How do I make a table in LaTeX?
Fastest path: build it visually above and copy the generated code. The output uses the booktabs package by default (\toprule/\midrule/\bottomrule) — the style journals and thesis templates expect — with a plain \hline mode if you prefer.
What is booktabs and should I use it?
booktabs is the standard package for professional-looking tables: proper spacing, no vertical rules, clean horizontal rules. Nearly every modern journal template loads it. Add \usepackage{booktabs} to your preamble — the generated code reminds you.
How do I add a caption and label?
Fill the caption and label fields — the generator wraps your tabular in a table float with \caption and \label so you can reference it with \ref{tab:my-table}.
Can I paste from Excel?
Cell-by-cell for now — paste-from-spreadsheet is on the roadmap. For big data tables, consider generating LaTeX directly from pandas (df.to_latex) and using this tool for layout tweaks.
What happens to my files?
Uploads are used only to run your conversion and stored briefly so you can download results. Client-side tools (table generator, BibTeX) never upload anything at all. We don't share files or train on them.
