Save the web. Own your files.

The TagSpaces Web Clipper saves web pages, articles, and screenshots as plain files on your device — not in someone else's cloud.

Free & open source · No account required · Works offline

Your files, your rules

Files, not databases

Every clip is a standard file — HTML, MHTML, Markdown, or PNG. Open them in any app, on any device, forever.

No cloud, no account

Nothing is uploaded. Your clips stay on your computer. No login, no sync, no tracking.

Portable by design

Copy your clips to a USB drive, NAS, or cloud folder. They work without TagSpaces or any other app.

Four ways to save

Pick the format that fits your workflow. Every option creates a plain file you own.

Clean article (HTML / Markdown)

Strips ads, navigation, and clutter. Keeps the readable content. Perfect for research articles, blog posts, and documentation.

Full page (MHTML/PDF)

A pixel-perfect offline copy — layout, images, styles, everything preserved in a single file. The closest thing to "downloading a website."

Screenshot (PNG)

A full-page screenshot saved as an image. Useful for visual references, design inspiration, or pages that resist clipping.

Bookmark (URL file)

A lightweight bookmark with a preview thumbnail. The smallest footprint — just a link and an image, stored as a local file.

Works with everything

The Web Clipper creates standard files — HTML, MHTML, Markdown, PNG, and URL. They work with TagSpaces, but they also work without it.

Open them in any browser, any text editor, any file manager. Back them up with any tool. Keep them for decades.

No vendor lock-in. No proprietary format. No subscription to cancel.

Smart Metadata Capture

Every saved page automatically includes the original URL, capture date, and a screenshot. When clipping from Google Maps or OpenStreetMap, geo-coordinates are extracted and added as tags — with Plus Codes support for precise location identification.
  • Automatic context — URL, date, time, and screenshot saved with every clip
  • Geo-tagging — extracts coordinates from mapping services
  • Plus Codes — simplified location tagging without traditional addresses
