- Extension status: Featured
Save and highlight web pages in a private and durable format that you can access offline. The official extension for Obsidian.
Bring the web to your personal knowledge base. Save content to your Obsidian vault so you always have access to it, even offline. Obsidian is secure, private, and designed around durable open formats that allows you to preserve your data for the long term.
Whether you're researching for a project, saving recipes, bookmarking travel destinations, or collecting inspiring articles, the Obsidian Web Clipper helps you organize your ideas.
- Clip anything: From news articles and blog posts to recipes, product pages, and research papers — if it's on the web, you can save it.
- Select page content: Clip entire pages, selected text, or let the clipper intelligently extract just the main content.
- Customizable templates: Create tailored templates to automatically extract metadata from web pages. Perfect for academics, movie buffs, book lovers, or anyone who wants structured notes.
- Smart triggers: Set up rules to automatically apply the right template based on the website you're clipping from.
- Seamless integration: all your clips flow directly into Obsidian, in the vault and folder of your choice.
As with everything Obsidian, Web Clipper is designed to protect your privacy, and give you control over your data.
- No lock-in: All your clips are saved in clean, durable, portable Markdown files — no proprietary formats.
- Offline access: your saved clips are saved locally, and always at your fingertips, with or without an internet connection.
- 100% private: all your clipped content is stored locally in your Obsidian vault. Your thoughts are yours.
Obsidian helps you create connections and links between your notes so you can organize your thoughts. You can create links between everything — ideas, articles, lists, locations, books — anything you can put in a note, you can link to other notes.

- Marianne Krause
- I like it but I also want to report that every time I clip something that has text that ends with an exclamation mark followed by an image, the file is incorrectly saved as the extension (? I have no knowledge of how this works) interprets the exclamation mark as markup code and the image will not be shown when in viewing mode. example: Yey![![IMG Is there anything to be done about it or do I have to correct manually every time? In other respects no complaints, so thank you for the extension!
- Mark R
- Thank you for this!
- Ian Levesque
- Wow, I wasn't expecting so many rich and powerful capabilities of this extension. Conversions seem to work reliably, template capabilities are robust (even including text filtering capabilities), and I appreciate the quality of life features that have been included such as inline syntax checks, seamless config saving, native reader mode and useful hotkeys. Well done!

- "This is exactly what I wanted and needed! This week I was planning to build automation with n8n to achieve the same goal, but now I found a much simpler solution. Saving web pages directly to my Obsidian vault with templates is incredible!"
- Joshua Easley (Nezzynaz)
- Fantastic results so far. Do look up templates from other people first.

- Grant Pitt
- Wonderful tool
- King Flipper
- Request to dev: Can we batch upload all opened tabs at once (with the AI possibly working at the other end)? I'll reserve the fifth star until then. :)
- Dmitry Kuzmin
- Must have!
- Lyn Bonaparte
- I use this religiously and it has been fantastic. It's very convenient to use and keeps all of my notes WITH their respective media links. I use it as a journal and a dashboard, so I can have the things i need to look at every day, that's all in one spot. I have been using Obsidian Web Clipper for more than a year and have not had any real complaints about it. This is SO good that this is the only review I have ever left for a product online hah
- Jack Watters
- Great tool. My most used web extension. Works flawlessly with obsidian. Would recommend checking out how the CEO uses it with his Obsidian: https://stephango.com/vault
- Alyssa Pittman
- Great for simple clipping, not yet good for recipes - I spent hours attempting to adjust the recipe template to find that it's not possible to get the clipper to work for all sites that use the Schema.org Recipe format. The default recipe template successfully clips a simple list of recipe instructions, but Schema.org recipes can have lists of objects with nested recipe instructions, which the templating language can't handle. I'm ok with making my own templates, but without conditionals to deal with the different formats and the ability to do some form of nested processing, I still need to do more manual work on each clip than I'd like. With a more fully-featured templating language, would be 5 stars! Love the customizable templates overall.
- Tony Lim
- My god this is such a good extension. Thank you for making it customizable, I really love the ability to template the new note.
- Kira Singh

- Max Worm
- Great and FOSS!
- Roy Mosby
- I love how the the settings autosave as you work with them. Very nice UX!
- James Brennan
- Works as advertised but to get max value you need to understand how to create custom templates for each type of note. If you just use the default template you are missing half the power of this plugin.
- brendan au
- this makes my life so much easier. would find it much harder to keep track of life without it. the templates take a little bit to learn but that's mostly me, not the product.
- Autin
- Works amazingly and helps my workflow ~90% of the time. Occasionally it will refuse to "save" an article after it just saved one a minute previously, with seemingly no reason for the bug.
- Kauri Markkanen
- works fantastically
- Hayden Finney
- wonderful app
- Tammy Stoner
- The UI does a great job of mirroring what I'm used to when I'm working in Obsidian. This made it a breeze to just start using without RTFM. After RTFM, I was pleasantly surprised at the customization and automation options (e.g. templates) this extions offers. It's fast, offers plenty of customizations (which aren't required but handy), has a nearly flat learning curve, and amazingly FREE! This covers most of my favorite things. Thanks to the devs for creating this great extension and offering it to everyone for free.
