Description
A format painter for Gmail. Copies a text format and applies that format to other text.
The Format Painter that Gmail never built.
You know the format painter in Word, Google Docs, and PowerPoint? The one that copies formatting with a single click? Gmail doesn't have one. Until now.
Format Copier lets you copy the exact formatting from any text in a Gmail draft and paste it onto other text - bold, font, size, color, highlight, italic, underline, strikethrough - without changing a single word.

HOW YOUR ACCOUNT WORKS
Your subscription is linked to your email address:
If Chrome knows your Google account, it's automatic - nothing to do
If not, the extension asks for your email once to link your account
Switching Chrome profiles? We auto-detect the change
Need it on multiple accounts? Email [email protected] for team pricing
TROUBLESHOOTING
Right-click menu not showing?
Refresh Gmail. Make sure you're on mail.google.com and editing a message in rich-text mode.
Nothing happens when I copy/paste?
Select text first. Format Copier only works on selected text within a Gmail compose window.
Says I'm not subscribed but I paid?
Open the Format Copier popup and enter the email you used when subscribing. This links your payment to your browser.
Conflicts with another extension?
Temporarily disable other extensions that modify Gmail's editor, then test again.
Still stuck? Click the extension popup and use the bug report form - tell us what happened and we'll help.
CURRENT LIMITATIONS
