Convert XLSX (Excel) to HTML

Convert XLSX to HTML when the table has to go on the web: a price list on a site, an export mailed to someone who has no Excel, a report filed in a knowledge base.

What happens when you convert XLSX to HTML

A browser cannot show an Excel workbook, while HTML is exactly what it was built for. The result is one whole page: styles at the top, then a table where a row of the workbook became a row of markup and a cell became a cell.

The first sheet of the workbook goes into the file, the same as with the XLSX to CSV converter. Data from the other sheets is converted separately.

• Column widths, row heights and gridlines are set as styles in the file header, so the table opens looking close to the original.
• Alignment follows the value type: numbers sit on the right, text on the left.
• Cells hold values, because HTML has no formulas.
• The encoding is declared inside the file, so accented and non-Latin text opens without browser settings.
• Print margins are written too, so the result can be printed from the browser as it is.

Who needs a table as markup

• Put a price list or a timetable on a site without rebuilding the table by hand.
• Mail an export to someone with no office suite: the page opens on any device.
• File a report in a wiki or knowledge base that takes markup only.
• Hand a table to a developer as a starting point so nobody retypes the figures.
• Build an email with the table inside it, which beats attaching a file.

How to convert

1. Upload your XLSX workbook to this page.
2. Check that the target format is HTML.
3. Start the conversion and wait for the finished file.
4. Open the result in a browser or pass it to a developer.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the file hold only one sheet?

The first sheet of the workbook is exported. To get another one, move it to the front and convert the workbook again.

Can the result be pasted into my own page?

Yes. Copy the table block where you need it, and either take the styling from the file header or set it with your own site styles.

What if the table only needs printing?

Then the XLSX to PDF converter is a shorter route: the pages are already laid out and nothing shifts on paper.
