Need to publish a simple table without sharing a spreadsheet? This online TAB-to-HTML converter takes
tab-delimited text files (.tab
, TSV) and renders them as clean, responsive HTML you can open in any
browser, embed in a CMS, or email as a single file—no installs, no signup. Upload your TAB file, choose HTML, and download a
self-contained page with tidy columns and readable styling.
A TAB (TSV) file is plain text where columns are separated by a tab character (\t
) and rows by line breaks.
It’s a lightweight way to exchange tables from databases, ERP/CRM exports, logs, and scientific tools—without the overhead of spreadsheets.

From raw TAB/TSV to a polished, shareable web table, this converter makes publishing your data fast and hassle-free.
