Google Keep launches text formatting for the web

One of the best things about writing on a computer versus by hand is all the things you can do with text, from bolding a HARSH word to italicizing a quippy point. Now, Google’s note-taking app, Keep, is adding these rich text formatting options and more to its web app. The text options have been available for Keep users on Android devices since late 2023.

Anyone who uses Keep on the web will be able to bold, italicize and underline their words. They will also be able to create specific sections using the heading one (H1) and heading two (H2) buttons. All of these formatting options will be available by clicking on the underlined A in the editors left-hand corner. It’s a simple but beneficial update for anyone who wants to customize text from the web.

Google is currently rolling out this update to Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains, with the latter getting new features at least a week later than the former. The rich text formatting options are available to people with an individual Google account, Workspace Individual Subscribers and Google Workspace users.
