Tables Generator vs BrowserUtils

Tables Generator (TablesGenerator.com) is a spreadsheet-style table editor that outputs LaTeX, HTML, plain text, Markdown, MediaWiki, Typst, AsciiDoc and CSV. Its LaTeX generator, with booktabs and merged-cell support, is the main draw.

Where Tables Generator is better

  • Generates LaTeX tables with merged cells, per-cell borders, captions, booktabs style and text-width (tabularx) layouts, and names the packages the table needs. BrowserUtils has no LaTeX table tool.
  • Paste cells straight from Excel, Google Sheets or LibreOffice and keep merged cells, bold text, alignment, colors and borders. It also imports .xlsx and CSV files and existing LaTeX table code.
  • Outputs Typst, MediaWiki, AsciiDoc and plain-text tables as well as Markdown and HTML.
  • The editor merges and splits cells, transposes, sorts rows and does find-and-replace. BrowserUtils' HTML and Markdown table generators are plain grids.

Where BrowserUtils is better

  • Converts between CSV and JSON in both directions. Tables Generator doesn't output JSON.
  • Paste a JSON array and see it as a sortable, searchable table.
  • Every step runs in your browser. Tables Generator builds its code locally, but "Save as file (.tgn)" sends the table to its server to create the file.
