Frequently Asked Questions

How does Table Extractor handle merged cells (colspan/rowspan)?

Table Extractor builds a virtual grid that fills each merged cell's rectangular region with the cell's text. This means colspan and rowspan are fully resolved into a flat, rectangular table - just like pandas.read_html() does.

Can I extract tables from any website?

It works on any regular web page with HTML tables. Browser-internal pages like chrome:// URLs are restricted by Chrome's security policies, and the extension will show a helpful error message instead of crashing.

What format does Table Extractor export to?

Table Extractor exports to CSV, which opens directly in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet application. CSV is the universal format for tabular data and works with virtually every data tool.

Is there a limit on table size?

Tables are capped at 10,000 rows and 500 columns to keep the browser responsive. If a table exceeds these limits, it's truncated with a warning in the preview.

Does Table Extractor upload my data anywhere?

No. All extraction and export happens entirely in your browser. No data is ever sent to external servers. Downloads are generated locally as Blob URLs.
