ConvertWhat happens when you convert JSON to Markdown
- Arrays of objects become rows; nested objects become columns like address.city. JSON Lines files work too.
- The data becomes a GitHub-flavored Markdown table you can paste into READMEs, GitHub, GitLab, Notion, Obsidian and docs.
- Number columns are right-aligned, and pipes or line breaks inside cells are escaped so the table never breaks. Each sheet gets its own table.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to convert my files here?
Yes. Conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server, so nobody else can see them.
Is it free? Are there limits?
It's completely free, with no sign-up, watermarks or daily limits. The only limit is your device's memory for very large files.
Can I convert many JSON files at once?
Yes. Drop as many files as you like; they're converted one after another and you can download them all as a ZIP.
How is nested data handled?
Nested objects and elements become columns with paths like address.city (JSON) or author/name (XML), and converting back rebuilds the nesting.
Where can I paste a Markdown table?
GitHub and GitLab (issues, READMEs, wikis), Notion, Obsidian, Jira, Confluence, Reddit, Discord, and most static-site and docs tools.
