How to Use the Markdown Table Generator
Paste CSV or TSV and the first row becomes the header, with a separator row added automatically. Tab-separated data copied from a spreadsheet is auto-detected. Pick a column alignment to add colons to the separator row, which controls text alignment when rendered.
Examples
name,role,score+Alice,Editor,95→| name | role | score |+ separator + data row- Alignment "Center" → separator becomes
| :---: | :---: | :---: |(centered columns) - Alignment "Right" → separator becomes
| ---: |(great for number columns) - Cell containing
a|b→ escaped toa\|bso the table stays intact - Uneven rows (
a,band1,2,3) → padded to the widest row with blank cells
Where Markdown Tables Are Useful
- README files, GitHub issues, pull requests and project documentation.
- Converting a small spreadsheet selection into a clean Markdown table.
- Preparing aligned comparison tables for docs without hand-writing pipes.
FAQ
Is my data sent to a server?
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser; nothing is transmitted or stored externally.
Does it support tab-separated (TSV) input?
Yes. Comma and tab are auto-detected, so TSV copied from a spreadsheet pastes in directly.
What if rows have different column counts?
It aligns to the row with the most columns and pads missing cells with blanks, so uneven rows are handled without errors.
Will a pipe (|) inside a cell break the table?
No. Any | inside a cell is automatically escaped to \| before output.
