About the ASCII Table Generator
This ASCII table generator converts plain-text data into neatly formatted text tables. Paste your rows — with the first row as headers — choose a delimiter, border style, and alignment, then click Generate. Everything runs in your browser with JavaScript; no data is uploaded.
Border styles
- Basic — Classic box-drawing with
+corners and-/|lines. Great for terminal output and documentation. - Markdown — GitHub-flavored Markdown tables with a separator row (
|---|). Paste directly into any Markdown file. - Compact — Minimal style using only a dashed separator under the header and pipes between columns.
Delimiters supported
Split your rows by comma, semicolon, tab, or pipe. Whitespace around each cell is trimmed automatically so Alice, 30 and Alice,30 both work.
How to use
- Paste your data into the input box. The first line is treated as the header row.
- Select the delimiter that matches your data.
- Pick a border style and alignment.
- Click Generate, then Copy to grab the table.
Frequently asked questions
Does it support multi-line cells? No — each row must be a single line. If you need line breaks inside cells, consider a Markdown editor instead.
What happens with uneven columns? Short rows are padded with empty cells, so the table stays rectangular.
Is there a row limit? No hard limit, but very large tables may be slow to render. The tool is designed for typical data sets of a few hundred rows.
