Mark What Matters
Reading something important? Highlight it. Different colors for different purposes. Come back later and your highlights are still there.
On a web page, select text and choose a color from the Highlighter palette.

Your Highlights Stick Around
Highlights save automatically. Close the tab, come back tomorrow, they're still there. Return to a page you highlighted weeks ago and see exactly what you marked.
You can also export your highlights if you need them in another format.
Where It Works
Websites: Any article, blog post, or web content.
PDFs: The web Highlighter palette does not run inside Helperbird’s PDF Reader. Use PDF drawing tools or text boxes there.
Turn on Highlighter in All Features, then select text and choose a color from its palette.
Who Uses This
Students marking up research and study materials.
Researchers color-coding sources and findings.
Professionals highlighting key information in reports.
Anyone who wants to remember what was important on a page.
Is This Free?
Highlighting needs Helperbird Pro. Free users can still view saved highlights when Highlighter is on, but the creation palette requires Pro.
