How it works

Three steps. No upload, no signup.

  1. 1

    Drop your file

    Click the dropzone above or drag a XLSX from your desktop. Files of any size, there's no upload, so there's no upload limit.

  2. 2

    Convert in your browser

    The conversion runs entirely in this tab using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file never touches our servers, we don't have any.

  3. 3

    Download

    Get your Markdown table the moment the conversion finishes. Convert another, or close the tab.

Files stay on your device

Your file is never uploaded. The entire conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly. We can't see what you convert because we have no server to see it.

No file size limit

Server converters cap free users at 1-2 GB and gate larger files behind a paid plan. Since nothing uploads, our limit is whatever your browser can handle.

Free, no signup, no ads on conversions

No account required. No watermark on the output. No queue. Drop a file, get a converted file.

Why convert XLSX → Markdown Table

What this conversion is actually for

Excel (XLSX) and Markdown Table are both ways to hold tabular data; this converts one to the other through a shared row-and-column model, so headers and every cell value carry across exactly. Use it to move a table into a README, GitHub issue, Obsidian note, or docs page. Runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded.

A real example

You have a table as Excel (XLSX) and need it as Markdown Table for a README, GitHub issue, Obsidian note, or docs page. Drop it here and get Markdown Table back in one step.

Troubleshooting

A column looks misaligned.

The converter uses the first row as headers. If your source has no header row, the first data row will be treated as headers; add one first.

Formats involved

About XLSX and Markdown table

XLSX, Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet

XLSX is the spreadsheet format Excel has used since 2007, like DOCX, it's a zip containing XML for cells, formulas, formatting, and embedded objects. Replaces the older binary .xls format. Read and written by Excel, Google Sheets, Apple Numbers, and LibreOffice Calc, with high fidelity for standard cell data and reasonable fidelity for complex formulas and pivot tables.

How to open

Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, Apple Numbers, LibreOffice Calc. CSV is a more portable format if you only need the raw cell values.

Markdown table, GitHub-flavored Markdown table

A Markdown table uses pipes (`|`) for column separators and a dash row for the header divider. Renders to HTML on GitHub, GitLab, every Markdown-aware static site generator, and dev tooling like MkDocs. Particularly useful when documentation lives next to code — paste data into a README.md and it renders as a real table.

How to open

Any text editor (Markdown is plain text). VS Code, Obsidian, Typora, and most Markdown editors live-preview tables. GitHub renders them automatically in commits, issues, PR descriptions.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this XLSX → Markdown Table converter really free?

Yes. No signup, no watermark, no daily file count limit. Every conversion runs in your browser, your file never touches our servers because there are no servers.

Where does my file go when I convert it?

Nowhere. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file is never uploaded to our servers. We don't have any servers handling files, there's nothing for us to log, store, or accidentally leak.

What's the maximum file size?

Whatever your browser can hold in memory. Practically, this means a few hundred MB on most computers, significantly larger than the 1-2 GB caps that server-upload converters charge for. Very large files (multi-GB) may require closing other browser tabs first.

Why convert XLSX to Markdown table?

Spreadsheets with formulas, formatting, multiple sheets. Embedding tabular data in Markdown docs and READMEs. The most common reason to convert is compatibility, Markdown table works in places where XLSX doesn't, or vice versa.

How do I open a XLSX file in the first place?

Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, Apple Numbers, LibreOffice Calc. CSV is a more portable format if you only need the raw cell values.

Does this work offline?

Once the page is loaded, the conversion itself runs entirely offline. The first time you use a tool, your browser downloads the conversion library (a one-time cache). If you reload while offline, the page won't load, but you can install the site as a Progressive Web App for full offline use.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Single file at a time for now. Batch conversion is on the roadmap, for now, drop one file, download the result, then convert the next.
