What is TSV to HTML Table Converter?

TSV (Tab-Separated Values) is the default clipboard format when copying cells from Excel or Google Sheets. Converting it to an HTML table is one of the most common tasks when building web pages, documentation, or emails from spreadsheet data.

This tool turns tab-separated rows into a properly structured HTML table with optional `<thead>` and `<tbody>`, configurable CSS class names for common table styles (bordered, striped, responsive), and a live rendered preview so you can verify the output before copying or downloading.

All conversion runs in your browser. No data is uploaded to any server.

Custom styling

Remove all class attributes from the output and add your own to match your project's CSS framework. Tailwind users: replace the Bootstrap classes with Tailwind's table utilities like border-collapse, border, and odd:bg-gray-50.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I paste directly from Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes. Copying cells in Excel or Google Sheets puts tab-separated values on the clipboard. Paste directly into the input and the converter reads the tabs correctly.
What do the table class options mean?
The class names (table, table-bordered, table-striped, table-responsive) follow Bootstrap's table utility naming. If you're not using Bootstrap, remove the classes and add your own CSS styles to the output.
Is the preview accurate?
The preview renders the raw HTML table without any external CSS. It shows the structure but not Bootstrap-style striping or borders — those only appear when Bootstrap CSS is loaded on the page where you embed the table.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All conversion runs in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.
