Free Kindle My Clippings Viewer

Upload or paste your Kindle My Clippings.txt file, preview highlights and notes, enrich books with cover images and ISBNs, then export clean JSON or CSV.

Enrich Book Metadata

Parse My Clippings.txt into clean book data

Kindle stores highlights, notes, and bookmarks in a plain text file called My Clippings.txt. This viewer turns that file into structured data you can search, inspect, copy, and export without manually cleaning each clipping.

Export Kindle highlights as JSON or CSV

Choose JSON when you want books as the main entries with highlights nested under each book. Choose CSV when you want one spreadsheet row per highlight with the book metadata repeated on every row.

Enrich books with covers and ISBNs

Optional Google Books enrichment can add cover image URLs, ISBNs, publisher, publication date, language, and page count. That makes the export more useful for catalogs, scripts, spreadsheets, and research workflows.

Private by default

The clipping text is parsed in your browser. When enrichment is enabled, Memex sends only unique book titles and authors to look up metadata, then attaches the returned book data locally before creating the export.

Useful for research libraries

A cleaned Kindle highlight export is easier to import into spreadsheets, databases, note apps, and Memex research workflows. You keep the quote, location, page, date, type, and book context together.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find my Kindle My Clippings.txt file?

Connect your Kindle to your computer with USB, open the Kindle drive, then look for My Clippings.txt in the documents folder.

Can I export Kindle highlights as JSON?

Yes. The JSON export groups entries by book and places highlights, notes, and bookmarks under a highlights key for each book.

Can I export Kindle highlights as CSV?

Yes. The CSV export creates one row per clipping and repeats book metadata, including enriched fields like ISBN and cover URL, on each highlight row.

What does Google Books enrichment add?

When a confident match is found, enrichment can add cover image URL, ISBN, publisher, published date, page count, language, and Google Books links.

Are my Kindle highlights sent to the server?

No. Highlight text is parsed in your browser. If enrichment is enabled, only unique book titles and authors are sent to the anonymous enrichment function.

Does it work with notes and bookmarks?

Yes. Highlights, notes, and bookmarks from My Clippings.txt are preserved. Bookmarks often have no text content, so their metadata is still exported.

What if a book cover or ISBN is missing?

The export still works. Missing covers or ISBNs usually mean Google Books did not return one confident title and author match for that book.
