How to Convert Spreadsheets into Markdown Tables
Markdown tables are essential for GitHub README files, technical documentation, Notion workspaces, and developer blogs. However, manually typing pipe characters (|) and hyphens is tedious and error-prone.
With FixMyString, simply copy any range of cells from Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, or Apple Numbers and paste them into the tool. It instantly formats them into clean, perfectly aligned GitHub-Flavored Markdown tables.
Markdown Table Alignment Syntax
:---Γ’β¬β Left-aligned column (standard for text and names).:---:Γ’β¬β Center-aligned column (ideal for status badges, dates, and codes).---:Γ’β¬β Right-aligned column (best practice for financial numbers and metrics).

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert an Excel table to Markdown?
Select the cells in Excel or Google Sheets, copy them (Ctrl+C), and paste them into the input area. The tool automatically formats them into a clean Markdown table (| Header |) with aligned pipes.
Does it support TSV and CSV input?
Yes! Both Tab-Separated Values (the clipboard format of Excel and Google Sheets) and Comma-Separated Values (CSV) are automatically detected and converted.
Can I set column text alignment (Left, Center, Right)?
Yes. You can set global alignment or customize alignment column by column using standard Markdown syntax (:--- for left, :---: for center, ---: for right).
Can it also generate HTML <table> code?
Yes! Choose "HTML Table" from the output format dropdown to generate clean, semantic <table><thead><tbody><tr><th> HTML markup instead of Markdown.
Does it pad columns for readable raw Markdown in code editors?
Yes. "Pretty Aligned" pads each column with spaces so that pipes vertically align in raw text editors and GitHub diffs, making your markdown files easy to read.
Is my spreadsheet data uploaded to any server?
No. All processing happens entirely inside your browser. No data ever leaves your device.
Can it handle pipes (|) and newlines inside cells?
Yes. Any existing pipe characters inside your cell data are automatically escaped as | to prevent breaking the Markdown table structure.
