Text Blaze

Text Blaze is the Chrome extension for text snippets: you define short abbreviations, type \email and it expands into your standard text. It works everywhere in the browser — Gmail, Notion, LinkedIn, any text field — without needing to use the clipboard.

Text Blaze is a Google Chrome extension that lets you create expandable text snippets, also called text shortcuts or templates. The principle is simple: you define a short abbreviation (like "/email" or "/sig") and the full text that should replace it. Every time you type the abbreviation in any text field in the browser — Gmail, Google Docs, Notion, LinkedIn, Twitter, any site — the text automatically expands into the full content. Snippets support placeholders — fields you can fill in before expansion — dropdowns for choosing variants, formulas for calculating dates and dynamic text, and variables. You can share snippets with the team to standardize responses. Text Blaze only works on Chrome (and other Chromium-based browsers); it's not available as a desktop app or for Firefox/Safari. The free plan includes 20 snippets, more than enough for personal use.

For professionals, customer service, salespeople and anyone who often types the same texts — reply emails, signatures, FAQ answers — and wants to automate these repetitive typings in the browser.

Text Blaze has a free plan with 20 snippets. The Pro plan starts at $2.99 per month billed annually ($3.99 monthly) and includes unlimited snippets, advanced features such as forms with placeholders, formulas and conditions. The Business plan adds shared team snippet management. It's one of the most affordable pro plans among productivity extensions.
