Markdown Table Generator
What is Markdown Table Generator
A Markdown table generator turns tabular data into GitHub-flavoured Markdown table syntax. Paste rows separated by commas, tabs or semicolons (a spreadsheet copy works too) and it builds the pipe-and-dash table for you, escaping any pipe characters so nothing breaks the columns. You control whether the first row is the header, how columns are aligned, and whether the raw output is padded to stay readable in a plain editor.
How to use
- Paste your data into the input box, one row per line.
- Pick the column separator, or leave it on Auto to detect it.
- Choose the alignment and whether the first row is a header.
- Copy the Markdown table from the output and drop it into your file.
When to use it
Writing a README or a docs page and need a table fast? Paste a copy straight from Google Sheets, say three columns of API parameters, and you get valid Markdown in one step, ready to commit. It also saves you from hand-counting pipes when a coworker sends you a comma-separated list to document.
Frequently asked questions
What input formats does it accept?
Comma, tab and semicolon separated values. Auto mode reads the first line and picks the separator for you, and a copy-paste from Excel or Google Sheets (which uses tabs) works directly.
How do I set column alignment?
Choose Left, Center or Right and the tool writes the correct colon markers in the separator row (like :---:), which GitHub, GitLab and most Markdown renderers respect. Pick None to leave columns unaligned.
What happens to pipe characters in my data?
They are escaped automatically as \| so a value containing a pipe stays inside its cell instead of starting a new column.
Does it handle rows with a different number of columns?
Yes. Rows are padded to match the widest row, so a short row simply gets empty trailing cells instead of breaking the table.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser and your data never leaves your device.
Can I share this tool with my inputs pre-filled?
Yes. The URL updates automatically as you type. Copy it from the address bar or use the Share button and anyone who opens the link will see your exact inputs ready to go.
