# Web clips

> Save a whole page, an image, or a text selection from any website into your Stashr library.

Web clips let you save from any website, not just the platforms Stashr supports directly. You use Chrome's right-click menu, and the result becomes a bookmark with the platform "Web" in your library.

## The three menu items

On any http or https page, right-click to find:

- **Save page to Stashr**: right-click anywhere on the page
- **Save image to Stashr**: right-click an image
- **Save selection to Stashr**: right-click selected text

You must be signed in. If you are not, a "Sign in to Stashr first" toast appears.

## Saving a page

1. **Right-click anywhere on the page**

   Choose **Save page to Stashr**.

2. **Grant access on first use**

   Chrome prompts once for site access so Stashr can read the article and fetch its cover image. If you decline, nothing is saved and the toast says "Stashr needs site access to save pages". Chrome asks again on your next save.

3. **Look for the toast**

   "Saved to Stashr" appears in the top right. On pages with no readable article, it says "Saved (no article text)" and the bookmark keeps the title, description, and link.


Stashr extracts the readable article the way a reader view does: headings, paragraphs, lists, quotes, code blocks, tables, and the images inside the article. It also keeps the title, site name, author, publish date, and the canonical link with tracking parameters removed. The cover image is stored by Stashr; images inside the article are shown from the original site.

Saving the same page again updates your existing copy instead of creating a duplicate.

> **Note: Platform pages**
>
> Posts on X, Reddit, Instagram, TikTok, and GitHub are captured through their own save, bookmark, and star buttons. **Save page** is for everything else on the web.


## Saving an image

1. **Right-click the image**

   Choose **Save image to Stashr**.

2. **Grant access on first use**

   The first time, Chrome prompts once for broader site access. If you decline, image saving still works on many sites but not all.

3. **Look for the toast**

   A "Saved to Stashr" toast appears in the top right for a couple of seconds.


Stashr copies the image file to its own storage. If the image cannot be fetched, nothing is saved, so you never get broken clips.

### Image limits and errors

Errors appear as a small toast in the top right of the page:

| Message | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| Image is too large to save (20 MB max) | The image is over the 20 MB limit |
| That link isn't an image | The target is not an image |
| This image can't be saved | Stashr could not save this image |
| Stashr needs page access to save this image | Grant the site access and try again |

## Saving a selection

Select text on the page, right-click, and choose **Save selection to Stashr**. The selected text is saved as a bookmark.

> **Note: Restricted pages**
>
> On restricted pages like Chrome's own pages or PDFs, the confirmation toast may not appear, but the save still goes through.


## Web clip cards

In your library, saved pages use the article card with the cover image, and the detail view shows the site, byline, and read time. Image and selection clips show the capture date. All of them link back to the source page.
