Markdown Table Generator

A Markdown table is a way to represent tabular data in plain text using pipe characters (|) and hyphens (-). It's part of GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) and supported by most modern Markdown renderers including GitHub, GitLab, Notion, Obsidian, VS Code, and many static site generators.

Column alignment is set in the separator row (the second row with dashes). Use :--- for left alignment, ---: for right alignment, :---: for center alignment, and --- for default (left) alignment. Click the alignment button in each column header to cycle through options.

This generator supports up to 20 rows and 10 columns. For larger tables, consider using a spreadsheet and exporting to CSV, then converting to Markdown.

The generator auto-pads each column so the pipes align vertically. This makes the raw Markdown readable even before rendering. Both padded and unpadded tables render identically in Markdown viewers.

Yes — paste your existing Markdown table in the Import section and click outside the box. The generator will parse the headers, rows, and column count automatically.
