How the conversion works

Paste your MD Table on the left and press Convert. The tool first parses the MD Table (reading the header row, the --- separator and each data row, honoring \| escapes) into an internal table of rows and columns, then writes it out as TSV (separating columns with tabs). If the input cannot be parsed you get a plain-English error instead of a broken file.

Where this comes in handy

People reach for this converter when reusing tables from READMEs, wikis or notes and tab-separated data is needed for spreadsheets or terminals. Because everything runs locally in your browser, it is also handy for quick one-off migrations without installing database tools or writing throwaway scripts.

MD Table to TSV FAQs

Will it work with tables from GitHub READMEs?

Yes. Standard GitHub flavored Markdown tables parse correctly, with or without leading and trailing pipes.

Does the separator row matter?

Yes. The line of dashes (---) marks where the header ends and the data begins. Alignment hints like :---: or ---: are accepted and ignored.

Why choose TSV over CSV?

Tabs rarely appear inside cell text, so TSV survives copy-paste through spreadsheets and terminals with fewer quoting surprises.

How are tabs inside cells handled?

Cells containing tabs are wrapped in double quotes, the same rule CSV uses, so the column structure stays intact.

Is this converter free to use?

Yes. It is completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks and no usage caps.
