The Gather Clipper is a Chrome extension that lets you save products directly from vendor websites into your Gather projects. Product details, images, attachments, and all. This guide covers everything you need to know.

Installing the Clipper

The Clipper is available as a free Chrome extension. Install it from the Chrome Web Store and sign in with your Gather account to get started.

Clipping Products from Vendor Sites

Once the Clipper is installed, you can save product details from almost any vendor website directly into Gather — including name, description, price, and images.

Saving Product Images

You can save images from a product page directly to an item in your project. If the Clipper cannot automatically grab the image you want, try the Capture feature below.

Saving Attachments

The Clipper can also save PDFs, tearsheets, and other attachments from a product page to an item in your library or project.

Capture: Saving Any Part of a Page

Capture lets you select and save any area of a vendor page as an image. This is useful when the Clipper cannot automatically grab the right photo, or when you want to save a specific detail or lifestyle shot.

Image Editing

After clipping or capturing an image, you can edit it directly from the Clipper before saving — crop, resize, convert to grayscale, remove backgrounds, or upscale low-resolution images.

Adding Suppliers

When you clip a product, you can add the vendor as a supplier in your Gather Contacts at the same time.

Customizing Your Settings

You can adjust default behaviors for the Clipper, including which project or area products are saved to by default.
