Copytables

Select table cells, rows and columns with your mouse or from a context menu. Copy as rich text, HTML, tab-delimited and CSV.

Copytables is a powerful Chrome extension designed to enhance your interaction with tables on the web.

With simple hotkeys like Alt+click for selecting cells and Alt+Ctrl+click for columns, copying table data has never been easier.

This extension supports copying your selections in various formats tailored to your needs, including rich text for Word, HTML for websites, and tab-delimited or comma-separated values (CSV) for spreadsheet applications like Excel. Additionally, Copytables provides useful pop-up summaries such as sum and average of your selected cells, all customizable to fit your workflow. Whether you work with data tables frequently or just want a more flexible copying tool, Copytables streamlines the process with configurable options and user-friendly features.

I miss ColumnCopy.
by Brett Marshall, 2025-04-01

Great plugin. Very useful! One thing I am missing is the ability to specify the text delimiter for the plain text copy option. I know I can use CSV to have a comma separated list, but this option adds extra quotes around text which I don't need.
