Markdown Tables Made Easy
Let's be honest: writing markdown tables manually is painful. Counting pipes, aligning columns, making sure everything lines up... there has to be a better way.
There is. It's called md0's table generator.
Why You'll Love It
Visual Table Editor Click to add rows and columns. Edit cells directly. No syntax to remember.
Excel/Google Sheets Import Copy a table from Excel or Google Sheets, paste it in, and boom—instant markdown table.
Clean Output Generates properly formatted markdown that works everywhere: GitHub, GitLab, documentation sites, and more.
Alignment Control Set column alignment (left, center, right) with a single click. The markdown formatting is handled automatically.
Resize On the Fly Add or remove rows and columns anytime. The table adjusts automatically.

Common Use Cases
Documentation Tables Create feature comparison tables, API reference tables, or configuration option tables for your docs.
README Files Add clean, formatted tables to your GitHub READMEs for project stats, compatibility matrices, or feature lists.
Technical Specs Document system requirements, API endpoints, or configuration parameters in tabular format.
Data Presentation Present survey results, benchmark data, or comparison charts in markdown format.
Markdown Table Syntax (So You Don't Have To Learn It)
Here's what md0 generates automatically:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|----------|----------|----------|
| Data 1 | Data 2 | Data 3 |
| Data 4 | Data 5 | Data 6 |
With alignment:
| Left | Center | Right |
|:-----|:------:|------:|
| L1 | C1 | R1 |
| L2 | C2 | R2 |
You don't need to remember this. md0 does it for you.
Pro Tips for Better Tables
Keep Tables Simple Complex nested tables don't work in markdown. If your data is that complex, consider breaking it into multiple simpler tables.
Use Headers Wisely The first row should always be your column headers. This makes tables readable and accessible.
Align Numeric Data Right Numbers should be right-aligned for easier comparison. Use the alignment controls to set this.
Don't Overload Mobile Wide tables with many columns are hard to read on mobile. Consider splitting them or using a different format for responsive docs.
Test in Context Copy your markdown table into your actual document to see how it renders in your specific environment.
Accessibility Matters
Properly formatted markdown tables convert to semantic HTML tables, which means:
- Screen readers can navigate them properly
- Search engines understand the data structure
- Styling with CSS is straightforward
