Table of contents

Notion Web Clipper allows you to save any web page from the internet to your workspace so you can read or edit it later. You can add this web content to any workspace or page you choose, making it easy to create a reading list, collect research references, and more.

Add Local Images and Files from Your Phone to Notion

Mobile Web Clipper

Want to add photos you take with your phone to your Notion workspace? You can do it in just a few steps:

  • Select the photos you want to copy to Notion.
  • Tap the Compartir icon at the bottom of the screen.
  • Tap “Notion” if it is already an option in the share menu that appears. (Or, on iPhone, scroll to tap ••• Más and enable Notion as an option).
  • Create a title for the image, select the desired Notion workspace, and tap Agregar a to choose the exact page/database where you want to add the image.
  • When you add local files to a database, no URL will be added.

Websites are built in many ways, so not all can be parsed in the same way. Formatting in Notion will vary. Notion has worked to ensure that clips from top sites like Pinterest, Netflix, Wikipedia, etc., are captured well, and they are gradually improving! However, some sites may fail to be stored correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Unfortunately, Notion Web Clipper only works for pages from your web browser or photos from your gallery. It is not yet compatible with other apps, such as the Twitter app or the iOS Notes app. This will be possible in the future!

Send the URL to the Notion team at team@makenotion.com; they will inform their engineering team so they can modify the Web Clipper and fix it.

Not at the moment. However, you will need to open the page stored in a Notion database to add and edit tags or other database properties.
