Highlightly
Turn articles and PDFs into source-backed social graphics
About Highlightly
Highlightly is a web app for social teams, content marketers, writers and founders who want social graphics built from real source material. You can paste an article URL, upload a PDF or document, drop in raw text, use a YouTube transcript, or search for articles. The app pulls out hooks, quotes, statistics and key points, then pre-fills cards, carousels, screenshots and captions that you can edit.
What sets it apart is the focus on attribution. Extracted quotes and stats stay tied to the original source, and a screenshot workspace keeps the source page beside the generated cards so posts are easy to verify. A brand kit covering logo, colors, typography and watermark is applied to every asset, and exports come in several proportions for platforms such as LinkedIn, X, Instagram and YouTube.
The site positions Highlightly as the step between research tools and design canvases, turning verified material into finished visuals and platform captions. It advertises 20 free credits on signup with no credit card required.
