This is a real table. With the extension installed, click its icon and this table gets a frame too.

How it works

  1. 1

    Click the icon

    Or right-click the page and choose Show tables on this page.

  2. 2

    Pick a table

    Detected tables get a frame with its size, like 65 × 9, and three buttons: Copy, CSV, XLSX.

  3. 3

    Paste or download

    Copy puts the table on your clipboard for Excel or Google Sheets. CSV and XLSX save a file.

Table to Excel 1.1

Fix the table before it reaches Excel

Choose Prepare to preview your export. Keep the columns you need, check the types and undo changes before saving.

  1. Choose

    Keep the useful cells

    Select a range, exclude rows and rename or reorder columns. Export link addresses alongside the visible text.

  2. Check

    Give each column a type

    Keep codes as text. Set numbers, percentages and dates using the source format. Fix flagged conversion errors before exporting.

  3. Repeat

    Save the preparation

    Save a local recipe for matching columns. Save a snapshot when you want to compare added, missing or changed rows by a unique key.

Table to Excel preparation view with sample product data: SKU 00124 stays Text, and columns can be selected before export.
Prepare sample product data before downloading: keep SKU codes as Text and select the columns you need.

Need rows beyond the first screen?

Collect loaded rows by scrolling or choosing the page's Next button. Collection needs stable row indices or a unique key. Pause or stop and keep the rows collected so far; check the result against the source's count.

Clean data, not a copy of the page

  • Merged cells are expanded, so every row has the same columns
  • Footnote marks like [1] and hidden sort keys are removed
  • Empty columns and spacer rows are dropped
  • Recognized numbers become numeric XLSX cells; codes with leading zeros stay text
  • Export all saves every table on a page to one Excel file, one sheet per table

Copy, CSV or XLSX?

Choose for the next step in your work.

  1. Copy

    Paste into a sheet

    For a quick transfer to an open workbook. Check how the spreadsheet interprets codes and dates.

  2. XLSX

    Keep cell types in a file

    For Excel workbooks. Leading-zero codes and long IDs stay text. Recognized numeric values become number cells.

  3. CSV

    Import into another tool

    For a system that expects a text file. Set column types when importing; CSV does not store them.

On real pages

Your tables stay on your computer

Table to Excel reads a page only when you click its icon or the menu item. Tables are processed in your browser and never uploaded. There is no account and nothing to sign up for.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. Copy and CSV export are free for supported tables. XLSX export and Export all are free for now. If they become paid, the extension will say so before you use them.

Does it upload my tables anywhere?

No. The extension works inside your browser and doesn't send page content or tables anywhere.

Which sites does it work on?

HTML tables, structured web grids and CSS tables are supported. You can select a repeated row manually for other layouts. Collection can gather loaded rows while scrolling or following a Next button you select, but it does not guarantee every record has loaded. PDF files, images, canvas tables, closed Shadow DOM and inaccessible cross-origin frames are not supported. Chrome also restricts extensions on its own pages and the Chrome Web Store.

Does it work with Google Sheets?

Yes. Press Copy, then paste into Google Sheets. Rows and columns stay in place.

Why does it ask for these permissions?

activeTab and scripting let it read the tab you clicked it on, and only that tab. contextMenus adds the right-click menu item. storage keeps settings, a copy count and any recipes or snapshots you explicitly save on your computer. It can't see your other tabs or your browsing history.

Can I copy a table without an extension?

Yes. For a simple table, copy and paste works, and Google Sheets and Excel for Windows can import tables from public pages. Our guide compares five ways and shows where each one breaks.
