How to use Add Quotes to Lines
- 1. Paste your list of lines. Paste a multi-line list into the input pane, such as filenames or product names, one entry per line, that you want each wrapped in quotes.
- 2. Pick a quote style. Choose Double, Single, Curly, Guillemets or Backtick from the Quotes setting to decide which pair of marks wraps around each line of the list.
- 3. Copy the quoted lines. Copy the result, with every line individually quoted, and paste it into a config file, YAML list or code block that expects each entry quoted.
When to use Add Quotes to Lines
Add Quotes to Lines wraps every line of a multi-line list in a pair of quotes. Reach for Add Quotes to Lines when a config file, script or code block needs each item of a list individually quoted rather than the whole block at once.
- Formatting a YAML or config list. A configuration format requires each string entry in a list to be quoted, and this wraps a plain list of filenames or names accordingly in one pass.
- Building a multi-line SQL VALUES list. You have a column of string values and need each one quoted on its own line before assembling a SQL INSERT statement with multiple VALUES rows.
- Preparing quoted arguments for a script. A batch of filenames with spaces needs each one individually quoted so a shell script treats every line as a single argument rather than splitting it.
Examples
Quote each line
Input
apple banana
Output
"apple" "banana"
About the Add Quotes to Lines tool
Add Quotes to Lines is a free online tool that works entirely inside your web browser. Wrap every line in a pair of quotes. Because the processing happens on your own device, nothing you enter is uploaded, logged or stored anywhere.
This page is one of 211 Text utilities on EditSafely. Each one does a single job well, and all of them follow the same rule: your input stays on your machine.
You can shape the output with the Quotes setting, and the result refreshes the moment you change it. A worked example further down the page shows exactly what the tool produces for a real input.
Because nothing leaves your device, the tool is suitable for sensitive content such as internal documents, credentials or customer data. It also responds instantly, since every keystroke is handled on your own machine rather than by a remote API.
Frequently asked questions
Does Add Quotes to Lines cost anything?
Yes, it is completely free. All 2,658 tools on EditSafely work without an account, a subscription or usage limits.
Is it safe to paste sensitive or confidential data?
No data leaves your device. The whole tool is JavaScript that runs inside your browser tab, so there is no upload, no server-side processing and no log of what you did. If you disconnect from the internet after the page loads, it keeps working.
How much text can I process at once?
There is no fixed limit. Because the work happens on your own device rather than on a shared server, the practical ceiling is your machine's memory, which comfortably handles inputs far larger than typical online tools allow.
Do I need to sign up or install anything?
Nothing to install and no account needed. Open the page in any up-to-date browser, including on a phone or tablet, and the tool is ready.
How do I use the result?
The output panel has a one-click copy button, and you can keep refining the input while you work; the result updates in place as you type.
