Example
EXCEL to HTML: input and output
Four rows copied from a regional sales sheet, including an empty cell, a short row and markup-like characters.
Region Q1 Q2 Notes
EMEA 1,240 1,395 Q2 includes "Nordics" & Baltics
APAC 980 1,110 <10% growth
LATAM 410
NA 2,050<table class="data-table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Region</th>
<th>Q1</th>
<th>Q2</th>
<th>Notes</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>EMEA</td>
<td>1,240</td>
<td>1,395</td>
<td>Q2 includes "Nordics" & Baltics</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>APAC</td>
<td>980</td>
<td>1,110</td>
<td><10% growth</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>LATAM</td>
<td>410</td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>NA</td>
<td>2,050</td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>The quotes, the ampersand and the < in the Notes column were escaped so they render as text; LATAM's empty Q2 and Notes cells became empty <td> elements, and the short NA row was padded out to four columns.

Spreadsheet to web page, minus the tedium
Publishing tabular data means hand-writing <tr><td> rows or fighting a CMS table widget — both painful past ten rows. Copy-paste-convert produces the whole table in seconds: semantic structure (thead/tbody), every cell HTML-escaped so data can't inject markup, and a class hook (.data-table) for one-rule CSS styling.

Why escaping makes this safe for real data
Spreadsheets contain surprises: product names with angle brackets, notes columns with ampersands, the occasional cell someone pasted HTML into. Naive table generators inject all of it straight into markup — a stored-XSS bug waiting for a page. This converter HTML-escapes every cell, so <script> in a spreadsheet renders as the literal text <script> on the page. That's the difference between a snippet you can paste into a CMS and one you have to audit first.
For recurring publishes — a weekly price list, a roster, a changelog — keep the spreadsheet as the source of truth and re-convert on each update; thirty seconds of paste-convert-paste replaces a table-widget wrestling match.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about the EXCEL to HTML.
01How do I use the EXCEL to HTML?
Select your cells in Excel or Google Sheets, copy, paste into the input, press Convert. The clipboard's tab-separated data becomes a proper HTML table — first row as headers — with a rendered preview.
02How does pasting from Excel actually work?
When you copy spreadsheet cells, the clipboard carries them as tab-separated text — each row a line, each cell separated by a tab. This tool parses exactly that format, which is why paste-and-convert works from Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice, and Numbers alike.
03How are merged cells, blank cells and rows with extra columns handled?
The clipboard carries a merged region as its top-left value followed by empty cells, so you get one filled <td> and empty <td></td> siblings — no colspan is inferred. Every row is normalized to the header's width: cells beyond it are dropped, short rows are padded with empty cells, and entirely blank lines are skipped. Each value is trimmed and escaped, but not typed — numbers stay left-aligned text, and a 1,240 with a thousands separator is kept exactly as Excel displayed it.
