Paste your markdown document and instantly generate a linked table of contents. Supports nesting levels and GitHub-compatible anchor styles.
The Markdown Table of Contents Generator by TooliFyra is a free online tool that parses your markdown document and generates a linked table of contents from all headings. It supports H1 through H6 headings with configurable nesting depth and anchor styles compatible with GitHub, GitLab, and other markdown renderers.
The generated ToC uses markdown link syntax, so you can paste it directly into your README, documentation, or any markdown file. Each heading becomes a clickable anchor link that navigates to the corresponding section.
Manually creating a table of contents for long markdown documents is tedious and error-prone. The free markdown ToC generator automates the entire process, ensuring every heading is properly linked and formatted. It saves time on documentation projects and ensures your ToC stays consistent with the actual heading structure.
Developers: Generate ToC for README files, API documentation, and technical guides.
Technical Writers: Create navigation for long-form documentation and wikis.
Open Source Projects: Add professional table of contents to project documentation.
Students & Researchers: Organize thesis, reports, and research papers with linked navigation.
TooliFyra provides a fast, accurate, and free markdown ToC generator with full control over nesting depth and anchor formatting. The tool runs entirely in your browser — no file uploads, no server processing. Generate a professional table of contents in seconds.
