About this tool

Column Formatter takes rows of delimited text and aligns them into clean, evenly spaced columns so the values line up perfectly in any monospace font. Paste data where each line is one row, choose how the columns are separated (auto detect, runs of whitespace, tabs, commas, pipes, or your own custom delimiter), and the tool measures the widest value in every column and pads the rest to match. You control the result: align text to the left or right, set the number of spaces between columns, optionally trim stray spaces inside each cell, and choose an output style of plain space padded columns, pipe separated columns, or a ready to paste Markdown table. Column widths are measured by visible character count using code points, so accented letters and emoji count as a single column rather than throwing off the spacing. It is handy for tidying up console and log output, lining up configuration values, reformatting ragged copied data, turning a CSV row dump into a readable table, or producing fixed width text for code comments and plain text documents. Everything runs in your browser, so your text is never uploaded.
