Bring Focus to Your Data Highlighter for Google Sheets™ is a smart, lightweight Chrome extension that enhances your spreadsheet experience by visually emphasizing the row and column of the active cell. Whether you're working with large datasets, presenting to a team, or simply trying to stay oriented in a dense grid, this tool adds clarity and precision to your workflow. With subtle yet effective highlights, navigating your sheets becomes faster, smoother, and far more intuitive.

Stay Oriented, Stay Efficient In complex spreadsheets, it’s easy to lose track of where you are—especially when scanning across dozens of rows and columns. This extension solves that problem by automatically highlighting the entire row and column of the currently selected cell, but only when that cell is visible on screen. It’s a small visual cue that makes a big difference, helping you stay focused and reducing errors caused by misreading or misalignment.

Customize Your Highlighting Experience Not all spreadsheets are created equal, and neither are your preferences. Highlighter for Google Sheets™ lets you choose your own highlight color and opacity, so you can tailor the experience to match your theme, accessibility needs, or personal taste. Whether you prefer a soft pastel glow or a bold contrast, the extension adapts to your style without interfering with the sheet’s content or formatting.

Keyboard Shortcuts for Power Users For those who love speed and control, the extension includes handy keyboard shortcuts to toggle highlighting on and off. This makes it easy to switch modes while working, presenting, or reviewing data. You can quickly disable highlighting when it’s not needed, then re-enable it with a keystroke when precision matters. It’s designed to stay out of your way while being instantly accessible.

Per-Sheet Settings That Stick Every spreadsheet is different, and Highlighter for Google Sheets™ respects that. The extension automatically saves your highlight preferences on a per-sheet basis, so you don’t have to reconfigure settings every time you open a new document. Whether you're working across multiple projects or collaborating with others, your visual preferences follow you—quietly and reliably.

Simple, Seamless, and Effective Installation is quick, and the extension works immediately with no setup required. It integrates directly into the Google Sheets interface without disrupting any native functionality. You’ll notice the difference the moment you start using it: cleaner navigation, better focus, and a more pleasant spreadsheet experience.
