Markdown Table Formatter

A markdown table is a way to represent tabular data in plain text. It uses pipe characters (|) to separate columns and a row of dashes to separate the header from the body. Most Markdown renderers (GitHub, GitLab, Notion, etc.) display tables as formatted HTML. Proper alignment and consistent column widths make tables easier to read in both raw and rendered form.

This tool helps you create, format, and align markdown tables without manual padding. You can paste an existing table, build one from scratch, or import from CSV.

Alignment is specified in the separator row. Left-aligned: :--- (colon on the left). Center: :---: (colons on both sides). Right-aligned: ---: (colon on the right). The tool lets you set alignment per column with a single click, then formats all cells to match. This produces clean, readable markdown that renders correctly everywhere.

CSV (comma-separated values) is a common export format from spreadsheets and databases. This tool parses CSV (including quoted fields) and converts it to a markdown table. Paste your CSV, click Import, and the first row becomes the header. Useful for embedding data in README files, documentation, or wiki pages.
