QUESTIONS · SOURCES AND LIMITS
How do I add multiple URLs to NotebookLM at once?
Short answer
NotebookLM accepts website links through its add-source dialog, a few at a time. To import a long list, paste the URLs, one per line or mixed into text, into the NotebookLM Ultra Exporter import center. It previews them, skips duplicates and imports them in the background. Free allows 5 per batch and 20 a day.
What to know
- YouTube links in the list are imported as video sources.
- Open browser tabs can be imported the same way.
- Pro removes the batch and daily limits.
Google changes these menus often. The item's own menu in your notebook shows what is built in today.
Free or Pro?
The basics are free; the advanced options listed on this page need Ultra Exporter Pro. Pro covers the extension only; it does not include a Google subscription or raise NotebookLM's own limits. Current prices are on the pricing page.
Frequently asked questions
Why did some links fail?
NotebookLM could not fetch them, usually because of a login, a block on automated access, or a page built entirely with scripts. Send the page text instead.
