Clean HTML Tables From Your Spreadsheets

When you paste Excel data directly into WordPress, Webflow, or any website builder, Microsoft's export produces bloated <table> markup buried inside inline styles and obsolete mso- classes. Those tables break responsive layouts and make your HTML unmaintainable. This tool extracts the actual data structure—converting Excel sheets into semantic, standards-compliant HTML table markup that works everywhere.

First Row Automatically Becomes Your Table Header

The converter treats your spreadsheet's first row as column headers and outputs it wrapped in <thead> with <th> elements. Every row below becomes <tbody><tr><td> structure. Here's what the emitted markup looks like:

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr><th>Name</th><th>Role</th></tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr><td>Ada Lovelace</td><td>Engineer</td></tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

This semantic structure is understood by browsers, screen readers, and search engines—unlike the bloated output from pasting Excel into a rich text editor.

Handles Multiple Sheets and HTML-Escapes All Values

If your workbook contains multiple sheets, a dropdown lets you pick which one to convert. The tool automatically HTML-escapes every cell value, so if a cell contains <b> or an ampersand, it renders as literal text (not as HTML tags). This keeps your output safe to embed anywhere without injection risks.

What Gets Left Behind

Cell colors, fonts, borders, and any visual formatting do not transfer—only the data structure. Formulas are evaluated to their computed values, not exported as formula text. Merged cells are not preserved (each cell stands alone). Styling is yours to add: target the emitted table from your own stylesheet. If you would rather feed the data into a script or another app than publish it, Excel to JSON and Excel to CSV hand you the same values without any markup.
