What Add CSV Quotes can do:

Add CSV Quotes is perfect for preparing clean, quoted data for systems that require strict CSV formatting. It ensures all fields are wrapped in quotes, escaping any internal quotes along the way. This is especially helpful when dealing with text fields containing commas, quotes, or inconsistent spacing. You can toggle whether to clean up whitespace and whether to quote everything or just values that need it. It’s lightweight, fast, and entirely in-browser nothing gets uploaded. Great for prepping files for databases, APIs, or data tools that reject unquoted text.

Example:

Before:

name,age,city
Alice,30,New York
Bob,25,Los Angeles

After:

"name","age","city"
"Alice","30","New York"
"Bob","25","Los Angeles"

Common Use Cases:

Use this when prepping exports for import into strict systems like SQL, CRM tools, or APIs that expect cleanly quoted CSVs. It’s also great for ensuring text fields containing commas or quotes won’t break during parsing.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

If your fields include commas or line breaks, run Validate CSV first to avoid parsing errors. And after quoting, Change CSV Quote Character lets you customize the quote style for different systems.
