How Excel conversion works
Our engine parses the internal structure of your Excel files to produce clean, semantic Markdown — not a naive text dump.
Multi-sheet workbooks are converted with clear section headers per sheet
Column headers are detected automatically and mapped to Markdown table headers
Merged cells are expanded to preserve the visual data layout
Number formatting including currency, percentages, and dates is preserved as text
Empty rows and columns are intelligently trimmed for cleaner output
Large datasets are handled efficiently without truncation or data loss
