NotebookLM Smart Importer

About

NotebookLM Smart Importer lets you import pages NotebookLM can’t and YouTube videos with timestamps —
so you can jump back to the exact moment, even from inside NotebookLM.

It works on paywalled and login-only pages you can already view, and turns them into clean, readable, NotebookLM-ready sources ✨

No failed imports. No missing structure. Just sources that actually work.

🔥 The problems it fixes

• Pages you can read, but NotebookLM can’t import
• Articles that lose images, tables, or structure
• YouTube videos that import without timestamps — or don’t import at all

🚀 What you get

• Import paywalled & login-only pages
Works on sites like Medium, Substack, docs, and member-only content — as long as you’re logged in.

• One-click import to NotebookLM
Save the current page or YouTube video instantly. No copy-paste.

• Clean Markdown extraction
Removes navigation bars, sidebars, footers, and comments — keeping only the core content.

• Proper rendering in NotebookLM
Images, tables, figures, and charts display correctly when you revisit the source.

• YouTube imports with clickable timestamps
Subtitles keep their timestamps, so you can jump back to the exact moment in the video.

• Choose which NotebookLM notebook to save to
Import sources into any of your NotebookLM notebooks (select the target notebook before saving).

❓ FAQ

• Does this bypass paywalls or restricted content?
No. It only imports content you already have legitimate access to after signing in.

• Why does this work when NotebookLM fails?
NotebookLM fetches pages remotely. This extension captures content directly from your browser session.

• Can I jump from NotebookLM back to a YouTube video?
Yes. Timestamps are preserved so you can jump to the exact point in the video.

Turn pages NotebookLM can’t import — and videos without timestamps — into usable sources.
