Choosing a Web Clip Type

There are four different types of Web Clips that you can capture using the Evernote Web Clipper. To view all Web Clip types, click the arrow on the Save button to select what part of the webpage you want to clip.

A preview will be displayed with the portion of the page that will be captured outlined in yellow and the rest of the page darkened.

The following Web Clip types are available:

• Save Article: This option automatically detects the main body or story of a blog, news article, or webpage. To modify the area of the webpage captured, use the arrow keys on your keyboard, according to the on-screen instructions.
• Save Selection: Select some text and/or pictures in a webpage and store only that content into a note. This option is only available if you select a portion of the page before opening the Evernote Web Clipper.
• Save Full Page: This option saves a static copy of the entire page with all navigation, headers, footers and images. This is a good option if you want to refer back to the exact look of the web page or if no article is detected automatically.
• Save URL: This saves just the URL of a note. This is useful in cases where you always want to see the most recent content on that page.
• Save PDF: This option will appear if a PDF document is currently open in your browser, and will save the entire PDF document as an attachment to a new note in your Evernote account.

Setting Web Clip Details

Once you have opened Evernote Web Clipper, you can specify a number of details about your Web Clip before saving it to your Evernote account. The following details can be specified:

• Title: The title of the new note that will created once the Web Clip is saved to your Evernote account. To make clipping content from the Web faster and easier, the title of the webpage being clipped is placed here automatically, but you can change it to anything you like.
• Notebook: The notebook where this Web Clip will be stored. Evernote's Smart Filing feature will attempt to predict and pre-select the most likely Notebook based upon how you have organized similar notes in your Evernote account. You can select a different notebook by clicking the pull-down menu, which will display all of the notebook in your Evernote account.
• Add Tags: Any tag(s) you want assigned to the Web Clip in your Evernote account. Type the name of a new or pre-existing tag. You can also assign multiple tags by separated each with a comma. As you type, Evernote Web Clipper will suggest tags that are assigned to other notes in your Evernote account. These suggestions can be clicked at any time to assign them to your Web Clip. To remove an individual tag, click the X next to the name. To remove all tags, click the X button at the far right end of the Tags field.
• Add Comment: Any additional description or text that will help you remember your notes or thoughts about this Web Clip. This field is not available in Internet Explorer.
