# Web clips

> Save 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 two menu items

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

- **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 an image

<Steps>
  <Step title="Right-click the image">
    Choose **Save image to Stashr**.
  </Step>
  <Step title="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.
  </Step>
  <Step title="Look for the toast">
    A "Saved to Stashr" toast appears in the top right for a couple of seconds.
  </Step>
</Steps>

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.

<Callout type="note" title="Restricted pages">
On restricted pages like Chrome's own pages or PDFs, the confirmation toast may not appear, but the save still goes through.
</Callout>

## Web clip cards

In your library, web clip cards show the capture date and link back to the source page.
