About this tool

A visual builder for HTML tables. Click to add rows and columns, type your data directly into the cells, and get clean, properly-indented HTML <table> markup ready to paste into your project. Toggle the first row as a header row (<thead> with <th> cells), set per-column text alignment with the inline selector on each cell, and add an optional <caption>.

Example: three columns — Name, Role, Team — with a header row produces a <thead>/<tbody> structure with the column labels in <th> and the data rows in <td>. All cell content is safely escaped so your HTML always works.

Use it when you need a quick HTML table for documentation, an email template, a README, or a static page — no need to hand-write <tr> and <td> tags. Download as a complete .html file or copy the <table> fragment for pasting into an existing page.

FAQ

Does this generate accessible tables? ›

It generates valid semantic HTML with <thead>, <tbody>, and <th> when the header row is enabled. For full accessibility you should add a scope attribute and a summary or aria-describedby on your own — those depend on the table's purpose and surrounding content.

Can I merge cells (colspan / rowspan)? ›

Not yet. The builder currently produces uniform grids — every row has the same number of columns. If you need merged cells you can take the generated HTML and add colspan/rowspan attributes by hand.

What happens if I leave a cell empty? ›

Empty cells output <code>&amp;nbsp;</code> (a non-breaking space) so the browser renders the cell border correctly. This is the standard convention for empty HTML table cells.

Does it add any CSS or inline styles? ›

Only the text-align style if you change a cell's alignment from the default (left). No colors, borders, or fonts are included — those belong in your own stylesheet.

Can I import existing CSV data? ›

This tool builds tables visually. If you already have CSV data, use the <a href="/tools/csv-to-html-table/">CSV to HTML Table Generator</a> — paste your CSV and get styled <code>&lt;table&gt;</code> markup with borders, stripes, and hover highlights.
