Frequently Asked Questions

What is Web Highlights?
Web Highlights is primarily a powerful browser extension that lets you highlight and markup text on any website for better note-taking and research. While the extension offers the full experience, we also provide these free online tools - including a standard yellow highlighter and distraction-free reader mode - that anyone can use without installation. Whether you're researching, studying, or just want to save important information, Web Highlights helps you work more efficiently online.
Are these tools really free?
Yes! All our online tools are completely free to use with no registration required. While we offer a premium version with additional features, our core tools including the web page marker extension and chrome marker functionality are free for everyone. We believe in making productivity tools accessible to all users.
How do I get started with the tools?
Getting started is simple - just choose a tool and paste the URL of the webpage you want to work with. Learn how to highlight in notes with our intuitive interface - just select text and start marking. For reading, you can use our reader mode to focus on content without distractions. No installation needed for the basic tools, though we recommend our browser extension for advanced features.
What makes these tools different from browser extensions?
Our online tools work instantly without installation, making them perfect for quick tasks or when you can't install extensions. They're also great for learning how to highlight in notes effectively before committing to our full highlighter application. While our browser extension offers more features, these web-based tools provide immediate value with no setup required.
Can I save my work?
Yes! When using our tools, your highlights and annotations are automatically saved in your browser. You can export your work in various formats including PDF, HTML, and Markdown. For permanent storage and cross-device access, consider creating a free account or using our page marker extension.
Is there a browser extension available?
Yes! While these online tools are great for quick tasks, our browser extension offers additional features like offline access, automatic syncing across devices, and advanced highlighting options. The extension works with Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, providing a seamless highlighting experience across the web. Try our online tools first to see how our features can help you, then install the extension for the full experience!
