Features & Capabilities

Acting as both a bookmark manager and a read-later tool, it allows you to save entire pages or specific selected sections of text and images.

With Readeck, you can keep your favorite articles and web pages preserved easily and access them anytime. Whether you want to save a whole article or just a snippet, including images, Readeck makes it simple and efficient, supporting multiple selections at once. This extension streamlines your reading experience and content organization right from your browser.

Is Readeck Safe?

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.

Readeck requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
