When you copy cells from Excel or Google Sheets, the clipboard contains TSV (tab-separated) data. This tool converts that data directly to a Markdown table — just paste and you're done. No need to manually add pipes, dashes, or alignment. It's the fastest way to put spreadsheet data into a GitHub README, GitLab wiki, or any Markdown-based documentation. For the reverse, use our Markdown to Excel tool.
The first row of your TSV data is automatically used as the column headers in the Markdown table. The separator row (with dashes) is generated automatically. All subsequent rows become data rows. Missing cells are filled with empty strings to keep the table consistent.
Beyond Excel and Google Sheets, this tool works with any tab-separated text files (.tsv), database exports, log files, and terminal output that uses tabs as delimiters. After converting to Markdown, you can further format the output using our Markdown Table Formatter for perfectly aligned columns.
A TSV (Tab-Separated Values) to Markdown Converter transforms tab-delimited data into Markdown table format. TSV is the format produced when you copy cells from Excel or Google Sheets — each column is separated by a tab character and each row by a newline. This tool converts that data into a properly formatted Markdown pipe table for use in GitHub READMEs, wikis, and documentation.
Simply select the cells you want in Excel or Google Sheets (including the header row), press Ctrl+C (or Cmd+C on Mac) to copy, then paste directly into the input area of this tool. The copied data is automatically in TSV format with tab separators.
Paste your TSV data (copied from a spreadsheet or a .tsv file) into the input area on the left, or click Sample to load an example. The Markdown table output appears instantly on the right. Click Copy to copy it, or Download to save as a .md file. No data is sent to any server.
Yes, the tool handles any number of columns. It automatically detects the maximum column count across all rows and normalizes each row to match. Missing cells at the end of a row are filled with empty strings.
Pipe characters (|) in cell values are automatically escaped as \| to prevent breaking the Markdown table syntax. This ensures the output is a valid Markdown table even when cell values contain pipe characters.
