How do I convert an XLSX file to MD using this tool?

To convert XLSX to MD: 1) Upload your .xlsx file by dragging it into the upload area. 2) Select the target sheet if your workbook has multiple tabs. 3) Choose whether to export a single table or merge all sheets. 4) Click 'Convert' and download the generated .md file. The Markdown output uses GitHub-flavored table syntax for easy embedding in documentation.

Why should I convert XLSX to Markdown instead of keeping it as Excel?

Markdown is plain text, so it is human-readable, easily diffable in version control systems like Git, and renders natively on platforms like GitHub, GitLab, and most static site generators. XLSX is a compressed XML archive that requires Excel or a similar application to view. Converting to MD reduces file size and makes your data accessible to any text editor, and it enables collaborative editing with tracked changes.

What happens to Excel formatting, formulas, and images during the conversion?

The converter extracts cell values and basic table structure. Formulas are evaluated and replaced with their current computed values, since Markdown has no formula engine. Cell styling such as colors, fonts, and borders is discarded—only the text content remains. Merged cells are expanded so that each cell in the merged range contains the same value. Embedded images, charts, and pivot tables are not part of the Markdown spec, so they are omitted from the output.
