Rated 5 out of 5
by LIFE AI, 2 years agoThis tool saved 100's of hours - for $12 it is steal. If i wrote it - I would have charged $50. You need to click parent till you find the root of the table -- normally I would be reading html and hacking code to do this. Also, some tables work much better if you save the html pages/file to disk first and then load it from disk. This can make dynamic issues go away.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Sekantombi, 7 days agoThis extension is indispensible for what I do - constantly using: not only saving time, but allowing me to do things that otherwise wouldn't be possible. Excellent bang for buck!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16808254, 24 days agoThis extension worked perfectly for the hard to get tables that my other extensions wouldn't touch. Auto-scrolling for live generation tables is a dream. I spoke with mike and he was responsive (nearly instantly). Worth the $ in my case!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Mark Portbury, a month agoDoes exactly what it says, which is what I needed. It solved the challenge of extracting data out of my CRM into Excel where they don't have a native export function.
After mucking around trying to copy data manually, using it just once already saved me more time than the purchase price - worth the Pro upgrade! - Rated 3 out of 5by lily, 4 months agorequires payment for CSV. use "Copy table data to clipboard" to get a TSV, which you can convert to CSV

posted 4 months agoIt's true. $12/year for CSV/Excel exports and multi-page capture with auto-paging.
Think about how much your time is worth though... - Rated 5 out of 5by SuperBisco, 5 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Mozified, 5 months agoI've had the Pro Features version of this for several years and it's incredibly helpful, feature-rich, and polished. George Mike is great. He's answered all my questions and helped me with my account quickly. I hope you stay with this project GeorgeMike!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Mark_Orlando, 9 months agoSeems to have no purpose whatsoever. After installation I tried to copy and paste a table into a spreadsheet, doesn't work. The example tables do nothing. If there are instructions on how to use the plug-in, I haven't been able to find them. This extension has only two functions that seem to work, "installing the extension does work" and "deleting the extension does work". It serves no purpose except providing an extension to remove from your system. As far as anything that has to do with tables, I see nothing at all. I assume, if you carefully follow the "undisclosed" instructions.... wait, you can't follow the "undisclosed" instructions because they are "undisclosed". So, don't waste your time by installing this "do-nothing" extension.

posted 8 months agoHey Mark, I'm not really sure why you had trouble, but I'm sorry you did! Some thoughts:
- There' a support tab that links to a bunch of YouTube videos
- Here are said videos: https://www.youtube.com/@georgemike-com/videos
- The extension has 250k+ users across Firefox, Chrome, Edge. I can assure you it works, it's updated regularly, I respond to every bug report that comes my way.
Please email me if you'd like to try again - I'm happy to hop on a zoom call to show you the ropes. - Rated 5 out of 5by narushima, 9 months ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13881833, 10 months agoI just paid for Pro, but am kind of frustrated because I can't find where (in either Options or Manage) to insert the activation code.
Please provide explicit instructions on how to locate the place where that goes. --Thanks.Developer response
posted 10 months agoHey there, I'm *pretty* sure I emailed you to help you resolve this activation issue. If you see this, but haven't received an email, could you email me? - Rated 5 out of 5by lizzienyc, a year agoI bought the Pro to capture tables for a project I was working on and really didn't think I'd use much of it afterward, but to my surprise, this has become my most frequently used tool on my browser, and I use it almost every day.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Antonella, a year agoIt's worth the price. I need to use it rarely but when I do, instead of painfully copy data manually from those hateful scrolling tables, I use the auto-scroll function of this add-on and, so far, it has worked every time wonderfully. Thanks!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17958343, a year agoAt first it requires a look at how it works, you need to set some settings maybe - but I copied the data from a table without the table tag o it worked beautifully.
Requires a little patience - but it's a great tool.Developer response
posted a year agoWhat a measured review! LOVE IT. And I don't disagree - there's a bit of a learning curve to it (but I am working on improving the UX!).
To those reading - if you ever get stuck or have questions, send me an email! - Rated 5 out of 5by isakx, 2 years agoHelped me to copy a website table that doesn't contain HTML table tags to Excel . Saved a lot of time for my day .

- Rated 3 out of 5by paul921, 2 years agoI paid the $12 to upgrade to the Pro Features so that I could save to CSV. I had a few problems and was helped by the email support. I still have some problems with site https://www.trustnet.com/fund/price-performance/t/investment-trusts
In particular:
1) Auto-paging does not work for this site.
2) In the CSV file, the first line of each page after the first duplicates the data for all the funds on the page and most lines end with hundreds of commas.Developer response
posted 2 years agoHello Paul,
I recorded and shared a video showing you how auto-paging works if you provide a custom selector: https://photos.app.goo.gl/eymuiY2fAxbu5TnR8
Sometimes Table Capture can't always re-locate the next-page button and this is the best workaround for that.
Sorry you didn't have a better experience.
Best,
George - Rated 5 out of 5by Demian, 2 years agoAmazing browser extension! It copies and extracts tables from websites (even complicated formats) and puts it into a readable format that can be saved to excel/csv format, without the need to be edited further. PS: And it works also with pdf files.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Pablito, 2 years agoVery effective and convenient, works with pdf files too, worth paying for that. Firefox doesn't show the address bar icon for local pdf files, but you can load them from the extension's options page. Support is very conscientious and prompt, a rare treat.
- Rated 5 out of 5by DBurca, 2 years agoWorks surprisingly well, better than Excel's data extraction. I'm able to copy tables and export them to Excel and anything else without much difficulty. The extension is found in the url bar, which confused me at first, but afterwards everything was simple to navigate and use. Highly recommend!
- Rated 5 out of 5by rjatcu, 2 years agoFrom all Firefox extensions this is the most useful and time-saving one for me!
Currently I don't need the pro-version features but wouldn't hesitate a second to pay the $12, which is less than amount of saved labor costs for processing a single table manually.
