HTML Table Extractor
Turn table markup into usable data
HTML tables are easy to display but awkward to analyze. This tool extracts rows and columns into formats your workflow can use.
Multiple formats
Get table data as JSON objects, CSV rows, and Markdown tables from the same input.
Header detection
The extractor uses table headers when present and creates column names when headers are missing.
Local parsing
Pasted HTML is parsed in your browser for fast cleanup of copied source or scrape output.
How it works
Each tool is designed around a direct job: provide the input, get a useful output, and move it into your workflow.
- 1
Paste HTML
Add the page source or the section containing one or more tables.
- 2
Extract rows
The tool reads table headers, rows, and cells.
- 3
Copy a format
Use JSON, CSV, or Markdown in your spreadsheet, app, or docs.
Built for practical workflows
These tools are small on purpose: they solve the conversion job quickly, then point teams toward the API path when the workflow becomes recurring or high volume.
Pricing research
Extract plan tables from competitor pages for comparison.
Financial reports
Convert report tables into rows that analysts can clean and model.
Scrape cleanup
Turn raw scrape output into structured data without writing selectors.
Extract tables from live sites
Use Olostep for live pages that require JavaScript rendering, retries, proxies, or recurring extraction from many URLs.
