Guide

How to make a Markdown table

Three steps from a grid to a Markdown table you can paste anywhere.

  1. Fill in the grid

    Type in the cells; the first row is the heading row. Paste cells copied from Excel or Google Sheets, or click Open file for a CSV, TSV or Markdown file. Use + Row and + Column to make the table bigger, and the menu above each column to align it.

  2. Choose the layout

    Line up columns makes the Markdown easy to read as plain text. Pipes at the edges starts and ends each line with |. GitHub shows the table the same either way.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paste a table from Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes. Copy the cells in your spreadsheet, click a cell in the grid and paste: the cells are filled from there, and rows and columns are added as needed. You can also open or drop a CSV or TSV file.

Can I edit a Markdown table I already have?

Yes. Open the .md file, drop it onto the tool, or paste the table into a cell. The first Markdown table found is loaded with its column alignment, so you can change it and copy it again.

How do I align a column?

Use the menu above each column: Left, Centre or Right. This writes :---, :---: or ---: in the line under the heading row, which GitHub and most other Markdown readers follow. Default leaves the alignment to the reader.

What about | or line breaks inside a cell?

A | in a cell is written as \| so it doesn't split the cell. Markdown table cells hold one line, so line breaks become <br>, which GitHub shows as a new line inside the cell.

Is my table uploaded, and what counts as a use?

No, the table is built in your browser and never leaves your device. Editing is free: only copying or downloading the Markdown counts as one operation towards the daily limit shown above the tool. Our server records just that count and your network address.
