# Create Clippings

Add clippings via URLs, files, browser extension, or CSV/Excel import


Clippings are the building blocks of your reports and analytics. Every article, post, or mention you capture becomes a clipping that AI enriches with data, metrics, and insights.

<Callout title="Automate with integrations">
  The fastest way to get clippings into aclipp is through [aclipp
  Monitoring](/help/monitoring) and [integrations](/help/integrations),
  including RSS feeds, Google Alerts, and professional monitoring services. Set
  them up once and new coverage flows in automatically.

## Ways to add clippings

Go to the [**Clippings**](app:~/clippings) tab in your project to get started.

### URLs

Paste one or more URLs and aclipp does the rest. This is the fastest way to add online coverage manually. Paste up to 50 URLs at once, and each one is automatically processed by AI to extract the article content, metadata, outlet, and media value.

### Files

Upload images or PDFs of print articles, screenshots, or any other coverage. AI reads the content and pre-fills the clipping details. You can upload multiple files at once.

### From scratch

Create a clipping without a URL or file. Useful for TV segments, radio mentions, or any coverage where you want to enter the details yourself.

### Browser extension

Capture coverage while browsing. Click the aclipp extension, take a screenshot (full-page or cropped), and the clipping is created with AI-extracted data. Learn more in the [Browser Extension](/help/clippings/browser-extension) guide.

### CSV & Excel import

Import many clippings at once by uploading a CSV or Excel file (.xlsx), or by pasting CSV data directly. AI maps your columns to the right fields automatically. You can double-click any cell to fix values before importing, and aclipp shows an overview of every new outlet and tag that will be created.

For all methods, AI automatically extracts metadata, detects [channels](/help/clippings/channels) and [outlets](/help/clippings/outlets), calculates [media value](/help/reference/media-value), and suggests [metrics](/help/clippings/custom-metrics) and [tags](/help/clippings/tags). You can always review and adjust before saving.
