Excel to Markdown Converter

How to convert Excel to Markdown

1. 1

   Upload a spreadsheet or paste a URL

   Drop an XLSX, XLS, ODS or CSV file, or paste a public link to one. The free converter handles 20 free conversions per day, up to 50 pages (5 for scans and images) and 5 MB each.

2. 2

   Sheets become markdown tables

   Rows and columns are converted to markdown tables, so the data stays readable as plain text.

3. 3

   Copy or download the markdown

   Paste the tables into GitHub, a wiki, a doc or an LLM prompt, or download a .md file.

Why use Markdown tables

Markdown tables render on GitHub, GitLab, Notion, most wikis and docs tools, and LLMs read them reliably. Converting a sheet to markdown is the quickest way to share a small dataset in text form or give a model tabular context.

Frequently asked questions

Is the converter free?

Yes. You get 20 free conversions per day, up to 50 pages (5 for scans and images) and 5 MB each, without an account. A free account adds 100 API credits for larger files and automation.

Which spreadsheet formats are supported?

XLSX, XLS and OpenDocument spreadsheets (ODS) become markdown tables. CSV and TSV files are accepted too.

Which file types can I convert?

PDF, Word (DOCX, DOC), Excel (XLSX, XLS), PowerPoint (PPTX, PPT), OpenDocument (ODT, ODS, ODP), RTF, EPUB, HTML, Markdown, TXT, CSV, TSV, XML, JSON and images (PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, TIFF, BMP, HEIC). Every converter page takes every format, so you can drop any of them here.

Is my file kept?

Files are never stored permanently or used for training, and data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Files from failed requests on the shared General Instance are kept encrypted for up to 14 days to diagnose the failure, then deleted automatically.

Can I convert files in bulk or from code?

Yes. The Document Parse API takes the same files (by upload, base64 or URL) and returns markdown, with optional page-by-page output, from TypeScript, Python, cURL, Zapier, Make or n8n.
