XLSX to HTML

Every sheet as an HTML table, ready to paste into a page or a CMS.

How to convert XLSX to HTML

  1. Drop the file.
  2. Nothing to choose.
  3. Press Convert and download.

What happens to your file

LibreOffice opens the file headless on Fylane’s servers and writes the target with its own export filter — the same conversion Save As does on a desktop, without the desktop. Deleted on schedule.

Each sheet becomes a table with its values (not formulas) and the basic formatting HTML can hold — bold, colours, alignment.

Questions

What happens to formulas?

You get their values. A web page has no spreadsheet engine behind it, so a cell showing a total arrives as the total rather than as the sum that produced it.

What is this useful for?

Putting a table on a page or in an email without a screenshot — the values stay selectable, searchable and readable by a screen reader, which an image of a spreadsheet never is.

Does the formatting survive?

The parts HTML can hold: bold, colours, alignment, and the grid itself. Conditional formatting, frozen panes and anything interactive do not, because a web page has no equivalent.

Do multiple sheets come through?

Yes, each as its own table in the output.

Should I use this or a PDF?

HTML when the table needs to live inside a page or an email and stay selectable. PDF when it needs to print or to look the same everywhere — Excel to PDF does that.

Do it once, not on every form

Fixing a file here means downloading it and going back to the form. The Fylane extension does this work inside the form instead, on the file you already have.

And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.

Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.

Filmed from the extension: three upload fields on a job application, filled from one tap.

Add to Chrome — freeWhat it does

Do this in code

curl -X POST https://api.fylane.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FYLANE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_id": "<file id>",
    "operation": "convert",
    "options": {
      "to": "html"
    }
  }'

The same operation, convert — Documents into another document format: Office, text and HTML to PDF by default, or by `to` into docx, odt, rtf, txt, html, xlsx, ods, csv, pptx, odp, md or epub (Markdown and EPUB through pandoc). Images to WebP. Upload first with the quickstart; every option is on the operations page. 500 free credits a month, then $5 per thousand.
