Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Markdown table?

A Markdown table is a simple text-based table format used in documentation, README files, blogs, static websites, GitHub, Notion-style editors, and many content management systems.

Can I convert Excel to Markdown with this tool?

Yes. Copy the cells from Microsoft Excel, paste them into the tool, and click “Generate Markdown”. The tool converts tab-separated spreadsheet data into a Markdown table.

Does this work with Google Sheets?

Yes. You can copy rows and columns from Google Sheets and paste them directly into the input box. The tool will turn your selected cells into Markdown table syntax.

Can I convert tables copied from websites?

In many cases, yes. If the copied table keeps its row and column structure when pasted, the tool can convert it into a Markdown table.

Is the data uploaded to your server?

No. The conversion runs in your browser using JavaScript. Your pasted spreadsheet data is not uploaded or processed on the server.

Where can I use the generated Markdown table?

You can use it in GitHub README files, documentation, developer notes, static site generators, Markdown editors, blog posts, project wikis, and other tools that support Markdown.

Why does my Markdown table look broken?

This can happen if some cells contain line breaks, extra tabs, or special characters. Try cleaning the spreadsheet data first, then copy and paste the table again.

Can I copy the generated Markdown?

Yes. After generating the table, click the “Copy Markdown” button to copy the output to your clipboard.
