Frequently Asked Questions

A Markdown table is a lightweight way to display tabular data using plain text. It uses pipes (|) to separate columns and hyphens (-) to create a header row separator. Markdown tables are widely supported on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Reddit, Stack Overflow, Jekyll, Hugo, and most Markdown editors. They render as clean HTML tables without requiring any HTML.
Use CoderDesign's free Markdown Table Generator: set your desired number of rows and columns, type your data into the interactive grid editor, choose column alignment (left, center, or right), and click Generate Markdown. The tool outputs perfectly formatted Markdown table syntax that you can copy and paste directly into any Markdown file.
Yes. Click the Import CSV button, paste your comma-separated data into the textarea, and click Import. The tool automatically detects rows and columns, sets the first row as headers, and populates the grid. This is perfect for converting spreadsheet exports, database query results, or any CSV file into a clean Markdown table.
You can set each column independently to left-aligned (:---), center-aligned (:---:), or right-aligned (---:). Click the alignment buttons below each column header to toggle between options. The alignment is reflected in the generated Markdown using standard GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) alignment syntax.
Yes. The generated table syntax is fully compatible with GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM), which is the standard used in GitHub README files, issues, pull requests, and wikis. It also works on GitLab, Bitbucket, Notion, Obsidian, and any platform that supports GFM tables.
If your cell content contains a pipe character (|), the tool automatically escapes it as \| in the generated Markdown. This ensures the table renders correctly on all platforms. You can type pipe characters freely in the grid editor without worrying about breaking the table structure.
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript — nothing is sent to any server. Your table data is never stored in any database, logged, or shared with any third party. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool continues to work.
Yes. The tool provides buttons to add or remove rows and columns at any time. You can start with a small table and expand it, or remove rows and columns you no longer need. The grid editor updates instantly and your existing data is preserved when adding new rows or columns.
