Flip rows and columns of any Markdown table. Great for turning wide tables into tall ones.
Free Markdown Table Transposer flips the rows and columns of any GFM pipe table. A wide 4-column × 3-row table becomes a tall 3-column × 4-row one — ideal for presenting time-series data as a narrow vertical list, or fitting wide tables into mobile-friendly layouts.

Transposing a table by hand is tedious — copy, rearrange, re-type, fix pipes. This runs locally in under 10 ms, returns a pretty-printed result, and is free forever.

Here's what this free tool does in detail — every feature is built to solve real problems, runs entirely in your browser, and is free forever.
Every cell [i][j] moves to position [j][i]. The first row (your old header) becomes the new first column. Ragged rows are auto-padded to a rectangle first, so missing cells don't cause alignment issues.
Pair with the Free Markdown Table Sorter to sort the transposed data, or the Free Markdown Table Merger to join with another dataset.
Pick which table to transpose with the Table # field. The rest of the document is preserved exactly as-is. Useful for reports with multiple data tables where only one needs reshaping.
Find every table in a large document with the Free Markdown Table to JSON tool, or export to CSV with Free Markdown to CSV.
The transposed table is re-rendered with aligned column widths. The separator row | --- | --- | grows to match the widest cell in each column, so the output stays readable in any text editor or source control diff.
Run the result through the Free Markdown Formatter for broader cleanup.
Transposing twice returns the original table (after pretty-print alignment). The tool never modifies cell content — only position. Markdown outside the target table is byte-for-byte untouched.
For non-table edits, try the Free Markdown Heading Shifter or the Free Markdown Linter.
Click Load example to see a 4-column × 3-row metrics table become 3-column × 4-row.
Use Table # to pick which table to transpose in a multi-table document. Leave at 0 if there's only one.

Turn wide time-series tables into tall ones for mobile-friendly layouts.
Flip request/response tables between column-major and row-major formats.
Reshape product comparison tables so each product gets a row instead of a column.
Convert horizontal datasets to vertical ones to fit within page margins.
Tall tables read better on narrow screens than wide ones.
