This converter turns a GitHub Flavored Markdown table into an HTML <table> with <thead> and <tbody>, ready to paste into a page, CMS or e-mail. Paste the Markdown and copy the markup.

How it works

  1. Paste the Markdown table

    Paste the table or a document containing it, drop a .md file or load one from a URL, and choose the table if there are several.

  2. Style the markup

    Add a CSS class such as table table-striped, switch on inline styles for e-mail, choose indented or one-line markup.

  3. Copy the HTML

    Check the sandboxed preview, then copy the HTML or download it as an .html file.

Features

  • Inline Markdown rendered

    **bold**, *italic*, `code`, ~~strikethrough~~ and [links](https://…) in cells become <strong>, <em>, <code>, <s> and <a>.

  • Alignment kept

    The colons of the delimiter row become style="text-align:center" or right on the header and body cells, as GitHub renders them.

  • Safe output

    Raw HTML in cells is escaped, except <br>, and javascript: links are not turned into links, so the markup is safe to paste.

  • For e-mail and CMS

    Inline styles add borders, padding and a header background that survive e-mail clients and editors without your stylesheet.

Limits & privacy

Markdown files can be up to 10 MB and tables are limited to 100,000 rows. Files above 5 MB are converted from the file without loading them into the editor.

Only the selected table is converted, not the rest of the document – for a whole page use the Markdown Viewer, which exports a standalone HTML file. Images in cells are written as <img> with their URL; the preview does not load external images.

See the privacy page.

FAQ

How do I convert a Markdown table to HTML?

Paste the Markdown table. The HTML markup appears at once; copy it or download it.

Can I get plain text cells without <strong> or <a>?

Yes. Choose Plain text in Cell content and all formatting is written as text.

How do I add Bootstrap or my own CSS class?

Type the class names in CSS class. They are added to the <table> element.

Is the alignment of columns kept?

Yes. Center and right alignment become text-align styles on the cells.

What if a cell contains a <script> tag?

It is escaped and shows up as text. The preview runs in a sandbox with scripts disabled.

Is my Markdown uploaded?

No. The HTML is generated in your browser.
