HTML Safety

All data is properly HTML-escaped to prevent XSS vulnerabilities. Special characters like <, >, &, and quotes are automatically converted to their HTML entity equivalents.

Browser Compatibility

The generated HTML and CSS are compatible with all modern browsers including:

Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari (latest versions)
Mobile browsers (iOS Safari, Chrome Mobile)
Internet Explorer 11+ (with graceful degradation)

Privacy & Security

All conversions happen locally in your browser. Your MySQL data is never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.

FAQ

Does this tool infer data types or formats?

No. The converter treats all values as plain text when generating HTML. If you need numeric formatting, links, or custom styling, apply that manually in your own CSS or JavaScript.

Can I style the table with my own CSS instead?

Yes. Disable the 22Add CSS Styling22 option and you27ll get a clean <table> structure that you can style with your own CSS framework or design system.

What happens if my MySQL dump has multiple tables?

The parser is optimized for a single table definition with related INSERT statements. If your dump contains multiple tables, convert one table at a time for best results.

Are very large tables supported?

Yes, but extremely large tables may be slow to render in the browser. For large datasets, consider paginating or summarizing the data before converting to HTML.

Is any of my data sent to a server?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored on any external server.
