What is an Add Prefix/Suffix Tool?
An add prefix/suffix tool prepends and appends custom text to every line in a block. Developers use it to wrap lines in HTML tags, SQL values, or JSON strings. Writers use it to add bullet points, quotes, or numbering to lists without manual editing.
Our free online add prefix/suffix tool lets you type any prefix and suffix, enable auto-numbering, or pick from presets like HTML list items, brackets, and SQL values. Paste your list, apply formatting, and copy or download the result instantly in your browser.
What You Can Configure
- Custom prefix:Add any text before each line — tags, symbols, or identifiers.
- Custom suffix:Append any text after each line — closing tags, commas, or quotes.
- Auto-numbering:Prefix each line with 1., 2., 3. in sequence for ordered lists.
- HTML list preset:Wrap lines in <li> and </li> tags for quick unordered lists.

Prefix/Suffix Tips
- •One item per line: Each line is processed independently — use newlines to separate list items.
- •Presets are starting points: Click a preset then customize the prefix or suffix further.
- •Numbering adds before prefix: When numbering is enabled, the number appears before your custom prefix.
- •SQL preset trailing comma: The SQL values preset adds a comma after each line for INSERT lists.
- •Empty lines included: Blank lines receive the prefix and suffix too — remove them first if needed.
- •Pair with remove duplicates: Deduplicate your list before adding prefixes for cleaner output.
