Web Clipper extensions are popular productivity tools, making it easy to capture, organize, and save online content for future reference.
I think everyone should have a web clipper in their browser to save interesting articles to read later. I’ve personally tested and reviewed a variety of web clipper extensions available on the Google Chrome Web Store to make your decision of picking the right one easier.
If you used Edge’s built-in Collections as your clipper, Microsoft removed it in Edge 149. Here’s how to get your Edge Collections back or move them somewhere else.
Full disclosure: Tooltivity, which this article links to, is run by my company — the same one that makes Web Highlights. Web Highlights, number one below, is my own extension, and so is Reader Mode, which I mention in its section.
How this list was made: the extensions come from Tooltivity’s Web Clipper category and are ordered by Tooltivity’s score, which rates each one from its Chrome Web Store listing, its ratings and what recent reviews report. Where two scores tie, the one already on the list stays first. I tried the original 2024 picks myself (Web Highlights, OneNote, Notebook, Save to Notion, Milanote, Evernote and Pocket). The other ten joined later and I haven’t tested them hands-on, so their sections summarize each listing and what its users report. Ratings and user counts come from the Chrome Web Store, checked on October 27, 2026. Huntr scores high in the same category, but it is a job-search tracker that clips job postings, so it isn’t on this list.
Here is the list:

1. Web Highlights
This PDF & Web Highlighter Chrome Extension isn’t directly a web clipper, but it offers all the core features you’d expect from one.
The fact that Web Highlights solves the web clipping functionality even better than other popular solutions and at the same time offers many super practical features makes it by far my favorite web clipper browser extension.
Just open its sidebar, click the bookmark icon, and the page is added to your library.
It saves websites directly in the sidebar, complete with metadata like titles, descriptions, images, and more.
If you create an account, the free web app gives you a dashboard of everything you saved. Syncing it across your devices is the paid part after a 7-day free trial.
Here is that flow on video, from the bookmark icon to the dashboard, in about 40 seconds:
Web Highlights is fantastic because it lets you not only take notes on saved websites, but also highlight text directly on the page:
Your highlights and notes then get added to your saved content. And you can also find them in your dashboard.
Here is how this looks like:
Tooltivity gave Web Highlights an outstanding score of 9.8 out of 10.

One thing worth adding here: if the reading part matters more to you than the filing part, we also build Reader Mode + Notes & AI Summary. It strips a page back to clean text and keeps a full offline copy you can still open years later, even if the original disappears. AI summaries, highlights, tags and Notion export need no account. It is new and still small — about 2,000 users — so I mention it as a companion to the list rather than a contender on it.
2. Matter
Matter is the odd one out here: it saves articles, but its real trick is reading them back to you in a voice that does not sound like a robot, and turning podcasts and YouTube videos into text you can skim.
Highlights sync on to the note app you already use, newsletters can come in from Gmail, and Tooltivity’s review finds the free tier covers most of what you would want. It is also one of the smaller tools here — 20,000 Chrome users and 4.0 stars from 32 ratings, against OneNote’s 1,000,000 users — so treat it as a bet on a nice reading experience rather than a safe default. Matter’s apps are for iPhone, iPad and the web; there is still no Android app.
Tooltivity gave Matter a score of 9.0 out of 10.
3. Raindrop.io
Raindrop.io starts as a bookmark manager and quietly becomes a clipper: save a page and it keeps a permanent copy of it, PDFs included, then searches the full text rather than just the title. That is the part people stay for — a bookmark that still works after the original page dies.
Nested collections, tags and highlights sit on top, and it syncs across Chrome, Edge and Firefox. Worth knowing before you commit: Raindrop’s own pricing page lists those permanent copies and the full-text search as Pro features.
Tooltivity gave Raindrop.io a score of 8.9 out of 10.
4. Notebook Web Clipper
Notebook Web Clipper doesn’t have the largest user base and not the best rating either — 3.9 stars from about 1,000 ratings and 70,000 users — but I really like this tool for its simplicity and great features.
The web clipping feature is simple to use and makes saving websites easy. You can also highlight sections of text or take screenshots to add to your collection.
What’s also super cool is its clean view feature that can save a website with a clean reading mode without distractions.
Tooltivity gave Notebook Web Clipper an impressive rating of 8.8 out of 10.

5. Joplin Web Clipper
Joplin Web Clipper is the one to pick if you would rather your notes never touched someone else's server. It saves full pages, simplified articles, selections or screenshots straight into your local Joplin notebooks as clean Markdown. Its Chrome listing has 90,000 users and 4.2 stars from 111 ratings.
It is free, open source and entirely offline. The trade-off is mechanical: the Joplin desktop app has to be running to receive a clip, so it fits people who already live in Joplin rather than anyone looking for a standalone clipper. The Chrome extension’s last update dates from August 15, 2024.
Tooltivity gave Joplin Web Clipper a score of 8.6 out of 10.
6. Save.to (formerly Save to Notion)
Web Highlights can export to Notion too (one export a day on the free plan, unlimited on Ultimate), but Save to Notion is built for nothing else. It now goes by Save.to on the Chrome Web Store.
It has an intuitive one-click save feature that lets you quickly capture information without disrupting your workflow. Plus, with options like highlighting, tagging, taking screenshots, and organizing content, it makes it easy to find what you need later.
There are several web clippers out there helping you to save websites to your Notion workspace, and I found this one to be the simplest and best. Its rating has slipped since, though: 3.6 stars from 1,300 ratings, with 400,000 users.
Tooltivity gave Save to Notion a rating of 8.5 out of 10.

7. Obsidian Web Clipper
If you keep an Obsidian vault, this is the clipper you want. It drops pages, selections and highlights into the vault as Markdown, shaped by per-site templates — so a recipe site and a research paper can each land in their own format, with metadata filled in automatically.
It is completely free, and at 4.8 stars from 582 ratings and 1,000,000 users it is among the best-rated extensions on this list. Tooltivity’s review notes the templates choke on deeply nested data, which you will only notice if you push them hard.
Tooltivity gave Obsidian Web Clipper a score of 8.5 out of 10.
8. Milanote Web Clipper
Milanote has built a solid user base with 100,000 users and holds a 4.7-star rating from 473 ratings on the Chrome Web Store.
Although I don’t use this tool myself, I can see why it’s so popular. Along with its intuitive web clipping features for images and text highlights, it offers a well-designed dashboard that gives a great overview of all your saved content.
Here’s a look at the board within the app.
Tooltivity gave Milanote Web Clipper a rating of 8.5 out of 10.

9. OneNote Web Clipper
Back in university, OneNote was my favorite tool for taking notes, but I hadn’t touched it since then.
Recently, though, I discovered their super simple web clipper Chrome extension — and I loved it! OneNote makes saving websites easy, and honestly, it’s just super simple and beautifully designed.
Here’s what it looks like to save a website to OneNote:
When you clip something, a preview is created right away, and you can edit it on the spot — like rewriting or highlighting text — before it syncs with OneNote.
Besides saving the whole page, you can also save specific text highlights and take full-page screenshots.
One thing changed since I first wrote this: its 4.8 stars from 68,500 ratings hide a rougher recent picture. In Tooltivity’s October crawl, the last 100 reviews averaged 3.3, and its Tooltivity score dropped from 8.8 to 8.2.
Tooltivity gave OneNote Web Clipper a score of 8.2 out of 10.

10. Readwise Highlighter
Readwise Highlighter is the official extension for Readwise Reader, the read-later app from the Readwise team. It saves the page to Reader or lets you highlight and annotate it in place, and every highlight syncs into Readwise and, if you want, on to Obsidian, Notion, Roam Research, Evernote or Logseq.
The catch is the account. The listing says you need an existing Readwise account; new users get a free 30-day trial, then a subscription. Tooltivity’s review calls it close to essential if you already pay for Readwise and a hard sell if you don’t. On Chrome it has 100,000 users and 4.1 stars from 63 ratings.
Tooltivity gave Readwise Highlighter a score of 8.2 out of 10.
11. Notix: Notion Web Clipper
Notix is for Notion users who find the official clipper too bare. Templates fill in database properties before the page is created, it adds a screenshot of the visible area or the whole page, and AI can summarize the page or pre-fill properties for you.
It is the smallest tool here, with 5,000 Chrome users and 4.6 stars from 48 ratings. The free plan is limited to 50 captures a month, according to its pricing page, and Tooltivity’s review found the setup isn’t always intuitive.
Tooltivity gave Notix a score of 8.2 out of 10.
12. Zotero Connector
If what you clip ends up in a bibliography, this is the one to use. Zotero Connector notices when you are on a journal article, a book or a news story and saves it with its citation data in one click. It grabs the PDF when one is available and can save a snapshot of the page in case it changes or disappears. Zotero itself is free and open source.
With 9,000,000 Chrome users it is by far the most installed extension on this list, but it holds 4.0 stars from 2,500 ratings. The last 100 reviews averaged 3.6 in Tooltivity’s October crawl, and its review points at saves that stop working after some updates.
Tooltivity gave Zotero Connector a score of 8.0 out of 10.
13. Diigo Web Collector
Diigo is closer to Web Highlights than to a classic clipper. It bookmarks a page, lets you highlight it and pin sticky notes to it, and can upload a cached copy to your library so your notes outlive the original page.
Its store listing still mentions sharing to Google Buzz and cross-posting to Delicious, which tells you how old most of it is, and the last update dates from June 30, 2024. It has 200,000 users and 4.1 stars from 2,300 ratings.
Tooltivity gave Diigo Web Collector a score of 7.6 out of 10.
14. Instapaper
Instapaper is the read-later veteran. The button saves the current tab to your Instapaper queue, and you read it later on an iPhone, iPad, Android phone, computer or Kindle. If you are coming from Pocket, it works the way you are used to.
The Chrome extension is the weak spot: 3.2 stars from 563 ratings with 300,000 users, and no update since November 6, 2024. Tooltivity’s review mentions saves that stall on some sites.
Tooltivity gave Instapaper a score of 7.5 out of 10.
15. Notion Web Clipper
Notion’s own clipper does one thing: hit the button and the page lands in the Notion page or database you pick. It is free, but you need a Notion account.
It has 1,000,000 Chrome users and the lowest rating on this list, 2.9 stars from 619 ratings. Tooltivity’s review quotes users who say it sometimes keeps little more than the URL and the title. If you want properties filled in before a page is saved, Save.to (#6) and Notix (#11) are built for exactly that.
Tooltivity gave Notion Web Clipper a score of 7.1 out of 10.
16. Evernote Web Clipper
Evernote is a very popular personal knowledge management (PKM) tool which has been a key player in this area for many years.
Given the tool’s popularity, it makes sense to have a Chrome Extension that lets you save content directly to your PKM tool. With 2,000,000 users and 4.5 stars from 129,000 ratings, the extension still looks well liked, but recent reviews tell a different story: the last 100 averaged 2.6 in Tooltivity’s October crawl.
Evernote offers all the features I expect from a web clipper: Easy web content saving, simple bookmarking, adding highlights, creating screenshots and creating tags.
I believe that if you primarily use Evernote for your digital organization, there is no way around this extension. If you’re not an Evernote user like me, try more general options like Web Highlights.
Tooltivity gave Evernote Web Clipper a rating of 7.1 out of 10.

Discontinued: Save to Pocket
Save to Pocket used to sit on this list, and for years it was the default answer for saving a page to read later. Mozilla shut Pocket down on July 8, 2025, so it is no longer a tool we can recommend — but enough people still search for it that leaving it unmentioned would be unhelpful.
If you are coming here looking for a replacement, we wrote up the 10 best Pocket alternatives, and most of the extensions ranked above will do the job.
Final Thoughts
There are many web clipper Chrome extensions available, and choosing the right one often comes down to personal preference. Give a few a try and see which one feels best for you.
If saving the link matters more to you than copying the page, the neighbouring category is worth a look — we ranked the 12 best Chrome bookmark manager extensions, several of which double as clippers. When the thing worth keeping is a video rather than an article, that is a different toolset again — the 10 best video downloader extensions covers it.
