About this Tool
Use this Markdown Table Formatter to make an existing pipe table easier to read and maintain. The formatter parses the table, normalizes separator rows, aligns cell padding, keeps empty cells visible, and preserves column alignment choices. It is focused on table syntax, so surrounding prose should stay outside the formatting operation unless selected explicitly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my Markdown table text uploaded to a server?
No. The tool parses, transforms, previews, and exports data locally in your browser without uploading your input.
How are Markdown pipes and alignment rows handled?
The parser should recognize the header row, separator row, alignment markers, escaped pipes where possible, and regular body rows.
Does formatting change cell values?
It should change whitespace around cells and separator rows, not the actual cell text.
Can it repair missing columns?
It can report uneven rows and may add empty cells when the intent is clear, but ambiguous table damage should be shown for review.
Will alignment markers be preserved?
Yes. Existing left, center, and right alignment markers should be preserved unless the user changes them.
