Markdown Table Generator — Free Markdown Table Maker & Formatter

Markdown Table Generator — Free Markdown Table Maker & Formatter. Free Markdown table generator: build tables visually, set column alignment, import CSV, Excel or an existing Markdown table and copy clean GitHub-flavored Markdown.

Our free Markdown table generator lets you build perfectly formatted tables without typing a single pipe or dash by hand.

Set the number of rows and columns, type your headers and values into the visual grid, and the tool writes clean, aligned GitHub-flavored Markdown in real time.

It works as a Markdown table maker and Markdown table creator for README files, GitHub and GitLab issues, pull requests, wikis, Notion, Obsidian, Docusaurus and any static site generator that understands the Markdown table format.

Each column has an alignment toggle (default, left, center or right), so the separator row gets the correct :---, :---: or ---: markers automatically. Already have data?

Paste CSV to Markdown table, TSV copied straight from Excel or Google Sheets (Excel to Markdown table), or a messy existing Markdown table and click Import — the tool detects the delimiter, handles quoted fields, reads alignment markers and turns the first row into the header.

That makes it a handy Markdown table formatter: paste a hand-written table and get it back with every pipe lined up. Pipe characters inside cells are escaped with a backslash and line breaks become , so your Markdown table syntax never breaks.

Switch to compact output for the smallest diff, transpose rows and columns in one click, and check the live preview before you copy. Everything runs locally in your browser — your data is never uploaded, and the tool keeps working offline once loaded.

Load the sample to see how alignment works, copy the Markdown with one click, or share a link that restores your whole table. Need more Markdown and data tools?

Write and preview documents in the Markdown Editor, render them with Markdown to HTML, convert web pages with HTML to Markdown, inspect spreadsheets in the CSV Viewer or turn API data into rows with JSON to CSV.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a Markdown table with this generator?

Set Rows and Columns (up to 200 rows and 26 columns), type your headers and values into the Table editor grid, and the Markdown output updates as you type. Click Copy Table to copy it, and check the Preview card to see how it renders.

How do I convert CSV or Excel data to a Markdown table?

Paste CSV, TSV copied from Excel or Google Sheets, semicolon-separated data or an existing Markdown table into the Import CSV, Excel or Markdown box and click Import table. The delimiter is detected from the first line, quoted fields are supported, and the first row becomes the header.

How do I set column alignment?

Click the button above each column to cycle through Default, Left, Center and Right, or use Align all columns. The separator row gets :--- for left, :---: for center and ---: for right, while Default leaves plain dashes.

What do Compact output and Escape pipes and line breaks do?

By default cells are padded so the pipes line up; Compact output writes the shortest valid syntax instead. Escape pipes and line breaks, on by default, puts a backslash before any pipe character inside a cell and turns line breaks into br tags, so cell content cannot break the table.

Can I reformat or transpose an existing Markdown table?

Yes. Paste the table into the import box and click Import table; alignment markers are read from the separator row and the output is re-padded neatly. Transpose swaps rows and columns, Clear cells empties every cell, and Reset restores the default 3 by 3 table.

Can I share or save my table?

The share link button copies a URL that contains the whole table and output options, so opening it restores your work. Everything else is processed in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
