SQL to HTML Table Converter

This SQL to HTML converter reads INSERT … VALUES statements and renders the rows as a real HTML table: the column list becomes th cells inside a thead and every row becomes td cells inside a tbody. That structure is what screen readers, email clients and sorting scripts depend on. All values are escaped, so a column holding markup is displayed as text rather than being rendered — which matters when the data came from user input. Choose a bare table to paste into an existing page, or a complete HTML document you can save and open directly. Everything runs in your browser.

How it works

Builds an HTML table from the rows in your INSERT statements: the column list becomes th cells inside a thead, and each row becomes td cells inside a tbody.

All values are escaped, so a column holding markup is shown as text instead of being rendered.

The conversion runs entirely in your browser — nothing you paste or upload is sent to a server.

How to convert SQL to an HTML table

  1. Paste your INSERT statements into the input on the left, or upload a .sql dump.
  2. Choose a bare table to paste into a page, or a complete document to save and open.
  3. Copy the markup, or download it as an .html file.

A real table, not a grid of divs

The column list becomes <th> cells inside a <thead>, and each row becomes <td> cells inside a <tbody>. That structure is what everything downstream relies on: screen readers announce the column heading when reading a cell, email clients render it predictably, and sorting scripts can tell headings from data.

Escaping is not optional here

Database columns hold user input, and user input holds markup. Every value is escaped before it reaches the output, so a row containing <script> or a stray </td> is displayed as text rather than changing the structure of the page you paste it into.

Bare table or complete page

A bare table is what you want when pasting into a CMS, a wiki or an existing template. The complete-document option adds a doctype, head and minimal styling so the file opens directly in a browser — handy for sending a one-off report to someone without a database client.

Common use cases

  • Sharing a query result with someone who cannot run the query.
  • Dropping a reference table into internal documentation.
  • Building a table for an HTML email from real data.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert SQL to an HTML table?

Paste your INSERT statements into the left panel or upload a .sql file. The table markup appears on the right, ready to copy or download.

Does it produce a proper table structure?

Yes. The column list becomes th cells inside thead and each row becomes td cells inside tbody, which is what accessibility tools and sorting scripts expect.

Is the data escaped?

Yes. Every value is escaped before it reaches the markup, so a column containing HTML is displayed as text instead of being rendered as part of the page.

Can I get a complete page?

Yes. Tick the complete document option for a full HTML file with a doctype, head and minimal styling that you can save and open in a browser.

What if the dump has several tables?

Step through them with the table number box; the note under the output says how many were found.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser.
