Our "Add Prefix and/or Suffix" tool performs the task of inserting a prefix and/or suffix to each line of your text. You can choose to add either a prefix or suffix, or both. This tool is pretty simple and intuitive to use. As you already know, the prefix comes at the beginning of the line and the suffix at the end. The prefix or suffix that you use can be a single character (e.g. "A"), a number (e.g. "1"), a word (e.g. "Line:"), an expression (e.g. "Start Count:-") and so on. You can even use formatting instructions or elements of certain programming or scripting languages as prefixes or suffixes. The possibility is virtually limitless.

Just enter your text in the Input/Result Textarea, and then decide on the "Prefix" and "Suffix" you want to insert (you can add only a prefix or a suffix as well), and finally, press the "Apply" button. Voilà! Your text now has your desired prefix at the beginning of each line of your text and suffix at the end of each line. Adjust the spaces with your prefix and suffix to make your text presentable.

This tool has an "Exclude Empty Line" switch option, which when selected or enabled will avoid adding a prefix to blank text lines. If you choose to disable it, your prefix and suffix will also append in the blank lines of your text if you have any.

Whenever you need to do bulk prefix or suffix adding, this tool is your simplest solution. With this powerful online tool, you can add any prefix or suffix to any batch of keywords that you are working with, which would otherwise be a tedious and time-consuming task.
