Features at a glance
- Auto-detect delimiter: detects comma, semicolon, or tab, with a custom delimiter option.
- Header row toggle: treat the first row as headers or render all rows as body.
- Sort and filter: click headers to sort ascending or descending, and filter visible rows live.
- Pagination: choose rows per page to keep long tables fast and readable.
- Transpose: swap rows and columns for narrow layouts or matrix data.
- Sticky header and zebra rows: keep context while scrolling, improve scan speed.
- One-click export: copy or download clean HTML that you can paste into blogs and CMS (compare revisions with the Code Diff Checker).
- Private by design: everything runs in your browser, no upload required.
How it works
- Open the Quick Table Generator.
- Paste CSV or upload a .csv file. The tool auto-detects the delimiter (use Custom for
|or^). - Choose options like header row, trim cells, escape HTML, and numeric alignment for right-aligned numbers.
- Use sort, filter, and pagination to inspect and verify data.
- Click Copy HTML or Download HTML to export a ready-to-use table with a responsive wrapper.
Tip: If your CSV has commas inside cells, enclose the cell in quotes. The generator handles quoted commas, line breaks, and escaped quotes. For quick test data, try the Random Text Generator.
Accessibility and semantics
- Captions: add a concise caption to summarize what the table shows.
- Header scope: column headers are rendered with
th scope="col"for screen readers. - Aria sort: sorting updates
aria-sortso keyboard and assistive tech users get state feedback. - Sticky context: sticky headers preserve meaning as users scroll through long tables.
- Responsive overflow: the wrapper enables horizontal scroll on small screens without breaking layout.
Content and data workflow
Keep data tidy before you generate tables. Clean whitespace with the Whitespace and Formatting Cleaner, remove blanks using Remove Empty Lines, and check counts with the Word and Character Counter. For column prep and CSV shaping, try the Text to List - List to Text Converter.
Publishing technical notes? Render equations as crisp images using the Math Formula Renderer, generate polished references with the BibTeX to Citation Converter, and standardize headings with the Case Converter. If you minify or pretty-print the exported HTML for reviews, see the Minifier & Beautifier guide and open the tool.
Use cases
- Blog and CMS: paste CSV from Sheets and publish a responsive table with captions and sorting (full walkthrough in the Quick Table Generator guide).
- Reports and docs: generate markup for dashboards and specs that require clean alignment and numeric right alignment.
- Education: present lab results or rubric tables with sticky headers for long data sets.
- Ecommerce data: list SKUs, price columns, and stock with quick filtering and pagination for review.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Quick Table Generator free?
- Yes. It is free for normal use and there is no sign in.
- Do you upload or store my inputs?
- No. Everything runs in your browser. Your CSV stays on your device.
- Can I use a custom delimiter like pipe or caret?
- Yes. Choose Custom in the delimiter menu and enter your character.
- How do I keep wide tables usable on mobile?
- Use the responsive wrapper provided. It enables horizontal scroll and keeps headers sticky for context.
- Can I copy only the table without the wrapper?
- Yes. Paste the HTML into your editor and remove the outer div if your theme already handles overflow. To compare before/after markup, use the Code Diff Checker.
