An ASCII table is a text-based representation of tabular data using only ASCII characters like |, -, and +. It’s widely used in plain-text environments such as terminal output, README files, emails, and code comments where visual formatting isn’t available.

Simply type your data into the editable grid above. You can add or remove rows and columns using the buttons. Choose a style (Basic, Grid, Double, Clean, or Markdown) and the ASCII output updates instantly. Use the Copy button to copy the generated table to your clipboard, or download it as a .txt file.

Yes! Click the Import button and paste your CSV (comma-separated) or TSV (tab-separated) data. The grid will automatically populate with your data, preserving rows and columns.

• Basic – Clean pipes and dashes, ideal for general use.
• Grid – Uses plus signs at intersections, perfect for complex tables.
• Double – Double lines for a bold, retro look.
• Clean – No borders, just padded alignment; great for plain-text alignment.
• Markdown – Generates a table compatible with Markdown parsers (e.g., GitHub README).

Absolutely. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your table data is never sent to any server. You can use this tool offline once the page is loaded.

The generator automatically calculates the maximum width of each column and pads shorter cells with spaces. If you’re viewing the output in a proportional font (not monospace), alignment may appear off. Always use a monospace font like Courier New for accurate display.
