Ahrefs Table Exporter

A Chrome extension that exports any table on Ahrefs to CSV or copies it directly to your clipboard for instant paste into Google Sheets or Excel — no manual copying required.

---

Features

• One-click export — detects the main table on screen automatically
• Click to select — hover over any table to highlight it, click to choose it
• Download CSV — saves a .csv file with a timestamped filename
• Copy for Google Sheets / Excel — copies tab-separated data to clipboard, paste with Ctrl+V
• Live preview — the detected table is highlighted the moment you open the popup
• Clean numbers — 10,322 → 10322 and 172K → 172000 so Sheets treats them as real numbers, not text
• Toggle column headers — include or exclude the header row right from the confirm dialog
• Works on Site Explorer, Keywords Explorer, and any other Ahrefs page with a table
