How to convert MD to XLSX

  1. Add your MD Markdown files

    Drop MD (Markdown) files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. XLSX is already chosen

    Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the XLSX, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The MD to XLSX converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your Markdown files are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

MD to XLSX: what to expect

Markdown shows its raw symbols to anyone who opens it without a Markdown-aware app. XLSX opens straight into Excel with columns and data types intact. MD is at home in READMEs, notes and documentation; XLSX is the usual choice for spreadsheets with formulas, formatting and several sheets.

MD vs XLSX

MD

Markdown

Markdown is plain text with a few symbols for headings, lists, links and emphasis. It is readable as-is and converts cleanly to HTML, which is why developers and note-takers favour it.

XLSX

Excel workbook

XLSX is Excel's format since Office 2007. A workbook can hold many sheets with formulas, formatting and charts. Programs and scripts usually prefer the same data as CSV or JSON.

Questions

Are my Markdown files uploaded anywhere?

No. The MD to XLSX conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Is anything lost when converting MD to XLSX?

The content is carried over as faithfully as XLSX allows; features that XLSX does not have are left out.

Can I convert several MD files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert MD to XLSX on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the MD file, press Convert and save the XLSX. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. Data files up to 300 MB are accepted; a larger file is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
