About the Excel to Markdown Converter
Convert XLSX to Markdown online for free, with no account and no watermark. XLSX needs a spreadsheet app and is awkward to load into databases or code, so switching to Markdown is the quickest way to get clean GitHub-flavoured Markdown for README files, documentation, notes apps, blogs and GitHub.
Spreadsheets are read and written with SheetJS, the open-source spreadsheet engine used by thousands of data apps, so every sheet, row and value is handled accurately. Because everything happens on your own device, your spreadsheets are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone else, which makes it safe for customer lists, salary sheets, GST data and API exports.
What to expect: every sheet in the workbook is converted; formulas are exported as their calculated values, while text such as PIN codes and phone numbers with leading zeros stays intact; the first row is used as column names, which you can switch off.
How to use the Excel to Markdown Converter
- Click "Choose files" or drag your XLSX spreadsheets onto the box. You can add several at once.
- Choose whether the first row holds column names and whether to convert all sheets or only the first.
- Press "Convert to Markdown". The conversion runs on your device and shows its progress.
- Download each Markdown file, or use "Download all (ZIP)" when you converted several.
- Open the result in GitHub or VS Code to check it; your original XLSX is never changed.
Tips & benchmarks
- Headings, lists, links, bold, italic and tables are written as clean GitHub-flavoured Markdown.
- Merged cells are unmerged and their value is kept in the first cell, which keeps the data easy to filter and import.
- Keep the file name simple (letters, numbers and hyphens) if you plan to upload the Markdown to a website or government portal.
