Web Highlights
Web Highlights is a PDF and web highlighter with notes and annotations. It is built for selecting text on websites or PDFs, saving those highlights, and keeping them after a page refresh.
The product includes note-taking and tagging alongside highlights, so saved material can be organized with added context. It also offers AI-powered summaries of highlights and web pages using Chrome’s built-in AI, with offline operation and a stated privacy focus. Another feature lets users chat with websites, PDFs, or YouTube videos to ask questions and get explanations. YouTube transcripts can be highlighted and annotated while watching, and the site also describes a reader mode for Chrome that saves webpages in a clean view, works offline, and preserves a copy of the page even if the original disappears.
Web Highlights is available as extensions for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, and it can be used without signing up. The page also mentions a web app for access from any device. Premium and Ultimate plans are offered with a 7-day trial, and those plans include features such as reminders, unlimited learning sessions, and an overview of highlighted pages. The service also provides export to Markdown, PDF, and HTML, with explicit mention of Notion, Obsidian, and other PKM tools, and it can import from Pocket, Weava, and Diigo. A web clipper is included for saving pages as bookmarks and tagging them for later retrieval.
The site describes the audience as students, online readers, and people looking for better digital experiences.
