What Convert TSV to ASCII Table can do:

Convert TSV to ASCII Table takes your tab-separated values and transforms them into a text-based table with borders, spacing, and alignment. It’s perfect for sharing data in Markdown, plain text emails, terminal displays, or anywhere formatting matters but spreadsheets aren’t an option.

Each cell is auto-padded to align based on the widest entry in each column. The tool draws clean lines and frames to make your data easy to scan and compare. The preview updates live, so you can tweak and view results instantly.

Example:

Input:

name	age	city
Alice	30	NY
Bob	25	LA

Output:

+-------+-----+------+
| name  | age | city |
+-------+-----+------+
| Alice | 30  | NY   |
| Bob   | 25  | LA   |
+-------+-----+------+

Common Use Cases:

Use this tool to format TSV for documentation, log display, bug reports, or message boards where tables need to be text-only. It’s great for developers, writers, or support staff who want clarity without code or styling.
