A bookmarklet is simply javascript code.
eg.) javascript: alert('Hi!');void(0);

You can create a bookmark in your browser and add that code for it. Whenever
you click on that bookmarklet, it will then execute that code on the current
page and in this particular case alert a message saying 'Hi!'. It's pretty
simple, hope you understand.

Thanks & Regards,
