How to make a Markdown table online
Set the size
Add or remove rows and columns until the grid matches the size of the table you want to build.
Fill in the cells
Type your column headers and cell values directly into the grid, then choose left, center, or right alignment for each column.
Copy the Markdown
The Markdown source and a live preview update as you edit, so copy the finished Markdown or download it as a .md file.
Why use this tool
Visual grid editor
Type straight into a spreadsheet-style grid and watch the Markdown update on every keystroke. There is no generate button.
Per-column alignment
Set each column to left, center, or right, and the alignment row of colons is written into the table for you.
Add and remove rows and columns
Grow or trim the table at any time. The header row and alignment markers always stay in sync with the columns.
Aligned or compact output
Pad every column so the raw Markdown lines up in a monospaced editor, or switch to compact output with minimal spacing.
Live preview
A rendered table shows exactly how the Markdown will look once displayed, including your alignment choices.
Runs entirely in your browser
Everything happens on your device. Nothing you type is uploaded.
About this tool
This Markdown table generator turns a visual grid into valid GitHub-flavored Markdown. Instead of counting pipes and dashes by hand, you fill in headers and cells, choose an alignment for each column, and the table syntax is written and kept correct as you edit. A pipe character inside a cell is escaped automatically, and a line break is converted so a single cell can still hold more than one line.
Markdown tables are the standard way to show structured data in README files, pull request descriptions, issue comments, wikis, and static site content. Reach for this when you want a quick comparison table, a small data table, or a parameters list without hand-writing the delimiter row. You can add or remove rows and columns at any time, and switch between aligned output, which pads each column so the source lines up in a monospaced editor, and compact output. To turn an existing HTML table into Markdown instead, use HTML to Markdown.
Everything runs in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded or stored. When the table is ready, copy the Markdown or download it as a .md file. To render the result as HTML, try Markdown to HTML, and to tidy up surrounding markup, the HTML formatter can help.
Frequently asked questions
- How does the Markdown table generator work?
- You edit a visual grid of headers and cells and pick an alignment for each column. The Markdown source and a live preview update on every change, so there is never a separate generate step. When you are happy, copy the Markdown or download it as a file.
- How do I set column alignment?
- Each column has a small left, center, and right control above its header. Your choice is written into the alignment row of the table using colons, so it renders the same way in any viewer that supports GitHub-flavored tables.
- Can a cell contain a pipe or a line break?
- Yes. A pipe character is escaped automatically so it does not break the table, and a line break inside a cell is converted so the text still displays on separate lines when rendered.
- What is the difference between aligned and compact output?
- Aligned output pads every column with spaces so the raw Markdown lines up neatly in a monospaced editor. Compact output uses minimal spacing for the shortest possible source. Both render to the same table.
- Is my data uploaded anywhere?
- No. Everything runs in your browser; nothing you type is sent to a server or stored.
