Markdown table syntax

A Markdown table is a header row, a separator row of dashes, then one line per row, with cells divided by pipes:

| Feature | Free | Pro    |
| ------- | ---- | -----: |
| Renders | 100  | 10,000 |

A colon sets the alignment: :--- left, :---: centered, ---: right. The padding spaces are optional; they only make the plain text easier to read. Tables are part of GitHub Flavored Markdown, so they work on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Notion, Obsidian, Discord-style renderers and most static site generators, but not in the original 2004 Markdown.

What a Markdown table can't do

No merged cells, no multi-line rows (use <br> inside a cell), and a header row is required: with "First row is the header" off, this tool adds a "Column 1, Column 2…" header. Pipes inside cells are escaped as \| for you.

Turn a table into an image or PDF

Need the table as a picture for a slide, a chat message or an email? Copy the Markdown into Markdown to PDF, or render the HTML table with the Shotmint API: POST https://shotmint.creasework.com/v1/screenshot with {"html": "<table>…</table>", "selector": "table"} returns a PNG cropped to the table (1 credit; 25 free renders a month, then €5 for 2,000 that never expire). Scripts and AI agents can get a key with a bare POST https://shotmint.creasework.com/v1/keys/free.

FAQ

Is my data uploaded? No. Parsing and conversion run in your browser; this page sends nothing to a server.

Do Chinese, Japanese or Korean characters line up? Yes: "Pad columns" counts wide characters and most emoji as two columns, the way monospaced editors draw them.
