About CSV to Markdown

Convert CSV rows into a GitHub-flavored Markdown table, entirely in your browser — no upload, no file size limit.

READMEs, wikis, and static site generators render GitHub-flavored Markdown tables, but formatting the pipe-and-dash syntax by hand for anything more than a few rows is tedious.

This tool converts CSV rows directly into a valid GFM Markdown table, escaping pipe characters in cell values so columns don't shift, with a proper header separator row generated automatically.

Converting back the other way, it parses a Markdown table's header and body rows and flattens them into CSV columns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Markdown table syntax does it produce?

Standard GitHub-flavored Markdown (GFM) table syntax, with a header row, a dash-separated divider row, and pipe-delimited body rows.

What happens to pipe characters already in my data?

Pipe characters (|) in cell values are escaped automatically so they don't get mistaken for column separators and shift the table.

Can it parse a Markdown table with alignment markers?

Yes, the header separator row (including any :--- alignment syntax) is recognized and skipped when flattening a Markdown table back into CSV.

Built for developers documenting data in READMEs, wikis, and static sites.
