Quick Tip: Remember Everything You See on the Web

Tips and Stories | By Kasey Fleisher Hickey
 

We interact with a lot of useful information on the Web. From research to gift ideas, home decorating inspiration to recipes, there’s a lot of stuff on the Web that we want to be able to quickly recall, revisit, and save to our memory bank. Once you start using the Evernote Web Clipper, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

You can get the Evernote Web Clipper for:

  • Google Chrome
  • Firefox
  • Safari
  • Internet Explorer (comes automatically installed when you download Evernote to your desktop; available with Evernote for Windows, only)

Use the Web Clipper to capture anything and everything you might want to remember including: articles, blog posts, recipes, restaurant menus, products you might want to buy, advice and inspiration, fitness plans, travel recommendations, and more.

Remember that the Evernote Clipper is intelligent. It will automatically capture the URL associated with each Web clip, meaning you can always return to the page you clipped by clicking on the URL inside of your Evernote account. More, our Clippers are becoming smarter and smarter, letting you do less work and get more out of your Evernote account. The Chrome Web Clipper, for example, smartly assigns suggested tags for your clips, using the tags you already have in your account, and displays other notes you clipped from the same website. It also now includes a new feature called Related Notes, which pulls up to three notes from your account that may be related to the content you just clipped.

The cool thing is that everything you clip from the Web gets saved alongside everything else in your Evernote account. You can even take advantage of the Offline Notebook feature, meaning you can browse your Web Clips on multiple devices where you have Evernote installed, even without an Internet connection (Note: Offline Notebooks on mobile devices are only available for Premium users).

    It must be difficult to design a clipper for the various browsers available for smart phones. I say that because if it was not difficult, you would have done so by now. Why is it so difficult?

    Evernote is the most valuable and most ised on my Droid phone. If only…

    I have never figured out how to use the Clipper with Internet Explorer 9. I can only clip the whole article or the url. When I use Firefox if I highlight a portion of a page that is what gets clipped. Is there a way to do that with Internet Explorer?

    Hi!
    what’s about opera browser.?

  • Theresa

    I would love to see a clipper for the Kindle Fire (one that worked natively, without installing a different browser). Right now the only thing I can do is send the URL to Evernote, which is not terribly useful if you are offline.
    Otherwise, I love the web clipper (also Clearly – I use both) and don’t know what I did without it. Thanks for the continuous updates and features!

    It would be great if I could also create a notebook on the fly. Currently, you need to be at your desktop computer.

      I found these instructions on the web. I’ve tried it and it works!

      1. Open up Evernote on your iPhone
      2. Click on “All Notes”
      3. Click on the big blue plus button located bottom center of the screen
      4. Within the new note you should see the “i” button located top of the screen, right of the paper clip icon
      5. Click the “i” icon
      6. Click the notebook icon, located far left of the icons you see
      7. In the search at top, type in the name of the notebook

    When I go to a google images page with lots of images I want to clip, I wish I could put them in ONE note, rather than one at a time. Couldn’t figure out how to do this.

  • Heather Allen

    I would love this for web os ( HP touchpad) and Windows Phone!

    I’ve had Evernote for moe than a year now and it’s unfortunately been quite a disappointment. I can’t really see what it adds or what it makes my iPhone/iPad do, that it can’t do already. The idea of the web clipper seems good but I’ve never gotten to the point of making it work, so I was thrilled to receive the news mail saying: learn how to enhance your web browsing experience with the web clipper. The thing is though, when you click on the link, I get to this page which is basically just people writing about how much they like the web clipper, and contains no learning info on how to get the web clipper let alone how to make it work. It can’t be that difficult to construct something that ordinary people like myself can figure out how to operate – or can it?
    Let me add that I already have seen the YouTube stuff about the web clipper but the interface there is different from the one I have. I do indeed wonder why?

    It is incomprehensible. What for when we have web clipping to ios? Please do it soon.
