Text Formatter

Format selected text using a custom template before copying.

Copy selected text exactly the way you need it. Text Formatter turns any text you select on a web page into a reusable format. Write a template once, with placeholders for the page title, link, date and more, and copy every quote, citation or snippet with its source attached. HOW IT WORKS 1. Highlight text on any web page. 2. Click a numbered template in the small menu next to your selection, or press Alt + Shift + 1–9. 3. Paste the result anywhere. It is copied as rich text and plain text at the same time, so it works in Word, Google Docs, Notion, email and markdown editors alike. FEATURES • Your own templates: create as many as you need and reorder them with drag and drop • Placeholders: {selection}, {title}, {url}, {domain}, {date} and {time} • Visual editor with bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, headings and links, or switch to code view for full control over the HTML • Quick menu: your first three templates appear as buttons, the rest in a dropdown • Keyboard shortcuts: Alt + Shift + 1–9 copy with the matching template instantly • Confirmation on every copy, and a clear message if something goes wrong • Light and dark theme, or follow your system • Backup and restore: export all templates to a JSON file and import them in another browser • Templates sync across your devices through Chrome Sync EXAMPLE Select a sentence on an article, press Alt + Shift + 1, and paste: "A useful quote is more than a sentence."

Your templates stay in your browser (and in your own Chrome Sync, if enabled). Selected text stays on your device and is never sent anywhere. Made by an independent developer. If it saves you time, you can support the project with a coffee from the link in the extension.
