Product updates | By Andrew Sinkov

We’re always making our web extensions smarter so that you spend less time clipping and more time browsing. Today, we have a very cool update to our Google Chrome Extension, which helps you do just that.

Customizable Article Clipping

Several months ago, we introduced Article Clip, which lets you click once for Evernote to automatically figure out the area of the webpage that you want to save. If you’re looking at a blog post, an Article Clip is usually the body of the post, but what if you also want to grab the comments? Now, you can easily add that to your clip using only your arrow keys.

Go to a blog post and click on the Chrome Extension without selecting anything. The extension will highlight the area it thinks you want to clip. Now, use the arrow keys to expand or change the selected area. Up and down arrows make the selected area bigger or smaller. Left and right arrows move between sections of the page. Give it a shot. It’s really fun.

We’ve also added a few Article Selection-related options to the extension. Find them by right clicking on the Evernote icon in the browser toolbar.

More extension updates to come

We’re working on adding functionality to all of our extensions. Safari users stay tuned; your update is coming very soon.

    Love to see EverNote and Zotero hook up. It would be a researcher’s dream come true!

    Wow, this is a very cool update. It did catch me off guard a little bit – after clicking the clipper in the toolbar, I tried to click on the arrows in the top left corner… oops. Once I found out to use the arrow keys, it works perfectly!

    Great update. But it would be perfect if you could extend the clipping area at both the top and bottom. If you want to include the heading and hit the up arrow that works great. Then if you also want to include the comments and hit the down arrow it just deselects the heading, rather than adding the comments at he bottom.

    Thank you for good

    Just to save anyone any unnecessary frustration. Don’t try to click on the buttons that appear when clipping an article. Use the keyboard instead.

    • David

      Thanks for the clarification Steve. Unfortunately I incurred the frustration before I read your post. It would be nice if the blog post were a little clearer on this point.

  • Brian

    The comment at the end about safari users made me excited! Been looking forward to it since Lion

    Very Nice Application,lots of thanks for this!!

  • John Rush

    It does not work on every page; for example, it would be nice to be able to clip only the image from this page – http://500px.com/photo/2296723. I am not presented with the arrows for resizing. Clipper is working fine for other pages though
