What Convert CSV to ANSI Table can do:

Convert CSV to ANSI Table takes your spreadsheet-like data and formats it into visually clean, fixed-width ASCII tables using characters like +, |, and -. This is useful when you’re working with plain text environments terminals, console logs, or markdown files where visual structure matters but graphical tools aren’t available. You get full control over whether to display headers and see the preview change live. Perfect for readable output you can drop into code comments, documentation, or shell logs.

Example:

Input:

name,age,city
Alice,30,London
Bob,25,Paris
Charlie,35,New York

Output (header included):

+---------+-----+-----------+
| name    | age | city      |
+---------+-----+-----------+
| Alice   | 30  | London    |
| Bob     | 25  | Paris     |
| Charlie | 35  | New York  |
+---------+-----+-----------+

Output (header off):

+---------+-----+-----------+
| name    | age | city      |
| Alice   | 30  | London    |
| Bob     | 25  | Paris     |
| Charlie | 35  | New York  |
+---------+-----+-----------+

Common Use Cases:

Whether you’re writing documentation, formatting CLI outputs, or presenting tabular data inside a markdown file, this tool makes it easy to convert CSV into neatly aligned ASCII tables.
