyphens and underscores.”
    
    When I attempt to login through the web clipper.I’m 100% positive that I am entering the user name correctly.

Would like to be able to clip to my local notebook too! Firefox’s extension is really better on that point.
Eric

I would also like to be able to clip to local notebooks so that I do not waste my monthly quota when I’m using my desktop. For clippings that I would lke to be accessible anywhere, I can just drag them into synchronized notebooks.
