LaTeX Table Generator — Spreadsheet Data to Publication-Ready Tables

Paste rows straight from Excel, Google Sheets or CSV and get clean, compilable LaTeX table code — booktabs rules, alternating row colors, column alignment and width control handled for you.

What is the IhateLaTeX Table Generator?

IhateLaTeX runs entirely in your browser via a WebAssembly pdfTeX engine — no servers, no sign-up, no uploads. Every tool below is 100% free with unlimited use. The Table Wizard converts raw spreadsheet cells into semantic LaTeX table code using the professional booktabs style preferred by journals, theses and IEEE/ACM papers.

Key Features of the LaTeX Table Generator

Paste directly from Excel & Sheets

Copy any range and paste — tab-separated cells are parsed into rows and columns automatically, including empty cells.

booktabs-quality output

Generates \toprule, \midrule and \bottomrule instead of ugly vertical lines — the formatting journals and reviewers expect.

Flexible column styles

Left/center/right alignment, fixed widths with tabularx, bold headers, and optional zebra striping via colortbl.

Live preview & one-click copy

See exactly how your table compiles, tweak options, then copy the full snippet into Overleaf, TeXstudio or the IhateLaTeX editor.

Merged cells support

Multirow and multicolumn spans are emitted as proper \multirow / \multicolumn commands.

100% private & offline

Parsing and code generation happen locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded — works without internet once loaded.

How to Use It (Step by Step)

  1. Copy your table from Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers or a CSV file.
  2. Paste it into the input area — rows and columns are detected automatically.
  3. Pick a style: classic booktabs, striped rows, grid, or full-width tabularx.
  4. Adjust alignment, header formatting and caption/label if needed.
  5. Copy the generated LaTeX code or download it, then compile anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert an Excel table to LaTeX?

Select the cells in Excel, press Ctrl/Cmd+C, open the IhateLaTeX Table Generator, paste, and click Generate. You receive complete LaTeX tabular code with booktabs rules that you can paste into any document.

What is the booktabs style in LaTeX tables?

booktabs is the standard LaTeX package for professional tables. It replaces vertical rules and double lines with three weights of horizontal rule (\toprule, \midrule, \bottomrule), which is the typography journals like IEEE, ACM, Elsevier and Springer expect.

Can the generator handle wide tables that overflow the page?

Yes. Choose the tabularx mode to auto-fit columns to the text width, or rotate wide tables with sidewaystable. Column widths can also be fixed manually in centimeters.

Is my spreadsheet data uploaded anywhere?

No. Parsing and LaTeX generation happen entirely in your browser via JavaScript/WASM. Your data never leaves your device, and the tool keeps working offline.
