Markdown Table to CSV Converter

Convert a Markdown table (`| col1 | col2 |`) into CSV or TSV. Handy for pulling tables exported from GitHub Wiki, Notion, or Confluence into Excel or a spreadsheet. Conversion runs entirely in your browser; no data is sent to a server.

How a Markdown table row maps to a CSV row

          

            

              
                

                  One Markdown row
                  | name | age | city |
                

                

                  Resulting CSV row
                  name,age,city
                

              
            

          

          
The delimiter row right after the header (`---`, `:---`, `:---:`, or `---:`) is skipped rather than treated as data. Any escaped pipe (`\|`) inside a cell is restored to a plain "|" character.

        

      

    

  

  

  
  
  

    

      

        
Tips

        
    
                      
  • The delimiter row right after the header is detected and skipped automatically, so `---`, `:---` (left), `:---:` (center), and `---:` (right) all convert without issue regardless of alignment.
    • 
                      
  • Disabling "Include the header row in the output" produces a CSV containing only the data rows, without the header — handy when you want to manage the header separately.
    • 
                      
  • If a cell value contains a comma or a double quote, it is automatically wrapped in double quotes per CSV rules, with any internal `"` escaped as `""`.
    • 
                      
  • Pair this with the CSV-to-Markdown-table converter to convert between CSV and Markdown tables as many times as you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

          

                          

                

                  
                

                

                  
This supports GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) table syntax made up of a header row, a delimiter row (like `---`), and data rows. If no delimiter row is found, the input isn't recognized as a valid table and no result is shown.

                

              

                          

                

                  
                

                

                  
Yes. Both the `| a | b |` style (wrapped in pipes) and the `a | b` style (leading/trailing pipes omitted) are supported, since GFM allows either notation.

                

              

                          

                

                  
                

                

                  
Yes, select comma or tab under "Output delimiter." TSV has the advantage of being less prone to column misalignment when pasted into Excel or a spreadsheet.

                

              

                          

                

                  
                

                

                  
No. All conversion happens in JavaScript running in your browser, and the content you enter is never transmitted to any server.

Side Note — what actually differs between a Markdown table and a CSV

                  
CSV and Markdown tables are both text-based ways of representing tabular data, but they serve different purposes. CSV is a machine-readable format meant to be read and written by programs — spreadsheets, databases, and the like — while a Markdown table is a documentation-oriented notation that prioritizes letting a human glance at the raw source and still make out roughly what the table looks like.

                  
That's why a Markdown table has concepts CSV lacks: a header row and a delimiter row (`---`). Visually this delimiter row renders as a rule line, but in the source it's nothing more than a run of hyphens — a piece of Markdown-specific notation that exists purely to tell the parser "everything above this is the header, everything below is data."

                  
Wanting to move a table authored in a documentation tool like GitHub Wiki, Notion, or Confluence into a spreadsheet comes up often when tidying up team meeting notes or a README. Having this tool alongside its counterpart — CSV to Markdown table — means you can start from either format and convert without hesitation.
