Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Excel Spreadsheet to HTML conversion free?

Yes, completely free. Convert XLSX to HTML with no cost, no signup, and no watermarks.

What does the HTML output look like?

LibreOffice exports an HTML file with HTML table elements representing the spreadsheet data. Cell formatting, colors, and borders are preserved as inline CSS styles.

Will formulas be converted to HTML?

Formulas are evaluated before conversion. The HTML output contains the computed cell values, not the formulas themselves, as HTML is a static format.

What happens with multiple sheets?

LibreOffice typically exports all sheets, with each sheet represented in the HTML output. The default sheet may be prioritized depending on the export settings.

Will charts be included in the HTML?

Charts embedded in the spreadsheet may be exported as image files alongside the HTML. Tabular data from the spreadsheet is exported as HTML table elements.

Is my file kept on your servers?

No. Files are automatically deleted immediately after conversion. Nothing is stored or retained.

Is the transfer secure?

Yes. Files are transferred over encrypted HTTPS connections. Your data is protected in transit.

What technology powers this conversion?

The conversion uses LibreOffice Calc headless on our servers, using LibreOffice's built-in HTML export filter.

Can I embed the HTML table in my own webpage?

Yes. You can extract the table element from the output HTML and embed it within your own webpage, applying your own CSS for styling.

What is the maximum file size?

Files up to 50 MB are supported for free conversion.
