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.

Installed the extension on the Linux version and it works. Only issue is that the clipper window remains blank and there is no user feedback that the clip was successful. When I look in my evernote, there is the clip.

Good work. I look forward to improvements and refinements.

You’ve got this blog set up so that each new comment shows up as an individual new item in RSS readers. Fix it please.

I can’t seem to be able to install it on the Chrome Beta for OS X.

It would be really, really nice if we had an Opera web clipper.

It does install and work well in the Chrome for Linux build. Please note the compatibility in future updates about the clipper for your Linux friends!

Are there plans to add clipping to Safari fro Windows?

When is the Mac version going to be available? It’s back to Firefox and Safari until it’s ready.

  @Syd Google hasn’t enabled extensions in the Mac version of Chrome. When they do, we expect that our extension will work.

Alexandre -> the web clipper works fine in opera. I use it a long time.

@AndrewSinkov Thanks for the clarification.

Re: Opera – the web clipper does work, but to do so means sacrificing screen space to have a favourites bar – I would strongly prefer an Opera clipper personally!
