Right-click on a webpage or selected text to use the **web-clipper** functionality. There you can also create a new note with a **screenshot** of the current webpage.

::: warning Info
If the web clipper doesn't work, please check if the QOwnNotes desktop application is
running, and the Web Companion browser extension is configured with the security token.

Also, make sure you accepted the consent dialog, when you first clicked the extension
icon in the browser toolbar.

If you are using Firefox, you also need to make sure that you have turned on the optional
permission `Access your data for all websites` in the *Permission* extension settings,
otherwise you might get an error `TypeError: chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab is not a function`.

The web clipper is also scriptable! Take a look at the [websocketRawDataHook](../scripting/hooks.md#websocketrawdatahook) if you want to control what you clip from webpages.
