What is Web Clipper?
Web Clipper is a free, open-source browser extension for saving web content to note-taking and productivity apps. Built by the webclipper organization on GitHub, its pitch is "save anything on the web to anywhere": it supports 18+ destinations including Notion, OneNote, Yuque, Joplin, Obsidian, Bear, GitHub, Confluence, Flomo, and Siyuan, with a plugin architecture so new platforms can be added. Clipping modes include full page, manual selection, readability (cleaned article view), bookmark, screenshot, and QR code. It is a mature project with over 1,300 commits, about 6.8k GitHub stars, and roughly 30,000 Chrome users; version 1.42.0 shipped in October 2025. It runs on Chrome and Edge, with everything free of charge since there is no company or paid tier behind it.

Pricing
Web Clipper is completely free. It is open-source software with no paid tiers, subscriptions, or accounts of its own — you only need accounts on the destination services (Notion, OneNote, etc.) you clip to. The source code is publicly available on GitHub.
Best for
Users who clip to multiple note apps — or to services most clippers ignore, like Yuque, Siyuan, or Flomo — and want one free, open-source extension instead of a separate clipper per service. Also a good fit for anyone who wants auditable, non-commercial clipping software.

Yes. Web Clipper is fully free and open source, with no paid tiers or subscriptions. You only need accounts on the services you clip to, such as Notion or OneNote.
Does Web Clipper work with Firefox?
Official releases target Chrome and Edge via their extension stores. Firefox is referenced in the project's development documentation but is not an officially distributed version.

It is stable rather than actively developed. Version 1.42.0 was released on the Chrome Web Store in October 2025 and the GitHub repository, which holds over 1,300 commits, has had no new commits since. It is community-maintained and not archived, so response times on its 227 open issues vary.
