Who it's for
Made for you if…
- You use snippets for replies, notes and sign-offs, mostly in Chrome.
- Your snippets use fill-in fields, menus and dates rather than rules and formulas.
- You pay for several browser tools and want one subscription for all of them.
Bring your data
Move from Text Blaze to Toolbox
Your snippets come over with their shortcuts and folders. Text fields, menus, dates, the clipboard and the cursor become Toolbox fields; anything else is flagged for you to check.
- Open the Text Blaze dashboard (dashboard.blaze.today) and choose Import/Export, then Export.
- Pick the folders to bring over, or all of them, and download the .json file.
- In Toolbox, open Templates on the web, press Import and drop the file.
- Check the preview, including any snippet marked for review, then import.
What doesn't
- Rules, formulas and other commands Toolbox can't convert: they stay in the text as written, and the preview lists them
- Formatting, images and tables: Toolbox templates are plain text, so rich snippets come over as their text
- Shortcuts that clash with one you already have: they're left blank for you to set
Import from Text Blaze You'll see what comes over before anything is added.
What to expect
Templates in Toolbox, next to Text Blaze
Where Toolbox is as good or better, and where it's different. Where Text Blaze does more, we say so.
As good or better
- Fill-in fields, menus, dates and the clipboard work the way you're used to (filling in fields needs Premium).
- A search-as-you-type picker in any text box, inside frames too, and you can turn insertion off on any site.
- A full manager on the web with folders and search, and an export to JSON whenever you like.
- The same subscription covers your screen recorder, PDF editor, screenshots and short links.
Different
- No if/then rules, formulas, images or tables in templates.
- No sharing templates with a team.
- Chrome only: Text Blaze also has Windows and Mac apps.
- On its own, Text Blaze costs less than Toolbox. Toolbox pays off when it replaces several apps.

Prices are the published US price of the leading app for each job, for one person, billed monthly where it's offered (two only sell yearly, so those show the yearly price per month), checked October 2026. Those apps differ from Toolbox in places, and some do more in their own field.
Questions
Something else? Write to us from the Contact link below.
Will my shortcuts still work?
Yes. Each snippet keeps its shortcut. The importer can add a ; or / in front of shortcuts that have no symbol, and a shortcut that clashes with one you already have is left blank so you can pick another.
What happens to snippets Toolbox can't fully convert?
They still come over, with the parts Toolbox can't convert left in the text as written. The preview lists them before you import, so you know which ones to tidy up.
How many snippets can I import on the free plan?
The free plan holds 10 templates, so the importer offers to bring in the first 10. Premium removes the limit and lets you fill in fields when you insert; on the free plan, each blank keeps its default.
Is Toolbox free?
Yes. Every tool works on the free plan, with a few limits. Premium removes the limits and adds features like full-page captures and cloud storage, for every tool at once. Pro adds signatures, Office conversions and bookmark cleanups on top. You only add a card if you decide to upgrade.
