Using the Anara Clipper browser extension

How to install the Anara Clipper Chrome extension and save web pages to your library.

Updated today

The Anara Clipper is a Chrome extension that saves the page you're reading to your library with a single click. No switching tabs, no copy-pasting URLs. Research you find while browsing lands in Anara automatically, ready to read and chat with.

Installing the Clipper

  1. Visit the Chrome Web Store listing page.

  2. Click Add to Chrome to install the extension.

  3. Click the Anara Clipper icon in your browser toolbar.

  4. Sign in with your Anara account to connect the extension to your library.

Saving a web page

  1. Navigate to the web page you want to save.

  2. Click the Anara Clipper icon in your browser toolbar.

The page is added to your library immediately. The Clipper captures the full text of the page, not just a bookmark, so the content is searchable and AI-readable right away.

How saved pages appear in your library

Pages saved with the Clipper appear as Website items. Filter your library by File type: Website to find them quickly. From there you can open and read the page, chat with Anara about its content, add tags, and organize it into folders.

Heads up: The Clipper works on most public web pages but cannot capture content behind login screens or paywalls. For PDFs hosted on the web, downloading the file and uploading it directly usually gives better text extraction than clipping the page.

No extension? Use URL import instead

Without the Clipper, you can get the same result by clicking Add > Import by URL in your library and pasting the page URL. See Importing papers by URL, DOI, or PMID for details.

If something isn't working

If the Clipper icon isn't visible in your toolbar, click the puzzle piece icon in Chrome and pin the Anara Clipper extension. If saving fails, check that you're signed in by clicking the Clipper icon. If you're signed out, you'll be prompted to log in again.
