Google Keep brings text formatting to the web

Google Keep has finally expanded the text formatting options to its web app, almost two years after making them available for Android users. The update for Google’s web-based note-taking service is now rolling out to Google Workspace, Workspace Individual, and personal Google account users and provides new options for customizing text and heading styles. It may take a few weeks for the text formatting options to appear for everyone.

The new formatting options are housed in the underlined “A” button found in the bottom left-hand corner of the updated Keep text editor. Clicking this will open a new toolbar that allows users to underline, bold, italicize, and remove formatting, alongside converting regular text into H1 or H2 headers.

The changes should help Google Keep users on the web to add more structure to their notes, making it easier to lay out and find specific information. And hopefully, all that formatting will now sync between the web and Android versions to avoid having to re-edit things.
