Excel to Markdown
Paste a range copied from Excel or Google Sheets, or upload an .xlsx/.xls/.csv file, and get a clean Markdown table — with an option to treat the first row as a header.
Runs entirely in your browser — files never leave your device.
How it works
- 01Select a range in Excel or Google Sheets and copy it (Ctrl+C / Cmd+C), then paste into the left pane — or upload an .xlsx, .xls, or .csv file.
- 02Toggle "First row is header" depending on whether your data has column headers.
- 03The Markdown table updates automatically, including a bold-friendly alignment row.
- 04Copy the table or download it as a .md file.
Frequently asked questions
Is this Excel to Markdown converter free?
Yes, with no account or limits. Workbook parsing uses the open-source SheetJS (xlsx) library, and text conversion uses PapaParse — both run entirely in your browser.
Does my spreadsheet get uploaded to a server?
No. Uploaded .xlsx/.xls/.csv files are read directly from memory in your browser via the File API; nothing is ever sent over the network (unless you use "Open from URL" to fetch a remote file, which is a direct browser request, not a server relay).
Which sheet gets converted if my workbook has multiple sheets?
The first sheet in the workbook. If you need a different sheet, reorder the sheets in Excel/Sheets before exporting, or copy that sheet's range and paste it directly instead of uploading the file.
What happens to number and date formatting?
Cells are converted to their displayed text (not raw serial numbers), so formatted numbers, currencies, and dates come through as you'd expect to see them in the spreadsheet.
Can I paste data copied from Google Sheets instead of Excel?
Yes — both Excel and Google Sheets copy selected ranges as tab-separated text, which this tool detects and parses the same way.
What if my table has an uneven number of columns per row?
Shorter rows are padded with empty cells so the resulting Markdown table is always well-formed, with every row having the same column count.
