Remove Quotes from Text

The Remove Quotes from Text Tool is a powerful utility to clean quotation marks from your content. Unlike simple find-and-replace, it offers precise control: remove only specific types of quotes (like backticks or smart quotes) or only remove quotes wrapping the lines while keeping internal quotes intact.

How to Use

  1. Enter Text - Paste your content or upload a file.
  2. Choose Mode - "All Quotes" removes everything; "Outer Only" just unquotes lines.
  3. Select Targets - Uncheck types to keep, or use "Custom" to remove specific characters (like brackets).
  4. Copy/Download - Get your cleaned text instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of quotes can I remove?

You can remove standard double quotes ("), single quotes ('), smart/curly quotes (“”), backticks (`), and international angle quotes («»). You can also specify CUSTOM characters to remove any other type of wrapper.

How does custom removal work?

Select 'Custom' and enter the opening and closing characters you want to strip. For example, enter '[' and ']' to remove square brackets, or '*' to remove asterisks used for bold text.

Can I remove quotes only from the beginning and end?

Yes! Use the 'Outer Only' mode. This will strip quotes from the start and end of each line but preserve any quotes inside the text (like "don't" or quoted text within a sentence).

How do I remove smart quotes?

Simply check the 'Smart Quotes' option. The tool detects these curved quotation marks often created by word processors like Word or Google Docs and removes them.

Will this delete apostrophes?

If you check 'Single Quotes', yes, apostrophes will be removed as they are the same character. To protect apostrophes in contractions, try using 'Outer Only' mode if your goal is just to unquote lines.

Can I process a file?

Yes, you can upload .txt files directly. The tool will process the file contents and let you download the cleaned version.

What are backticks?

Backticks (`) are used in code (JavaScript template literals, SQL identifiers) and Markdown. This tool can strip them specifically while leaving other quotes intact.

Is my data private?

Completely. All processing runs in your browser using JavaScript. No text receives our servers.

Does it support international quotes?

Yes, it supports angle quotes (guillemets) used in French, Spanish, and other European languages.

How fast is it?

Instant. Since it runs locally on your device, it can process large amounts of text in milliseconds without network latency.

Is this tool free?

Yes, 100% free with no limits on usage.
