Question 1

What formats can I paste from?

Accepted Answer

You can paste from Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, or any application that copies tabular data. The tool also accepts CSV and tab-separated text typed directly.

Question 2

Can I exclude specific rows or columns?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After pasting, use the checkboxes next to each row and above each column to toggle them on or off before copying the markdown output.

Question 3

What is markdown table syntax?

Accepted Answer

Markdown tables use pipes (|) to separate columns and hyphens (-) to create header row dividers. Each row is a single line with pipe-delimited values. This browser-based tool generates properly formatted markdown tables automatically so you do not need to type the syntax by hand.

Question 4

Can I paste from Google Sheets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Copy any range of cells from Google Sheets and paste directly into this tool. It reads the tab-separated clipboard data and converts it to a clean markdown table instantly, all processed client-side in your browser.

Question 5

How do I align columns in markdown tables?

Accepted Answer

In markdown, column alignment is controlled by colons in the header separator row. A colon on the left (:---) means left-aligned, on the right (---:) means right-aligned, and on both sides (:---:) means centered. This tool generates standard left-aligned tables that render correctly in all markdown processors.

Question 6

Does this handle merged cells?

Accepted Answer

Markdown tables do not support merged cells, so any merged cells from your source spreadsheet are expanded into individual cells during conversion. The content from the merged cell is placed in the first cell of the range. All processing happens in your browser with no data sent to a server.
