Great tool for grabbing images off the web to be easily used in G-Suite or other online applications.
As we say goodbye to 2016 and look forward to a nice long winter break, I thought I would share another easy to use Chrome extension that will make grabbing images off the web easier. The extension is called “Clipular” and it will run directly from your Chrome extensions.
Step 1: Add the Clipular Extension to your Chrome browser
Login to your Google account and go to the web store (here is a reminder of how to access the webstore). Search for Clipular and choose “Add to Chrome”, Then “add the extension”. Be sure that you are adding the extension, not the app.

Step 2: Using Clipular
Once Clipular has been added, you will see a teal box with the letter “c” in it sitting in the upper right side of your browser window. You can now use this extension to grab any image off a webpage or to copy an entire screenshot. Once you find an image or page that you want to copy, click the “c”. The scissors will allow you to grab a single image and the camera will allow you to take a picture of the entire page. If you click on the camera a screenshot is taken and saved. If you use the scissors you will have to click on the image you want to copy then it will be saved.

Step 3: Using the images you have saved
All of the images and screenshots you save are stored in the “My Clips” area (green notebook). From the “My Clips” area you can download the images, copy and paste the images to use in another application, or if you have the “Save to Google Drive” extension you can use it to get a copy of the image saved in your Google Drive.

If you would like to see a video of this tool in action, I have created a demo for you to watch. Please note - you
