Import spreadsheets into Airtable with hyperlinks intact
Preview your data before a single record is written. Pick your columns, map your fields, and import with confidence. For Excel and Google Sheets files, every hyperlink lands in Airtable as a rich text link, fully clickable, with the display text preserved. No scripts, no manual work, no reformatting.
What Spreadsheet Import gives you
Importing spreadsheets into Airtable shouldn't mean losing your data.
Without Spreadsheet Import
The manual nightmare
- Hyperlinks in Excel and Sheets files land as plain text with no clickable link

With Spreadsheet Import
The automated solution
- Hyperlinks import into Airtable long text fields with rich text intact
- Clickable links stay clickable - display text and link both preserved
- No 5MB file size cap - import large files without splitting
- Works with Excel (.xlsx) and Google Sheets exported as .xlsx

FAQ
Common questions
What file types does Spreadsheet Import support?
Excel (.xlsx, .xls), CSV files, and Google Sheets. For Google Sheets, export as .xlsx to preserve hyperlinks, or as .csv for plain data.
Does it preserve hyperlinks?
Yes, for Excel files (.xlsx, .xls) and Google Sheets exported as .xlsx. Links import into Airtable long text fields with rich text enabled - they stay clickable with the display text intact. CSV files do not store hyperlink data.
Can I choose which parts of my spreadsheet to import?
Yes. You can select specific sheets from a workbook, choose to import all rows or only selected ones, and specify exactly which columns to include.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit. All processing happens in your browser so the only constraint is your device's memory. Very large files (100k+ rows) may be slow to preview depending on your machine.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Your spreadsheet is processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded to a server. Nothing is stored or logged on our end.
What is the difference between the free and paid plan?
The free plan lets you import up to 100 rows per import so you can test with real data before committing. The lifetime plan removes that limit entirely - unlimited rows, all future updates, one payment.
