How to Save a Full Webpage with Web Clipper

To save a whole webpage with Evernote Web Clipper, open the page, click the elephant icon in your browser toolbar, choose Full Page, select a notebook if needed, then click Save Clip. Full Page is intended to retain the page’s layout, including design and navigation. If you want the article text without the surrounding layout, choose Article or Simplified Article instead. Evernote’s Web Clipper guide describes the clip modes and save flow.

Choose the right clip mode

Mode	Choose it when	What to expect
Full Page	You want the page’s overall layout and design.	A page-style clip, including surrounding elements such as navigation.
Article	You want the main content of a blog post, news story, or similar page.	Focuses on the article section rather than the whole page.
Simplified Article	You want a cleaner reading copy.	Removes distracting layout and focuses on readable content.
Screenshot	You need a visual snapshot or want to annotate what appears.	A visual capture; Evernote documents callouts such as highlights, text, and shapes.
Bookmark	You only need to keep the URL with a brief preview.	A link and preview rather than a full page capture.

These modes serve different purposes; a visual screenshot should not be treated as editable article text. The exact labels and settings can vary by browser. Evernote’s clipper documentation explains the modes.

Step-by-step: save the full page

1. Install or enable Web Clipper in a supported desktop browser and sign in if prompted. Evernote’s quick-start guide lists Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. Its settings documentation covers additional desktop-browser support, so check the current browser extension listing if you use another browser.
2. Open the webpage you want to save. Navigate to the specific page rather than a search results or account page.
3. Open Web Clipper. Click the elephant icon in the browser toolbar. If it is not visible, look among the browser’s extensions and pin it to the toolbar.
4. Select Full Page from the clip-type controls.
5. Organize the clip. Choose a notebook and optionally add tags or a comment in the save panel.
6. Click Save Clip. Wait for the save flow to finish, then open the resulting note and confirm it contains the material you need.

For a shorter reading copy, follow the same steps but select Article or Simplified Article. You can also set a default clip action and notebook in the extension settings; available settings depend on the browser. See Evernote’s Web Clipper settings.

Check the result and handle pages below the fold

Full Page is the appropriate mode when you want a page-style copy that includes content beyond the initially visible viewport. After saving, inspect the note, especially if the site loads content as you scroll or changes its page layout dynamically. If the clip is incomplete or not useful, switch among Full Page, Article, and Simplified Article to see which captures the intended material. For a visual record of what appears on the page, try Screenshot.

Do not assume that every site will clip perfectly or that a screenshot produces editable text. Evernote’s troubleshooting guidance recommends changing clip types and using Screenshot when appropriate.

Or skip the browser setup

If you need a clean image or PDF of a page rather than a note in Evernote, ScreenshotNeo captures it with one GET request. The API can return PNG, JPEG, WebP, or PDF. Its cookie-banner acceptance and cleanup removes 60+ known consent platforms, newsletter popups, and chat widgets before capture; each step can be turned off. Bot checks, blank pages, timeouts, failed loads, and cache hits cost nothing, and the response identifies the page verdict and billing status in headers.

cURL:

curl -G "https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot" -d access_key=YOUR_API_KEY --data-urlencode url=https://stripe.com -o shot.webp

Python:

import requests

r = requests.get(
    "https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot",
    params={"access_key": "YOUR_API_KEY", "url": "https://stripe.com"},
    timeout=90,
)
r.raise_for_status()
with open("shot.webp", "wb") as image:
    image.write(r.content)

Node.js:

const q = new URLSearchParams({ access_key: 'YOUR_API_KEY', url: 'https://stripe.com' });
const res = await fetch(`https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot?${q}`);
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`Screenshot request failed: ${res.status}`);
const bytes = new Uint8Array(await res.arrayBuffer());
await import('node:fs/promises').then(fs => fs.writeFile('shot.webp', bytes));

See the ScreenshotNeo API documentation for the API parameters. An MCP server also lets AI agents use take_screenshot, get_page_info, and capture_pdf. There are 1,000 screenshots per month free with no card; paid plans start at $5 for 3,000. Sign up for 1,000 free screenshots a month, with no card.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Likely cause	What to try
The clipper icon is missing	The extension is hidden or not enabled.	Check the browser’s extensions menu, pin the elephant icon, and confirm the extension is enabled.
The clip misses content or includes too much surrounding page	The selected clip mode does not match the page or your goal.	Try Full Page for the layout, Article or Simplified Article for the main text, and Screenshot for a visual capture.
The saved note is not readable as expected	A visual capture and an article-style clip preserve different things.	Choose Article or Simplified Article for readable main content; use Screenshot when visual appearance matters.
The clip is saved in the wrong place	The selected notebook or default destination differs from what you expected.	Choose the destination in the save panel and review the default notebook in extension settings.
Instructions do not match your browser	Extension controls and available settings vary between browsers.	Check the current extension listing and that browser’s Web Clipper settings documentation.

Performance, reliability, and cost

Web Clipper’s documented workflow is interactive: you open the extension, choose a clip type, and save a note. The research sources do not specify capture-time guarantees, storage limits, or pricing, so check Evernote’s current plan and extension details for those terms. For pages with dynamic or lazy-loaded content, inspect the saved result and retry with a different mode if necessary.

For automated image or PDF capture, ScreenshotNeo offers caching with a TTL you choose, async jobs with signed webhooks, bulk capture of up to 100 URLs per call, and a usage API. Clean shots are billed; bot checks, blank pages, timeouts, failed loads, and cache hits are not. Its free plan includes 1,000 shots per month with no card; paid plans are Starter $5 for 3,000, Growth $15 for 15,000, Pro $39 for 60,000, Scale $99 for 250,000, and Business $249 for 1,000,000. Yearly billing gives two months free, and every feature is available on every plan. These are API captures rather than Evernote notes.

FAQ

Does Full Page save the complete webpage as editable text?

Can I save only the link?

Yes. Choose Bookmark when a URL and brief preview are enough.

Can I set a default notebook?

Evernote’s settings documentation says you can choose a default action and notebook destination. The controls can vary by browser.

What if Screenshot is not available?

Check the clipper controls for your browser and its current extension documentation. The available settings can vary.

Can I use this workflow on a phone?

The cited quick-start and settings materials describe browser extensions, with the quick-start listing desktop browsers. Check the current Evernote extension listing for the browser and device you use.
