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.

Any idea when the Mac version will be available for Chrome?

Does it use local Evernote or always goes to web?
- Andrew Sinkov
  
  @Gwydion The Chrome extension always goes to the web.

Just curious — how is this better / different from the toolbar bookmark already available?
Ola Forsstrom-Olsson

Yeah, I wonder the same thing: how is it better than the toolbar bookmark?
- Andrew Sinkov
  
  @Ola @Graham The extension provides the same functionality as the Web Clipper bookmarklet.

I just installed it on Chromium OS too…

Awesome news, but using Evernote Windows client is much faster than clipping to the Web (in Firefox, anyway), so I hope you plan on expanding this Chrome clipper functionality very soon.

Could you add the ability to shift-click to do pdf, like in safari, that’s the ONLY thing stopping me from going to Chrome. I love it, but the shift click pdf note is just too awesome to give up!

  I second that. I much prefer Chrome to Safari but the PDF clipping is a killer feature I always use.

Is Chromium any good? I’ve read about it but I’m not too sure what to think yet.
