This list covers 4 best free online LaTeX table editor websites. While some sites let you copy and paste LaTeX table data for editing, other sites provide the feature to import LaTeX file from the desktop. Most of these sites let you edit LaTeX table using its HTML output and one website lets you edit table data available in LaTeX format.
Apart from that, these LaTeX table editors have some really good features. For example, you can import LaTeX file from Dropbox or Google Drive account, download LaTeX file directly, get a PDF file of LaTeX table, create a new table, generate Markdown table, and more.
Let’s see these free LaTeX table editor websites.
LaTeX Base
LaTeX Base is one of my favorite online LaTeX editors. The reason is while most of the websites let you paste LaTeX table data, it lets you import LaTeX table file. Apart from that, it provides 3 platforms to add LaTeX file: PC, Dropbox, and Google Drive. Another unique feature is that you can save output LaTeX data in TeX format directly. While other LaTeX table editors on this list let you copy the table data to clipboard, this automatically creates LaTeX table file and lets you save the table in TeX format. A zip file is downloaded that will contain LaTeX table. Another interesting feature is the zip archive contains PDF file of LaTeX table.
When the file is imported, you can view table data on the left side, and HTML output on the right side. Start editing the table and preview the HTML. Finally, you can download or export the zip file using the available icon.
This website also has paid plans to provide more interesting features like create and store private docs, publish your table, store files to Dropbox and Google Drive. But, the free plan is also very good for personal use.
Tablesgenerator.com
Tablesgenerator.com (Homepage) is one of the best websites to edit LaTeX table. Use Load Table option in File menu and then you can paste the LaTeX table that you want to edit. Direct upload for LaTeX table is not supported, but you can easily paste LaTeX table data. The HTML output of LaTeX is visible on the top part and the bottom part shows the table data in LaTeX format. You can do the editing in HTML part, insert new rows and columns, and merge and split cells according to your requirements. After that, use Generate button to get the edited LaTeX table.
This website also lets you compress whitespaces in the table and escape special TeX symbols. You can also use some extra options like add a caption above or below the table, center table horizontally, split table, and more. When the final table is ready, use Copy to clipboard button. Finally, you can paste table in Notepad++ or some other editor and manually save the table as LaTeX file.
This website is also handy to create Markdown tables, MediaWiki tables, Text tables, and HTML tables. With all such features, it is also a big competitor to other online LaTeX table editors.
