Excel to Markdown table

Open an XLSX, pick the sheet, fix it in the grid, copy it as Markdown.

Stays on your device – Your workbook is unpacked and read in your browser and not uploaded - nothing reaches our server.

or

You can also paste with Ctrl+V.

Size:

Still editable before you copy: change cells, add rows and columns, align columns.

What you type is processed in your browser and never sent to us.

How to do it

  1. Pick a file

    Or drop it in. It is read in your browser, not uploaded.

  2. Pick a sheet

    A chooser appears when the workbook has more than one.

  3. Fix it up and copy

    Change cells, align columns, copy the Markdown.

What this is for

Getting a table out of Excel and into a document, a ticket or a README otherwise means copy, paste, add pipes, count columns. Here the workbook is opened, the sheet is picked, and the result can be edited before it is copied.

The real work is not the table, it is the values. The file holds 46053 for 31 January 2026 and 0.153 for 15.3% - what you saw in Excel sits in the number format somewhere else entirely. This tool reads it: dates and times, percentages, decimal places and a currency symbol come out the way they were in the workbook.

The file is read in your browser, by the page itself - no upload, and no library that would have to download a megabyte before the first click.

Common questions

No. The workbook is unpacked and read in your browser; nothing reaches our server. With spreadsheets that is the whole point - they tend to hold revenue, names or addresses.

Because the pre-2007 format is a different thing entirely: a binary file that would need a second reader. Open it once in Excel or LibreOffice and save it as .xlsx.

Yes - the number format of the cell is read for exactly that. A date shows as a date, a percentage with its sign, and decimals are rounded the way the cell says. Without it you would see the number Excel stores internally: 46053 for 31 January 2026.

No. The value last stored in the file is used - what was visible in Excel. Only files written by a program other than Excel may lack that value; the cell then stays empty.

Markdown has no cell colours and no merged cells, so the values are what comes over. For a merged cell the value sits where Excel keeps it: top left.

Up to 500 rows and 40 columns per sheet. A practical limit rather than a technical one; if the sheet is bigger, the tool says so.
