Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between CSV and TSV?

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) uses commas as delimiters. TSV (Tab-Separated Values) uses tabs. TSV is better for data containing commas, while CSV is more universally supported. This tool handles both formats.

How do I convert CSV to a Markdown table for GitHub?

Paste your CSV data, ensure 'First row is header' is checked, and copy the Markdown output. GitHub automatically renders Markdown tables in READMEs, issues, and comments.

Can I use custom delimiters?

Yes. Select the delimiter from the dropdown: comma, tab, semicolon, or pipe. The auto-detect feature will try to identify the most likely delimiter from your input.

How do I align columns in the Markdown table?

After pasting data with headers enabled, click the column alignment buttons (left/center/right) above the output. Colons in the separator row control alignment: :--- for left, :---: for center, ---: for right.

Does this tool handle quoted fields?

Yes. Fields enclosed in double quotes are parsed correctly, including fields that contain commas, newlines, or escaped quotes (doubled quotes like "").

Can I paste data from Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes. Copy cells from Excel or Google Sheets and paste directly into the input area. The tool will auto-detect the tab delimiter. Make sure to select 'First row is header' if applicable.

What Markdown table format does this tool generate?

The tool generates GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM) table syntax, which is the standard format supported by GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and most Markdown renderers.

Is my data private?

Yes. All parsing and conversion happens entirely in your browser. No data is uploaded to any server. You can even disconnect your internet and the tool still works.

Can I convert Markdown tables back to CSV?

This tool focuses on CSV-to-Markdown conversion. For Markdown-to-CSV, you can use our other tools or simply copy the table from Markdown and paste into a spreadsheet.

What if my CSV has inconsistent column counts?

The tool pads shorter rows with empty cells to match the maximum column count. This ensures the Markdown table has consistent columns throughout.
