Processing and privacy: The result is calculated inside your browser and your data is not sent to any server.
How to use it
- Enter markdown table and output csv delimiter.
- The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.
- Copy the result, or copy a link that keeps the same values to share it.
How it is calculated
Each line with | is split at every unescaped |, the --- separator row is dropped, and cells are written with RFC 4180 rules, quoting any cell that holds the delimiter, a quote or a line break.
Example
Inputs: Output CSV delimiter = Comma ,. Result: CSV: product,price,qty Tea,12.5,3 Coffee,18,2; Rows: 3; Columns: 3.
| product | price | qty | | --- | ---: | ---: | | Tea | 12.5 | 3 | | Coffee | 18 | 2 |
product,price,qty Tea,12.5,3 Coffee,18,2
Limits and caveats
- One table at a time: every line containing | is treated as a row.
- Markdown formatting inside cells, such as **bold** or links, is kept as plain text.
Questions about this tool
Must every row start with a |?
No. Rows with or without leading and trailing | are read the same way.
What happens to the --- separator row?
It is removed because it only carries formatting, so alignment is not stored in the CSV.
When should I pick the semicolon?
Pick it if your Excel uses a comma as the decimal mark, so the file opens in the right columns.
