Padlet Mini: Save web content directly to boards

There are two types of internet users in the world: tab purists and tab hoarders. I am a tab hoarder. Once, Safari told me I had too many tabs open to load a new one. Instead of closing some, I downloaded Chrome just to open that single link. To this day, my Safari is still frozen in time.

Over the years, I have used many different apps to save and curate all the interesting internet content I come across. I’ve tried bookmarking tools, note-taking apps, and even a physical notebook. None of them stuck.

Now I use one tool, and that tool is Padlet. I have boards for anything worth saving: articles, recommendations, ideas I don’t want to lose.

With Padlet Mini, our completely rebuilt browser extension, you can save internet content in seconds without breaking your flow. No copying, no pasting, no switching tabs. Whether you’re a tab purist or a tab hoarder, you’ll never lose a good link again.

Save content two ways

Padlet Mini gives you two methods to capture web content.

Method 1: Full page capture

From any webpage, click the Padlet Mini extension icon, and the link gets added to a post. Perfect for capturing articles, blog posts, or any full webpage.

Method 2: Specific content

Right-click any text, link, or image on a webpage, then go to "Padlet Mini > Add to board" to capture just that specific content. Ideal for grabbing individual quotes, photos, or links.

Both methods open a new tab with a simple two-step process. First, select the padlet to post on. Choose from recents or bookmarks, search for a padlet, or create a brand new padlet on the spot. Second, finalize your post. You can post the content as-is or customize with text and post color.
