What Markdown table format is supported?

Standard GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM) pipe tables are supported — rows separated by | characters, with an optional header separator row of dashes. Alignment colons in the separator row are ignored.

Is my data sent to any server?

No. All processing happens in your browser. Your Markdown text never leaves your device — the .xlsx file is generated entirely client-side using the SheetJS library.

How are multiple tables handled?

Each table found in the pasted text becomes a separate sheet in the output file. Sheets are named "Table 1", "Table 2", and so on in the order they appear.

What happens if my Markdown has no tables?

The tool shows a message indicating no tables were found. Only pipe-delimited tables are detected; code blocks and indented tables are not parsed.

What is the maximum table size?

There is no hard limit — the tool handles tables with hundreds of rows and dozens of columns. Very large tables may take a moment to process.

Can I use this offline?

The SheetJS library is loaded from a CDN on first visit. After that, your browser may cache it. For full offline use, save the page locally.
