Frequently asked questions

Does this work with Kindle for iOS or Android?

The mobile apps do not create a My Clippings.txt file. This tool needs the file from a physical Kindle e-reader.

Is my highlights file uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.

Is this a Readwise replacement?

For one-off exports, yes. Readwise adds continuous sync, spaced-repetition and Kindle iOS/Android support that a browser tool cannot match — but if you just want your highlights out, this is free.

What about duplicate highlights?

The parser groups by book and de-duplicates identical highlight text within the same book.
