Excel to HTML Table Converter

Once you have your HTML table code, you can paste it directly into:

• WordPress and CMS editors: Switch to the HTML or Code editor in WordPress, Squarespace, or Webflow and paste the table code where you want the data to appear.
• HTML email campaigns: HTML tables are the standard layout method for email. Export your data, add inline CSS styles, and paste into your email builder's HTML editor. Tables render correctly across Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail.
• Static websites: Paste directly into your HTML file. The optional CSS block includes everything needed to style the table cleanly without an external stylesheet.
• Content management systems: Any CMS that exposes an HTML source editor accepts raw table code — Drupal, Joomla, Ghost, and others.
• Documentation tools: Confluence, Notion (via embed), and many developer wikis accept HTML blocks where table code can be pasted.

If you need a Markdown table instead of HTML, use the Excel to Markdown Table converter.

Excel data often contains workbook-only formatting that does not belong on a webpage: merged cells, hidden columns, blank rows, wrapped text, formulas, and number formats that only make sense inside Excel. A clean HTML export should focus on the table structure first: headers in the first row, one record per row, and clear column names.

Before converting, check that your sheet has a single header row and no separate title rows above the data. If the first row contains a report title instead of column names, the generated HTML table will use that title as a header cell. For web publishing, move the title into your page content and keep the spreadsheet table itself clean.

If your Excel file contains formulas, the browser tool exports the visible values, not the formula logic. That is usually correct for publishing because readers need the final numbers, not the calculation behind them. If you need to document formulas separately, use the Excel Formula Extractor before publishing the table.

For accessibility, keep header labels short and descriptive. Avoid blank header cells, repeated labels like "Column 1", and symbols that make no sense outside the workbook. Screen readers and search engines understand tables better when each column has a meaningful heading.

Use an HTML table when the data will appear directly on a webpage or in an HTML email. Use CSV when the data is meant for import into another system. Use Markdown when the table belongs in developer documentation, GitHub README files, Obsidian notes, or Markdown-based static sites.

HTML gives you the most control over styling and layout, but it is also more verbose. CSV is compact but has no presentation layer. Markdown is readable, but large Markdown tables can become awkward to edit by hand. This tool is designed for the moment when the final destination is a webpage and you need ready-to-paste table markup without opening a code editor.
