Free Online Tools for Everyone

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.

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.

Getting started is simple - just choose a tool and paste the URL of the webpage you want to work with. Select text and start marking, that is the whole interface. 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.

Our online tools work instantly without installation, making them perfect for quick tasks or when you can't install extensions. They're also a good way to try highlighting before committing to the full extension. While our browser extension offers more features, these web-based tools provide immediate value with no setup required.
