How to turn a data table into LaTeX

Paste rows from Excel, Numbers or a CSV and get a publication-ready LaTeX table, with a live preview and copy/download.

1

Paste your data

Tab- or comma-separated, one row per line. The first row is treated as the header. Click Example to see the format.

2

Choose the style

Pick an environment (table / table* / sidewaystable), a style (booktabs, standard lines, or full grid) and column alignment.

3

Add caption & label

Optionally set a caption and a \label for cross-referencing.

4

Copy or download

Grab the generated source with Copy or save a .tex file with Download.

How it works

Reserved characters are escaped

Cell contents are LaTeX-escaped so characters like & % $ # _ { } ~ ^ \ won't break compilation. A recent fix corrected backslash handling that previously emitted broken \textbackslash\{\}.

Package reminders included

When you pick booktabs or a landscape table, the output is prefixed with the exact \usepackage{…} your document needs, as comments, so the snippet compiles as-is.

For multi-word cells, use tab or comma separation. Space separation is only a last resort and will split values like “New York” into two columns. The booktabs style requires \usepackage{booktabs}; landscape tables require \usepackage{rotating} (both are noted in the output).

Frequently asked questions

Is my data uploaded?
No. Parsing, preview and LaTeX generation all happen locally in your browser.
Which delimiters are supported?
Tab first, then comma, then whitespace. Tab or comma is recommended so multi-word cells stay intact.
Do I need extra packages?
booktabs style needs \usepackage{booktabs}; sidewaystable needs \usepackage{rotating}. The tool adds these as comment reminders.
Are special characters handled?
Yes. Reserved LaTeX characters in your cells are escaped so the table compiles cleanly.
Which row is the header?
The first non-empty row. It is placed above the mid-rule / first line.
