Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a list to comma separated values?

Paste your list with one item per line into the box above. The items are joined with commas instantly and you can copy the result with one click.

Can I use a separator other than a comma?

Yes. You can join the items with a semicolon, a pipe character or a plain space instead of a comma.

Why would I wrap items in quotes?

Quoted values are useful for SQL IN clauses, CSV files and code arrays, where each value needs to be a proper string, for example "apple", "banana", "cherry".

Does it handle lists copied from Excel?

Yes. Pasting a column from Excel gives one value per line, which is exactly the format this tool joins.

Is this tool free?

Yes, it is free with no signup and no limits.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. The joining runs in your browser with JavaScript, so your text never leaves your device.
