How to use Add Quotes to Text
- 1. Paste the text to wrap. Paste the whole passage, quote or phrase you want enclosed in quotation marks into the input pane, exactly as it should appear inside the quotes.
- 2. Pick a quote style. Choose Double, Single, Curly, Guillemets or Backtick from the Quotes setting, matching the punctuation style your document, code or region typically uses.
- 3. Copy the quoted text. Copy the wrapped result from the output pane and paste it into your article, chat message or code, complete with the opening and closing marks.
When to use Add Quotes to Text
Add Quotes to Text wraps an entire passage in a pair of quotation marks in the style you choose. It saves the fiddly job of typing matching opening and closing marks by hand, especially for curly quotes or guillemets.
- Formatting a pull quote for an article. A magazine-style pull quote looks right with curly typographic quotes rather than straight ones, and this wraps the highlighted sentence in the correct opening and closing marks.
- Quoting text in a European-style document. A French or German document conventionally uses guillemets instead of double quotes, and choosing that style here wraps the sentence the way local readers expect.
- Wrapping a value for a code snippet. You need to paste a string literal into code and want it correctly wrapped in double quotes without manually adding the marks at each end.
Examples

About the Add Quotes to Text tool
Add Quotes to Text does its work locally, right in the browser. Wrap the whole text in a pair of quotes. There is no upload step, no queue and no account, and your data never travels over the network.
It belongs to the Text Tools collection on EditSafely, a set of 211 small, focused Text utilities that share the same instant, private workspace.
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.
Running locally also makes the tool fast and dependable: results appear as you type or drop a file, there is no server outage that can take it down mid-task, and confidential data can be processed without a second thought.
Frequently asked questions
Does Add Quotes to Text 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.
