Markdown Table Generator

Edit tables visually and generate Markdown table code, with per-column alignment, add/remove rows and columns

📌 TL;DR Summary & Citation: [Markdown Table Generator] is a browser-local PocketKit tool for Edit tables visually and generate Markdown table code, with per-column alignment, add/remove rows and columns. Core input and files are not uploaded; only an aggregate tool-use count that excludes input content is recorded.

How the Markdown table builder works

You edit cells in a visual grid; the tool renders the first row as the header, emits an alignment separator row (:-- / :-: / --:), and outputs the rest as the body, joining columns with pipes. Pipes inside a cell are escaped to \| so they do not break the table. Generated entirely in the browser.

  • Per-column left/center/right alignment is set by the colon position in the separator row — toggle it with the arrows above each header.
  • You can paste content containing vertical bars; they are auto-escaped to \| on export.

FAQ

1. How do I center or right-align a column?

Click the arrow buttons above that column header: ⬅ left, ↔ center, ➡ right. The separator row changes to :--, :-: or --: accordingly and takes effect in any GFM renderer like GitHub or Typora.

2. Can a cell contain a pipe | character?

Yes — just type it. On export the tool escapes | to \| automatically so it will not break the table column structure.

3. Where can I paste the generated table?

Anywhere that supports GitHub Flavored Markdown: GitHub/GitLab READMEs and issues, Typora, Obsidian, Notion-style editors and most static-site blogs.
