About the Excel to HTML Converter

This converter turns Excel spreadsheets into clean, semantic HTML tables that you can embed in web pages, blogs, documentation, or dashboards. It is perfect when you want to publish spreadsheet data on the web without manually rewriting HTML.

Key Features

  • Excel file support: Accepts .xlsx and .xls files.
  • Optional header row: Use the first row as a table header (<thead>) or treat all rows as data.
  • Responsive-friendly markup: Generates a <table> with utility classes (table-auto, w-full, etc.) for easy styling.
  • Live preview: See how your HTML table will render in the built-in preview panel.
  • Copy & download: Copy the HTML markup or download it as an .html file.
  • Local conversion: Your Excel file is processed in the browser, not on a server.

How to Convert Excel to HTML

  1. Upload your Excel file: Drag and drop your spreadsheet or click the upload area to choose a .xlsx / .xls file.
  2. Choose header options: If your first row contains column names, keep "First row is header" checked so they become table headers.
  3. Wait for conversion: The tool reads the first worksheet and builds the HTML table markup for you.
  4. Preview and export: Review the rendered table in the preview area, then copy or download the HTML for your site.

Example: Excel Table to HTML Table

Example Excel table:

  • Row 1: Product, Price
  • Row 2: Notebook, 9.99
  • Row 3: Pen, 1.49

The generated HTML will look similar to:

<table class="table-auto w-full text-left">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th class="border px-4 py-2">Product</th>
      <th class="border px-4 py-2">Price</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td class="border px-4 py-2">Notebook</td>
      <td class="border px-4 py-2">9.99</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="border px-4 py-2">Pen</td>
      <td class="border px-4 py-2">1.49</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

You can style this table further using your own CSS framework or Tailwind classes.

FAQ – Excel to HTML Converter

Which sheet is used to generate the HTML table?

The tool uses the first worksheet in your Excel file. If your data is on another sheet, move it to the first position.

Does cell formatting (colors, fonts) carry over?

No. The converter focuses on content and structure (rows and columns). You can apply your own styles via CSS once you embed the HTML.

Can I edit the HTML before using it?

Yes. The output is plain HTML. You can edit it directly in your code editor, CMS, or WYSIWYG editor before publishing.

Is my Excel file uploaded or stored anywhere?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your Excel data is not sent to any server.
