How to autofill any form in Chrome

Five minutes from install to your first automatic fill. Prefer video? Watch the 2-minute walkthrough on YouTube.

1. Install EchoFill

Add EchoFill from the Chrome Web Store. It also works in Microsoft Edge (Edge Add-ons) and Firefox (Firefox Add-ons). Pin it to your toolbar (puzzle-piece icon → pin) so it's one click away. There's no account to create.

2. Record your first form

1. Open any web form you fill regularly and fill it in the normal way.
2. Click the EchoFill icon, then Record this form.
3. EchoFill shows how many fields it captured. Choose Create a new profile and give it a name you'll recognise later ("Job applications", "Home address", "Permit details").
4. Leave Fill automatically next time I open this site ticked if you want the form to fill itself on your next visit. Chrome will ask you to allow that one site. Untick it if you'd rather fill with a click.
5. Click Save.

EchoFill never records passwords, card numbers, security codes or Social Security numbers, even if they were on the page.

3. Fill it next time

Automatically: on sites you approved, just open the page. Filled fields are outlined in green and a small notice offers Undo.

With one click: open EchoFill and click Autofill. If you have several profiles, EchoFill ranks them by how many answers fit the page and selects the best one. You can also press Alt+Shift+F to open EchoFill, then Enter to fill with the best match.

EchoFill fills only empty fields by default, so it never overwrites something you've typed. Always review a form before you submit it.

4. Multi-page forms

Record the first page as usual. On sites with automatic filling on, EchoFill saves the answers you type on later pages as you go. Next time, each step fills. It never changes an answer that's already saved; to update one, record the page again and choose Update an existing profile, or edit it in Settings.

5. Manage your answers

Open Settings from the EchoFill popup (Manage profiles). There you can:

• Edit or delete any saved answer, or rename a profile.
• Set per-profile options: overwrite filled fields, wait a second or two before filling on slow sites, turn automatic filling or learning on or off.
• Export everything to JSON (full backup) or CSV (open in Excel or Google Sheets, edit, import back).
• Restore an earlier version from Restore points if you deleted something by mistake.
• List the sites EchoFill may open on its own, and remove any of them.

6. If a field doesn't fill

• It wasn't recorded. Fill it by hand, then Record → Update existing profile.
• It filled, then cleared itself. The site resets fields while loading. In the profile's settings, set Wait before filling to 1–2 seconds.
• The site changed its design. EchoFill matches by label, name and placeholder, which survives most redesigns. If not, record the form once more.
• An unusual control. Pro's custom field targeting lets you point EchoFill at a specific element. Or tell us the page and we'll look.

7. Going Pro

Free includes unlimited fills and three profiles. Pro adds unlimited profiles, Universal fields (fills sites you've never recorded by understanding what each field asks for), snippets you can insert anywhere from the right-click menu, date variables like {today+14}, and custom field targeting. Upgrade from Settings → Plan. It's $2.99 a month, $19.99 a year or $29.99 once, with a 14-day refund.
