Convert HTML to CSV
Updated Jul 2026
HTML to CSV conversion pulls the data out of a table on a web page and saves it as rows and columns you can open in a spreadsheet. A converter reads the HTML, finds the table, and writes each row to CSV. Doing this on your own computer means the page never has to be uploaded anywhere.

How to convert HTML to CSV
- Open Morphjet and drag in the HTML file, or a whole folder of them, that contains the table you want.
- Choose CSV as the output format.
- Convert. Morphjet pulls the table's data out of the page and writes a CSV right next to the original, and nothing leaves your machine.
HTML vs CSV: what actually changes
| HTML | CSV | |
|---|---|---|
| File size | Often larger, includes markup and styling | Much smaller, plain text values only |
| What survives | The whole page: layout, images, links, text | Only the values inside the table |
| Opens in | Any web browser | Any spreadsheet app (Excel, Numbers, Sheets) or text editor |
| Page metadata (title, description) | Yes, stored in the page's head | No, CSV has no place for it |
| Editable as data | Awkward, values are buried in tags | Yes, straightforward to sort, filter, and edit |
When to convert, and when not to
Convert HTML to CSV when you've saved or scraped a page with a table on it, like a pricing list, a schedule, or a set of records, and you want that data in a spreadsheet where you can sort, filter, or chart it.
Keep the HTML if you need the page's layout, images, or links, because converting to CSV keeps only the values sitting inside a table and drops everything else.
Why not just use an online converter?
Pages you convert to CSV are often account statements, exported reports, or data you scraped and would rather not hand to a stranger's server. An online HTML to CSV tool means uploading that page, table and all, before you get anything back. Converting locally keeps the page, and whatever numbers are in it, entirely on your own machine.
Questions
Does converting HTML to CSV lose anything?
Yes, by design. CSV only holds table data, so styling, images, links, and any text outside the table are dropped. The values inside the table itself carry over exactly.
What happens if the page has more than one table?
Check the resulting CSV to make sure it captured the table you meant. When a page has several tables, it's worth a quick look before you trust the numbers.
Can I convert an HTML file without uploading it anywhere?
Yes. Morphjet runs the conversion on your own computer, so the file and its data never travel over the internet.
Does the CSV keep the page's formatting or links?
No. CSV is plain text values in rows and columns, so bold text, colors, and hyperlinks don't carry over, only the words and numbers do.
Will column headers survive the conversion?
If the table has a header row, it usually becomes the first row of the CSV, so each column keeps a name you can sort or filter by.
