Here are 4 free online Markdown table generators. You can set the number of rows and columns as per the requirements and then get the output table in Markdown formatting. The best part is you won’t get output as blank table. Instead, you can add data in rows and columns of the table and then save the Markdown table to clipboard. Finally, you can paste that table in some Markdown editor and save it as Markdown file.
Other basic options like add a row, delete a column, add a column, and delete a row are also available. In short, you can create meaningful Markdown tables using any of these free websites.
These websites also provide other interesting features. For example, you can add input in tab separated or comma separated format, create a new Markdown file, save data online, share table, etc.
Let’s check these online Markdown table generators one by one.
TablesGenerator.com
TablesGenerator.com (Homepage) is one of the simple options here for generating Markdown tables. You can add number of rows and columns for Markdown table by just moving the mouse cursor on the table size option. Use “Table” drop-down menu, access Set size option, and then you can move mouse cursor to set the number of rows and columns for Markdown table. When the size is set, the table will be visible to you.
In each row and column, you can add custom data, and then “Generate” output Markdown table. When the output table is in front of you, you can copy all that table along with data to the clipboard. After that, you need to manually save it as Markdown file. Or else, simply paste clipboard data to some online Markdown viewer. The website lets you download Markdown table but in its native format (*.tgn). You can either download the table or simply copy it.
Other than this, the website is also helpful to automatically and locally save table, clear table, generate LaTeX tables, text tables, HTML tables, etc.
Table Editor
Table Editor (Homepage) is another great website and a good competitor to rest of the Markdown table generator websites covered on this list. Its features are very much similar to “TablesGenerator.com” website. You can select table size by accessing its “Table size” drop-down menu and then moving the mouse cursor. It also lets you generate LaTeX, plain text, HTML tables, etc.
When the table is added, add data as per your requirements. The data you add is visible immediately along with the output Markdown table. You can also select a font for table (Sans Serif, Monospace, or Serif) and set the indent level. Other options like set text alignment for table, create a duplicate column, move columns, sort columns alphabetically and numerically, etc., are also present. When the table is ready, copy that table to clipboard and then manually save it as Markdown file. It also lets you save table online and export it to PC but the output file won’t have any type of extension while saving it to PC.
CSV to Markdown Table Generator
As the name suggests, this website is actually handy to convert a CSV table to Markdown formatting table. But, the thing is you can also create a Markdown table from scratch. It lets you add input as comma separated, tab separated, or semicolon separated format and then the output table is generated as per that data.
The Markdown table is generated in real-time which is a very useful feature. In addition to that, you can also set the first line as the header for Markdown table. When you have done the changes, simply copy the output data and save it as Markdown file.
StackEdit
StackEdit is a very useful Markdown viewer and editor software. It lets you create Markdown from scratch, edit and view changes side by side, import Markdown from PC and save it back to PC, track and restore file versions, and more. The feature to add a table is also present. However, the table feature of this website is more useful when you need to create a table with maximum of two columns. You can add more rows but it won’t give you better output if you try to add columns more than 2.
If that is OK, then you can use Ctrl+Shift+T hotkey or Table menu to add the column with default rows and columns. Add the data and then you can save the output to PC. The good thing is it lets you save output directly as Markdown file or HTML document.
The Conclusion:
These are some good online options to create Markdown tables. Among these sites, TablesGenerator.com is my favorite website. Everything is very simple and the output Markdown table also comes as expected. Try these online Markdown table generators and check which one is best suited for you.
