🌐 What is xTiles Web Clipper

The Web Clipper is a browser extension that lets you save an entire page or just the parts you need, without distractions (ads, sidebars, etc.).


All saved content appears in your Web Clipper Tile section in xTiles, where you can move it to pages or projects.

Tip: You can clip text, images, blocks (sections of a page), bookmarks, and quick screenshots β€” with optional notes.
