How to Highlight Images on The Web with Glasp (YouTube)

Step 1: Open an Article that Contains an Image

Make sure that you logged in to the Glasp account on the Chrome extension. Open any article you want to save an image. We use Glasp's page as an example.

Mouse over the image and right-click it. It shows an option, Highlight Image, so click it to save the image.

Note: Glasp is a social web highlighter, so the image is saved publicly in Glasp and is visible to anyone. If you'd like to save it privately, visit this page and upgrade the plan.
