Search, find, and highlight text on the pages you browse

Browser extension to search, find, highlight, and navigate text on webpages and searchable PDFs.

Choose from differentfiltering options, set unique colors, and search webpages and searchable PDFs with multiple queries

User-friendly Interface

Usability plays a vital role in our design philosophy. We have made a conscious effort to minimize distractions and emphasize what matters most.

A wide range of colors helps you navigate through large amounts of text on long webpages, reports, and searchable PDFs.

We offer you the freedom of choice to pick your favorite colorsfor each query!

Instant results

Highlighty notifies you when an open page contains your search terms.

It works for both single and multiple queries, with text color adaptation based on the WCAG 2.0 specification.

Say goodbye to manual text searches on websites; the extension does the work for you automatically and now extends the same workflow into searchable PDFs in Highlighty's PDF Search.

Keep related PDFs open together in the same PDF Search workspace and reuse the same active query list across them.

If the notifications or highlights become a distraction, you can easily disable them with hotkeys.

Flexible Customization

You can fine-tune your searches by adding criteria, adjusting search rules, and tailoring your experience within the extension.

Switch between the Basic and Advanced settings views based on your preference. If you prefer a streamlined experience, stick with the Basic view.

For those interested in Analytics, we also offer a local analytics view with export options to help you review your search activity, while PDF Search brings the same multi-query workflow to CVs, studies, reports, and contracts with a streamlined sidebar that keeps only document-relevant controls.

The choice is yours. Customize and refine the available settings to match your current needs. These options take effect immediately and apply on your next search or refresh.

Useful across many sites 👣

Use Highlighty across forums, email, marketplaces, documentation, and many other text-heavy webpages, then carry the same query lists into searchable PDFs such as CVs, studies, reports, and contracts. PDF Search can keep multiple PDFs open together and also accepts local files by picker or drag and drop. It currently works on files with selectable text; scanned, image-only, and locked PDFs are not supported.
