How to Export an HTML Table to Excel

There are two routes, and which one you want depends on whether you need the numbers to arrive as numbers.

Route 1 — a CSV that Excel opens cleanly (free)

  1. Click the Table Export icon and pick the table from the list.
  2. Choose CSV, keep Add BOM for Excel ticked, and press Save.
  3. Open the file in Excel.

The BOM marks the file as UTF-8, which is what Excel needs to show accented and non-Latin characters correctly. Without it, those arrive as garbage. Everything in a CSV lands as text, so Excel applies its own guesses to anything that looks like a number or a date.

Route 2 — a real .xlsx file (Pro)

  1. Pick the table the same way.
  2. Choose Excel (.xlsx) and press Save.

In this format, plain numbers and ISO dates (2026-09-11) become genuine number and date cells, so sorting and formulas work straight away. Values that carry formatting — 1,234, $5 — are kept as text exactly as shown, rather than being silently reinterpreted. Pro also exports every table on the page at once, one sheet per table in a single file, and adds Markdown output.

Table Export Pro is $19, paid once. No subscription and no account. Checkout, receipts and refunds are handled by Polar, the merchant of record.

Limits that apply either way

Hidden rows are skipped and reported, layout tables are filtered out, virtually-scrolled grids only hand over the rows currently in the page, and the browser blocks all extensions on chrome:// pages, the Chrome Web Store and the PDF viewer.
