About this tool
Line up comma-, tab- or space-separated data into neat columns, right-align numbers, turn it into a Markdown table, or pull out just the columns you need.
Rows are parsed like CSV (quotes respected) with the detected or chosen separator; each column is padded to its widest cell, counting visible characters.
Example: “name,qty / apple,3 / kiwi,12” → aligned columns with 3 and 12 right-aligned.
Columns only line up in a monospace font. For “spaces” input, columns are split at two or more spaces or a tab.

No. It is processed on your device in a separate background task that is stopped if it takes too long; nothing is stored or sent.
