## What is Obsidian Web Clipper?

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.

### 4/5 — 13 августа 2026 перестал работать экспорт

*2026-08-14*

13 августа 2026 перестал работать экспорт  диалогов с ИИ в поиске Google на iPad в Safari в режиме «настольный компьютер». В режиме «мобильный» по прежнему работает. Скорее всего это из-за изменения отображения в самом Google. Адаптируйте пожалуйста!

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2026-07-10*

Seems like when you click on something and hit add to obsidian it doesn’t work. You have to click that and then click open in obsidian

### 5/5 — 技术力惊人

*2026-06-24*

这个插件完全是是意外收获，本来只想安装一个快捷添加到obsidian的插件，结果发现网页内容识别能力抢到离谱，各种公式都很完美是其他插件都做不到的，比safari自带的阅读模式强太多！！

### 1/5 — Usless

iOS26.5では期待した通りwebを切り取ってくれました

iPhone 13 Pro iOS 17.?

### 1/5 — 点击插件无反应

*2026-05-07*

如题，看更新日志，似乎没有修复，问题依旧存在iOS26.4 15pm

### 5/5 — Total game changer for my workflow.

*2026-05-04*

I use it every day for note taking in Obsidian and cannot go back without it now.

There is a little bit of a learning curve with understanding different variables but it is so worth taking the time to set it up for your needs.

The community templates and Obsidian help guides are really helpful!

One thing I do wish is that we could easily select which folder to save the note, like the dropdown option for the vaults.
