Table Capture

Table Capture is a browser extension that extracts HTML tables from web pages and makes them available for use in spreadsheet applications. It copies tables to the clipboard with proper row and column separators, so pasting into Excel, Google Sheets, or Open Office preserves the structure. You can also export directly to Google Sheets or download as Excel or CSV files. The extension handles both standard <table> elements and <div>-based layouts where repeated items form a table-like structure. It supports batch operations to capture multiple tables at once and exports up to 250 rows per table in the free version.

Features

• Clipboard Copy with Correct Separators: Copies tables to the clipboard using tab and newline characters so that pasting into any spreadsheet retains rows and columns. Useful when you quickly want to paste data into an email or a document without saving a file.
