How it works
Three steps. Infinite time saved.
Typsnip is designed to be invisible until you need it — then it's instant.
1
Create your shortcut
Open Typsnip, click "+ New", give it a keyword like sig and compose your full rich-text content in the editor.
2
Type it anywhere
Go to any website — Gmail, Outlook, LinkedIn, Notion, Slack. Click into any text field and type your shortcut keyword.
3
Press Ctrl+Space
Hit Ctrl+Space and your shortcut expands instantly into the full formatted text.
Features
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Typsnip is focused on doing one thing exceptionally well.
Rich text formatting
Bold, italic, underline, font size, text color, highlights, numbered lists, bullet points, links, and images. Your shortcuts look exactly how you want them.
Images in shortcuts
Embed images directly in your shortcuts. Perfect for signatures with logos, templates with diagrams, or any content that needs visuals. Available on paid plans.
Instant expansion
No menus, no clicking. Type your shortcut, press Ctrl+Space, and it expands in milliseconds. Completely non-intrusive to your workflow.
Cloud sync
Your shortcuts are saved to the cloud and available on every device you're logged into. Switch from laptop to desktop to phone seamlessly.
Works everywhere
Typsnip injects into every text field on every website — email clients, social media, CRMs, project tools, and plain text inputs alike.
Private & secure
Your shortcut content is stored in your personal account only. We never read, sell, or share your data. Secured by Firebase with industry-standard encryption.
No prefix required
Use any keyword you want — with or without a prefix like / or ;. Typsnip only expands when you press Ctrl+Space, so accidental triggers never happen.
Simple by design
Most productivity tools try to do everything. Typsnip does one thing — and does it instantly. No dashboards to navigate, no AI to prompt, no workflow to redesign. Create a shortcut, type it, done. That's the whole app.

I send 80+ emails a day in customer support. Typsnip cut my response time in half. I set up 20 shortcuts in the first hour and never looked back.

My email signature used to take me 30 seconds every time. Now it's one keystroke. Sounds small but across 50 emails a day that's real time saved.

The rich text support is what sold me. Other expanders give you plain text. With Typsnip my templates look exactly like I designed them — bold, colours, lists and all.

FAQ
Questions answered
Does Typsnip work in Gmail and Google Docs?
Yes. Typsnip works in any text field in Chrome — Gmail, Google Docs, Outlook, LinkedIn, Notion, Slack, Salesforce, and thousands of other sites. If you can click into a text area, Typsnip works there.
What does "rich text" mean exactly?
Rich text means your shortcuts can include bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, different font sizes, text colors, background highlights, bullet lists, numbered lists, clickable links, and even images. Plain text shortcuts like those in basic expanders look like stripped-down emails — Typsnip shortcuts look like you actually wrote them.
Will my shortcuts trigger accidentally while I'm typing?
No. Typsnip only expands when you press Ctrl+Space after your shortcut keyword. It will never trigger mid-sentence or while you're typing something else. You're always in full control.
Can I use it on multiple computers?
Yes. All your shortcuts are saved to the cloud and synced to every device you sign into. Install Typsnip on your work laptop, home desktop, and they all share the same shortcuts automatically.
Can I cancel my Pro subscription anytime?
Absolutely. You can cancel anytime from the Account tab inside the extension. Your Pro access continues until the end of the current billing period, then your account reverts to the Free tier. No penalties, no questions asked.
Is my shortcut content private?
Yes. Your shortcuts are stored in a private database tied to your account only. Typsnip employees cannot read your shortcuts. We do not sell or share your data with third parties. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
What is Typsnip?
Typsnip is a Chrome extension that lets you save frequently used text as shortcuts. Type the shortcut keyword anywhere in Chrome, press Ctrl+Space, and it instantly expands into your full formatted text — complete with bold, italic, colors, lists, and images.
Are my shortcuts private?
Yes. Your shortcuts are stored in your personal account only. We never read, share, or sell your content. Each account's data is isolated and secured by Firebase with industry-standard encryption.
Does Typsnip use AI?
No. Typsnip is intentionally simple — it expands exactly what you wrote, nothing more. No AI generation, no suggestions, no unpredictable outputs. Just your words, ready when you need them.
Is Typsnip safe to install?
Yes. Typsnip only reads text fields on pages where you actively use it. It does not collect browsing data, track websites you visit, or send any page content to our servers. Only your shortcut content — which you create — is stored in your account.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 40 shortcuts with full rich text support on 1 device, with no time limit. There is also a Free with Ads plan that gives you 70 shortcuts.
Can I share shortcuts with my team?
Yes — multiple people can log into the same account and share the same shortcuts. The number of simultaneous devices depends on your plan, up to 30 on Pro Enterprise.
What happens to my shortcuts if I downgrade my plan?
Your shortcuts are never deleted. If you have more shortcuts than your new plan allows, the oldest ones stay active and the rest are temporarily deactivated. They reactivate instantly if you upgrade again.
Do you offer refunds?
We do not offer refunds for partial billing periods. If you cancel, you retain full access until your period ends. In the event of a full service shutdown, paid subscribers are eligible for a prorated refund.
How do I create my first shortcut?
Click the Typsnip icon in your Chrome toolbar to open the editor. Click + New shortcut, enter a short keyword (e.g. sig), give it a name, type your content in the editor, and click Save. Your shortcut is ready to use immediately.
How do I expand a shortcut?
Click into any text field on any website — Gmail compose, LinkedIn message box, a support ticket, anywhere. Type your shortcut keyword (e.g. sig) and press Ctrl+Space. Your full formatted text appears instantly in place of the keyword.
Can I format text with bold, colors, and other styles?
Yes. The Typsnip editor supports bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, text color, highlight, font family, font size, numbered lists, bullet points, indentation, and links. Image upload is available on paid plans. Use the toolbar above the editor to apply formatting just like in a word processor.
How do I use labels to organize my shortcuts?
Labels are available on paid plans. Open the editor and click Manage labels above the shortcuts list. Choose a color, type a label name, and click Add. To assign a label to a shortcut, open it and click + Label in the top bar. Filter your shortcuts by clicking the label buttons above the list.
What is the image size limit and how does auto-resize work?
Images must be under 500 KB. When you select an image that exceeds the limit, Typsnip shows a warning with the actual file size. Click Auto-resize & insert and Typsnip will automatically compress and scale the image to fit under 500 KB, then insert it. Image upload is available on paid plans only.
