How to convert XLS to HTML
An HTML table can be pasted into a website, a CMS or an email.

There are no rows to copy by hand and no data leaves your computer.
Step 1: Choose your XLS file
Drag and drop a .xls file onto the converter or click to browse. It works on desktop, tablet and phone.
Step 2: Automatic conversion
Rows and columns are read and written as HTML in a fraction of a second.
Step 3: Download the HTML
Save each result individually, or download everything as a single ZIP when you convert several files.

About the formats
What is XLS?
XLS is the binary workbook format used by Microsoft Excel up to version 2003. It stores sheets, formulas, formatting, charts and macros in a single file. Each sheet is limited to 65,536 rows and 256 columns, a limit that the XML-based XLSX, the default since Excel 2007, raised considerably.
Use XLS only when an old version of Excel or a legacy system requires it. For new work, XLSX handles far larger sheets and is less prone to corruption, and CSV is the simpler choice when you only need to move raw data.
XLS (Excel 97-2003 workbook)What is HTML?
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the markup language used to structure web pages, defining headings, paragraphs, links, images and more. Every website you visit is built on HTML. It is plain text that a browser interprets and renders into the page you see.
Use HTML whenever you publish content on the web, pages, articles, emails or anything meant to be read in a browser. It is also the destination format when converting a text document into a web page.
