## Exporting Kindle Clippings with Klipps

*You export your Kindle clippings by connecting your Kindle device to a computer and running Klipps.*  

**Note:** You can edit the default **Klipps** behavior by using dedicated arguments. For more information, see [Accessing Klipps Help](https://github.com/rafalkaron/Klipps/wiki/Accessing-Klipps-Help).

### Before you begin

  * Ensure that you highlighted some quotes while reading on your Kindle.

  * Ensure that your Kindle is connected to your computer with a cable.  

    **Important:** Some third-party USB cables may prevent your computer from correctly discovering your Kindle.

### Procedure

1. Download the latest **Klipps** version for your operating system. See [Klipps Releases](https://github.com/rafalkaron/Klipps/releases).

2. Unzip **Klipps**.

3. Double-click the downloaded **Klipps** executable.  

**Result:** Klipps opens in a **Terminal** window and tries to automatically detect the clippings file on the connected Kindle device.

4. If a prompt appears, enter the clippings file path manually.

5. If needed, accept every security prompt. See [Accepting macOS Security Prompts](https://github.com/rafalkaron/Klipps/wiki/Accepting-macOS-Security-Prompts) or [Accepting Windows Security Prompts](https://github.com/rafalkaron/Klipps/wiki/Accepting-Windows-Security-Prompts).  

**Result:** Klipps exports the Kindle clippings file to an HTML file and saves the HTML file on your desktop.  

1. Close the **Klipps** window.

### Next Steps

* Safely eject your Kindle device from your computer.
