Frequently Asked Questions

How does this markdown table generator work?

Our tool runs entirely in your browser for maximum privacy and speed. Simply enter your data into the visual table editor, configure column alignment, and click export to copy your markdown table. No uploads, no server processing—just instant table generation with real-time preview.

Is my table data processed locally or sent to servers?

All table data is processed locally in your browser. We never upload your content to any servers, ensuring complete privacy and security. Your data stays on your device at all times, making it safe for sensitive information.

Can I use keyboard shortcuts to speed up table creation?

Yes! Use Tab to navigate between cells, Enter to move to the next row, and Shift+Tab to go backwards. The visual editor also supports standard copy/paste operations, making it easy to import data from spreadsheets or other sources.

How do I align columns (left/center/right) in markdown tables?

Use our alignment controls in each cell's editor. Left alignment uses `---`, center alignment uses `:---:`, and right alignment uses `---:` in the markdown separator row. The visual editor automatically generates the correct alignment syntax based on your selection.

How do I escape pipes (|) and other special characters inside table cells?

For pipes inside cells, use HTML entity `|` or wrap content in backticks for code. For other markdown characters like asterisks or underscores, escape with backslashes (\*) or use HTML entities. Our tool handles basic escaping automatically during export.
