Markdown Table Generator

Markdown tables use pipes | to separate cells and hyphens - to separate the header row from the body. The alignment row uses colons: :--- for left-align, :---: for center, ---: for right. Writing this by hand for anything beyond 2x2 is tedious — a visual editor produces correctly padded output every time.

Tables are supported in GitHub Flavored Markdown, CommonMark extensions, Obsidian, Notion's Markdown export, Reddit, Stack Overflow, and most static site generators (Jekyll, Hugo, MkDocs). They do not render in original CommonMark, so a few strict processors will show them as raw pipes. Inside cells you can include inline code with backticks, bold/italic, and links — but not line breaks or block-level elements.

This generator produces properly padded, pipe-aligned output that stays readable in raw form too — helpful when teammates review Markdown files directly on GitHub. Column widths auto-adjust to the longest cell, and the alignment row updates as you pick alignment per column.
