TableGrab — table to clean CSV / Excel

About

Copy any table on the web to a spreadsheet - without the data getting wrecked.

Every other "table to CSV" tool quietly corrupts real data. ZIP codes lose their leading zeros (02101 becomes 2101). Long IDs and barcodes turn into 8.01E+09. Merged header cells slide out of alignment. "3-2" becomes a date. Accented names garble. You only notice after you've pasted it into Excel.

TableGrab gets it right. One click turns any web table into a clean CSV (or Excel-ready file) that opens correctly the first time.

- Keeps leading zeros, ZIP/postal codes, customer IDs, barcodes and phone numbers exactly as they are - no more scientific notation, no more stripped zeros.
- Expands merged cells (colspan / rowspan) into a correctly aligned grid.
- Stops Excel turning codes like "3-2" or "MAR-55" into dates.
- Proper UTF-8 so accented letters and currency symbols survive instead of turning into garbled text.
- Correct RFC-4180 quoting - commas, quotes and line breaks inside a cell never break the columns.
- Export as comma CSV, semicolon CSV (for European Excel), TSV, or copy straight to the clipboard to paste into a spreadsheet.

HOW TO USE
1. Open any page with a table.
2. Click the TableGrab icon (or right-click the page, or press Ctrl+Shift+Y / Cmd+Shift+Y).
3. Pick a table from the list and hit Download CSV or Copy. Use "Pick a table" to click any grid on the page directly.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your data never leaves your browser. TableGrab does all the work locally - nothing is uploaded, no account, no tracking. It only runs on a page when you click it.

Great for analysts, researchers, accountants, data engineers, students and anyone who copies data out of dashboards, wikis, financial sites, sports stats, government tables and admin panels.
