Why this tool

Copy-paste from web pages never works cleanly.

Selecting a table on a web page and pasting it into Excel usually produces merged cells, broken rows, and lost headers. This tool reads the HTML directly and gives you clean, structured data every time.

Broken formatting on paste

When you select a table on a web page and paste into Excel, cells merge, rows split, and headers disappear. This tool parses the HTML structure and produces a clean spreadsheet.

Tables that can't be selected

Some web pages disable text selection or render tables in ways that make highlighting impossible. Paste the HTML source instead and extract the data directly.

No export button on the page

Many websites and dashboards don't offer an export or download option. If the data is in the HTML, this tool gets it out — no API access needed.

Too many tables to copy manually

When a page has multiple tables, copying them one by one is tedious. This tool finds all tables at once and lets you pick which to export.

Data locked behind JavaScript

If a table is rendered server-side and visible in the page source, you can grab the HTML and extract the data — even if the page itself is hard to scrape.

Need it in CSV, not Excel?

Some workflows require CSV for importing into databases or scripts. Export to CSV with one click, or copy as TSV for direct paste into spreadsheets.

About this tool

How does the HTML Table to Excel converter work?

This tool takes HTML source code — either pasted directly or fetched from a URL — and uses the browser's built-in DOMParser to find every <table> element. It then extracts the text content from each cell, preserving the row and column structure exactly as it appears in the source HTML.

For Excel export, the tool generates a SpreadsheetML document that opens directly in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice Calc. For CSV export, each cell is properly escaped — commas, quotes, and line breaks inside cell values are handled correctly per RFC 4180.

The URL fetch mode uses a server-side proxy to bypass browser CORS restrictions. The target page is fetched by our server, and the HTML is returned to your browser for parsing. This means you can extract tables from pages that would normally block cross-origin requests — but note that pages requiring login, JavaScript rendering, or bot detection may not work.

All table parsing happens in your browser. When you use the URL mode, the page HTML passes through our server once but is never stored. When you paste HTML directly, nothing leaves your device at all.

For pages with dynamically rendered tables (React, AG Grid, Ant Design, virtual scrolling), the HTML source may not contain the table data. In those cases, the Table Extractor browser extension is the right tool — it scans the live DOM after JavaScript has rendered.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert an HTML table to Excel?

Paste the HTML source code (or enter a URL) into the tool, click 'Extract tables', then click 'Excel' to download a spreadsheet file that opens directly in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice Calc.

Can I extract tables from a URL?

Yes. Switch to 'From URL' mode, enter the full URL of the web page (including https://), and click 'Extract tables'. The tool fetches the page server-side and extracts all tables. Note that pages requiring login, JavaScript rendering, or bot detection may not work.

What export formats are supported?

Three options: Excel (.xls file download), CSV (comma-separated values file download), and Copy (copies tab-separated values to your clipboard for direct pasting into any spreadsheet application).

Is this tool free?

Yes, this HTML table to Excel converter is completely free. There are no limits on the number of tables you can extract, no registration required, and no hidden costs.

Does this tool send my data to a server?

When you paste HTML directly, all parsing happens in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere. When you use the URL mode, the target page HTML passes through our server once for fetching but is never stored. The table extraction itself always happens locally in your browser.

Why can't I extract tables from some web pages via URL?

There are three common reasons: (1) the page requires login, (2) the table is rendered by JavaScript after the page loads (the HTML source is empty), or (3) the site blocks automated requests. For JavaScript-rendered tables, use the Table Extractor browser extension which scans the live DOM.

How is this different from the Table Extractor browser extension?

This online tool parses static HTML source code — useful when you have HTML or a publicly accessible URL. The browser extension runs inside your browser and scans the fully rendered DOM, allowing it to detect React tables, AG Grid, Ant Design, virtual scrolling, and 27+ other table types that don't exist in the HTML source.

Can I extract multiple tables at once?

Yes. The tool finds all <table> elements in the HTML. If multiple tables are detected, a dropdown lets you switch between them. You can export each table individually to Excel or CSV.

Does it work on mobile devices?

Yes, the tool is fully responsive and works on smartphones and tablets. You can paste HTML or enter a URL on any device with a modern browser.
