HTML Table Generator
Build an HTML table by typing directly into a grid, with a live preview and copyable markup.
How this tool works
Set rows and columns
Choose the table dimensions and toggle whether the first row is a header.
Type into the grid
Fill in each cell directly, spreadsheet-style - resizing preserves what you’ve typed.
Check the live preview
A rendered table above the code updates as you type, so you see the real result.
Copy the markup
Semantic HTML with thead/tbody and escaped cell content, ready to paste anywhere.

About this tool
Set the number of rows and columns, toggle whether the first row is a header, and type content directly into a spreadsheet-like grid to build an HTML table without hand-writing markup. The generated HTML uses semantic <thead>/<tbody> structure when a header row is enabled, with <th> cells for the header and <td> cells for the body, and every cell value is HTML-escaped so pasted content containing "&", "<", or ">" doesn’t break the output or accidentally inject markup. A live rendered preview sits above the code output, updating as you type, so you can confirm the table looks right before copying the markup into a page, email template, or documentation. Resizing rows or columns preserves whatever you’ve already typed into the grid rather than clearing it, so you can start small and expand as needed. Useful for quickly drafting a comparison table, a pricing grid, or a simple data table for a README or email without reaching for a spreadsheet export. Runs entirely client-side.
Why use this tool
No hand-written markup
Type content into cells directly instead of writing tr/td tags by hand.
Live rendered preview
See the actual table appearance before copying the code, not just the raw markup.
Semantic, escaped output
Uses proper thead/tbody structure and escapes special characters so the output is safe to embed.
Resize without losing data
Changing row or column count keeps existing cell content instead of resetting the grid.
Frequently asked questions
No - the output is bare semantic HTML (table, thead, tbody, tr, th, td) with no inline styles or classes, so it inherits whatever styling your page already applies to tables. This keeps the markup portable across different sites and email clients rather than baking in styling choices that might conflict with your existing CSS.
Every cell value is HTML-escaped before being inserted into the output, so "&" becomes "&amp;" and "<" becomes "&lt;" in the generated markup - this prevents special characters from being misread as the start of an HTML tag or entity, and keeps the live preview accurate to what you actually typed.
Yes - increasing the row or column count adds new empty cells while keeping all existing content in place, and decreasing it trims from the end rather than clearing the whole grid. This makes it practical to start with a rough size and adjust as you go.
