Private by design

Everything happens in your browser. Nothing you type, paste or upload is sent anywhere, and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded.

Why it matters

Markdown tables are lovely to read and painful to edit: add one long cell and every pipe in the column needs moving. Most people end up with ragged tables in READMEs and docs.

This editor lets you work in a grid and writes the Markdown for you, padded so it reads well as plain text too. Paste cells straight from a spreadsheet, sort and align columns, escape pipes inside cells automatically, and export the same table as HTML, CSV or JSON.

By the numbers

Measured from this tool's own exporters. Padding the Markdown makes it line up in a code editor and costs a few bytes; it renders the same. HTML is longest because every cell needs tags. Source: GitHub Flavored Markdown: tables.

FAQ

Which Markdown does it write?

GitHub-flavoured Markdown tables, which also work on GitLab, Bitbucket, Notion, Obsidian and most static site generators.

What about pipes inside a cell?

They're escaped as \| so they don't split the cell.

Can I paste from Excel?

Yes. Copied cells arrive as tab-separated text, which the editor reads directly.

Can a cell have line breaks?

Markdown tables can't. Use <br> inside the cell instead.
