Markdown Table to CSV
Paste a Markdown table and export clean, spreadsheet-ready CSV — instantly and client-side.
Output preview will appear here after you convert.
Free & client-side. Your files are never uploaded.
Paste a GitHub-Flavored pipe table and get a clean CSV file — no retyping. This free tool reads the pipe-delimited rows, sorts out the header and alignment line, and writes a proper comma-separated file that opens straight away in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, or any data pipeline. Wide grids, ragged rows, and stray whitespace are all handled.
Everything runs in your browser, so confidential rows never leave your machine. The converter follows the RFC 4180 standard, which means cells containing commas, quotes, or line breaks are escaped correctly instead of silently breaking your columns. Paste once, preview, and download — no install, no sign-up, no server round-trip.

Frequently asked questions
What Markdown table format is supported?
Standard GitHub-Flavored Markdown pipe tables — a header row, a |---| separator row, then data rows. That is the format you get from a README, a wiki page or most AI assistants.
Can I open the CSV in Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes. The output is a standard .csv file, so it imports cleanly into Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers or any spreadsheet. To get a Markdown table into Excel, convert it here and open the downloaded file.
Are commas inside cells handled correctly?
Yes. Cells containing commas, quotes or line breaks are quoted and escaped following the CSV (RFC 4180) standard, so your columns never break.
Can I convert CSV back to a Markdown table?
This tool does the Markdown table to CSV direction. A CSV to Markdown table converter is coming soon — for now, paste a Markdown table here to get spreadsheet-ready CSV.
Can it export to JSON or TSV instead of CSV?
Right now it exports CSV, which every spreadsheet and data tool reads. JSON and TSV export are on the roadmap; CSV imports cleanly into tools that also accept those formats.
Does it handle wide tables with many columns?
Yes — wide tables with dozens of columns and ragged or whitespace-padded rows are all parsed correctly into clean comma-separated rows.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Parsing happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, so even confidential rows stay on your device.
