HTML to Excel Converter

About HTML to Excel Converter

The HTML to Excel converter lets you take any valid HTML table and turn it into a clean, downloadable Excel XLSX spreadsheet in seconds. It is ideal when you already have tabular data on a web page and want to analyze it in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or other spreadsheet tools without copying and pasting cell by cell.

Key Features

• HTML table to Excel conversion: Automatically extracts data from standard HTML <table> markup and converts it to XLSX.
• Header detection: Recognizes <thead>, <th> and first-row headers so column names are preserved in Excel.
• Optional header styling: Apply bold styling and colored header background to make exported spreadsheets easier to read.
• Large table support: Handles multi-row and multi-column tables, showing a preview of the first 10 rows while keeping the full data in the download.
• File upload or paste: Upload an .html file from your computer or paste raw HTML table code directly into the editor.
• Instant preview: Live preview lets you verify that the HTML to Excel conversion is correct before you generate the XLSX file.

How to Use

1. Paste or upload HTML: Paste HTML containing a <table> element or upload an .html file with one or more tables.
2. Enable header styling (optional): Turn on “Apply header styling” if you want bold, colored header rows in the exported Excel sheet.
3. Review the preview: Check the rows and columns in the Excel preview to confirm data, headers, and column counts are correct.
4. Download XLSX: Click Download XLSX to export the table as an Excel file you can open in Excel, Sheets, Numbers, or any compatible spreadsheet app.

Example: HTML Table to Excel Spreadsheet

HTML input:

<table>
	  <thead>
	    <tr>
	      <th>Name</th>
	      <th>Age</th>
	      <th>Country</th>
	    </tr>
	  </thead>
	  <tbody>
	    <tr>
	      <td>John</td>
	      <td>28</td>
	      <td>USA</td>
	    </tr>
	    <tr>
	      <td>Maria</td>
	      <td>31</td>
	      <td>Spain</td>
	    </tr>
	  </tbody>
	</table>

Excel output: An .xlsx file with three columns (Name, Age, Country) and all rows preserved, ready for filtering, pivot tables, and charts.

Popular Use Cases

• Web scraping to Excel: After scraping HTML tables from websites, quickly convert them into Excel spreadsheets for further analysis.
• Exporting reports: Turn HTML-based dashboards or admin reports into Excel files you can share with stakeholders.
• Data migration: Move legacy HTML table data into modern spreadsheet-based workflows or BI tools.
• Email report extraction: Convert HTML email reports (for analytics, sales, KPIs) into Excel for sorting and filtering.
• Backup and archiving: Store web-based tabular data as Excel files for offline access and long-term storage.

Best Practices for Accurate Conversion

• Ensure your data is wrapped in a single, well‑formed <table> element.
• Use a header row (<thead> and <th>) for clear column names in Excel.
• Avoid nested tables inside cells if you want a simple, flat Excel structure.
• Keep numeric values as plain text (no extra symbols) if you want Excel to treat them as numbers.

FAQ

• Does this tool support multiple tables on one page?
  The converter currently focuses on the first HTML table it finds in your input. If your page has multiple tables, paste or isolate the one you want to export.
• Can I open the XLSX file in Google Sheets or LibreOffice?
  Yes. The generated file is a standard Excel XLSX document that works in Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, Apple Numbers, and other spreadsheet applications.
• Will my CSS styles be preserved?
  This tool focuses on exporting the data rather than layout. You can optionally style the header row, but complex CSS (colors, fonts, borders) is not replicated in Excel.
• Is there a row or column limit?
  The preview shows the first 10 rows for performance reasons, but the downloaded Excel file includes all rows and columns present in the HTML table, subject to typical browser memory limits.
