Frequently Asked Questions

Can I paste directly from Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes. When you copy a range of cells from Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, your operating system clipboard stores them as tab-separated values (TSV). Simply paste into this tool to convert them into a Markdown table.

How does the tool handle commas and quotes inside cells?

Because columns are tab-delimited, commas do not split cells. If cells contain quotes or tabs, the parser follows standard quoted cell rules and unescapes double quotes ("") cleanly.

Is any spreadsheet data sent over the internet?

No. All conversion operations run 100% locally in your web browser memory using client-side JavaScript. Zero data is transmitted to external servers.
