Frequently asked questions
Is it free to add a web page to NotebookLM in one click?
Yes. It is a basic import method. Free allows 20 successful source imports per local day and 5 items per batch; Pro removes both limits.
Is the page added as a link or as text?
By default the link is sent so NotebookLM fetches the page itself. For pages NotebookLM cannot reach, send the extracted text instead; see add a page behind a login.
Does importing count toward the NotebookLM source limit?
Yes. Every imported item becomes a source in the notebook and counts toward its source limit, which depends on your Google plan. To free up slots, see merge sources into one.
