Excel Data Trapped in Spreadsheets?
You have data in Excel that needs to go on a website. Maybe it's pricing tables, product specifications, research data, or schedules. Copying and pasting doesn't work-you lose formatting and structure. Manually coding HTML tables takes hours.
Converting XLSX files to HTML solves this instantly. Your spreadsheet becomes a clean HTML table that displays correctly in any browser. In our testing, even complex spreadsheets with merged cells and multiple columns convert accurately in seconds.
How to Convert XLSX to HTML
- Upload your XLSX file - Drag and drop or select your Excel spreadsheet
- Confirm HTML output - HTML is selected as your target format
- Download your HTML - Get clean table code ready for any website
The entire process takes seconds. No Excel installation required, no coding knowledge needed.
Why Convert Excel to HTML?
HTML tables are the standard for displaying structured data on the web. Here's why converting matters:
- Universal compatibility - HTML works in every browser on every device
- Clean code - Unlike Excel's native export, our converter produces clean, readable HTML
- Preserved formatting - Cell structure, merged cells, and data types remain intact
- Easy styling - Apply CSS to customize appearance for your website
- SEO benefits - Search engines can read and index HTML table content
In our testing, the HTML output from our converter is significantly cleaner than Excel's built-in "Save as Web Page" function, which generates bloated code with inline styles.
Common Use Cases
Product Catalogs and Pricing
E-commerce sites need product tables with prices, specifications, and availability. Convert your Excel catalog directly to HTML and embed it on any product page.
Data Reports and Statistics
Research findings, survey results, and analytics reports often start in Excel. Convert to HTML to share them on company websites, blogs, or internal portals.
Schedules and Timetables
Event schedules, class timetables, and shift rosters are easier to maintain in Excel. Convert to HTML when you need to publish them online.
Technical Specifications
Product spec sheets, comparison charts, and feature lists convert cleanly to HTML tables for documentation sites and product pages.
XLSX vs HTML: Format Comparison
Understanding the differences helps you get the best results:
- XLSX - Microsoft's spreadsheet format with formulas, charts, and complex calculations. Requires Excel or compatible software to open.
- HTML - Web markup language displaying structured content. Opens in any browser, no special software needed.
When you convert, the visual table structure transfers to HTML. Formulas become their calculated values-you see the results, not the formulas. Charts and images are handled separately.
What Gets Converted
Our converter handles the essential elements:
- Cell data - Text, numbers, dates transfer accurately
- Table structure - Rows, columns, and merged cells preserved
- Multiple sheets - Each worksheet can be converted
- Basic formatting - Cell alignment and structure maintained
Note: Excel-specific features like formulas, macros, conditional formatting, and embedded charts don't translate to HTML. You get the visible data in table format.
Alternative Formats
HTML isn't always the best choice. Consider these alternatives:
- XLSX to CSV - When you need raw data for databases or other applications
- XLSX to PDF - For sharing spreadsheets that shouldn't be edited
- XLSX to XML - For data interchange between systems
For web display with styling flexibility, HTML remains the most versatile option.
Tips for Best Results
In our testing, these practices produce the cleanest HTML output:
- Simplify before converting - Remove unnecessary columns and rows
- Use clear headers - First row should contain column labels
- Avoid complex merging - Simple cell structures convert most reliably
- Check data types - Ensure numbers and dates are formatted correctly in Excel
