User reviews

OneNote Web Clipper is a popular and easy-to-use tool for saving web content to OneNote notebooks, praised for its usefulness and speed across platforms. However, since early 2025, many users report serious issues including frequent failures clipping PDFs, persistent sign-in bugs causing the need to reinstall the extension repeatedly, and annoying UI glitches like blinking login windows. Problems affect personal Microsoft accounts more than work accounts. Despite these bugs, users find it still superior to alternatives for web clipping and note-taking.

Pros

Very useful and efficient for clipping and saving web content, including PDFs, to OneNote notebooks.
Easy to use with customization options for clipping content such as text and images.
Reliable and fast for personal knowledge management and note-taking over many years.
Supports multiple platforms including Windows 11, macOS, and mobile devices.
Helps organize notes with features that improve searchability over time.

Cons

Since early 2025, plagued with frequent malfunction issues, especially with clipping PDFs on web pages.
Persistent bugs related to sign-in requiring repeated extension removal and reinstallation to temporarily fix.
Extension window or sign-in prompt keeps blinking or flashing, disrupting usability.
Issues more prominent when logged in with personal Microsoft accounts, while work/school accounts seem more stable.
Formatting problems after clipping, with copied text sometimes losing original formatting.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

OneNote Web Clipper requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.

OneNote Web Clipper has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
