Works in your browser. What you paste or upload is processed on your device.
The first row is the table header. Type a name for each column.
Type into the cells and use + Row and + Column to grow the table.
Choose Left, Center or Right above each column.
Copy the generated table or download it as a .md file.
A Markdown table generator builds the pipe-and-dash syntax of a Markdown table for you. Type into cells as in a spreadsheet, add or delete rows and columns, and set each column to left, centre or right alignment; the Markdown updates as you type, with a preview tab to check it.
Output is GitHub Flavored Markdown, the table syntax supported by GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Notion, Obsidian, Docusaurus, MkDocs and most Markdown editors. Pretty print pads every column so the pipes line up in the source, which makes the table easy to read and diff; turn it off for compact output. Pipes inside cells are escaped (\|) and line breaks become <br>.
To edit a table you already have, open Import and paste a Markdown table, CSV rows or cells copied from Excel or Google Sheets. Limits: Markdown tables have no merged cells, and every row has the same number of columns.
Typing Markdown tables by hand means counting pipes and dashes and re-aligning every row after each edit. A visual editor removes that, and aligned output keeps README diffs readable.

A header row of cells separated by pipes, a separator row of dashes (| --- | --- |), then one line per row. Colons in the separator set the alignment: :--- left, :---: centre, ---: right.
Pick Left, Center or Right above the column. The generator adds the colons to the separator row for you.
Yes. Line breaks are written as <br>, which GitHub renders as a new line, and | characters are escaped as \| so they don't split the cell.
No. Markdown tables don't support colspan or rowspan. Use an HTML table inside the Markdown file if you need merged cells.
Copy the cells in Excel or Google Sheets, open Import, paste and click Import into the editor. For large tables, the CSV to Markdown Table converter is quicker.
