Airtable strips your
hyperlinks on import.
We don't.

Every time you import an Excel or Google Sheets file into Airtable, every hyperlink silently disappears. Spreadsheet Import is the only tool that preserves them, while also adding live preview, field mapping, and no 5 MB upload limit.

The problem it solves

What Airtable's importer
can't do and what we can

Airtable's native import
  • ✕
    Hyperlinks are silently dropped. Only the display text survives; the URL is gone
  • ✕
    File size capped at 5 MB. Larger files have to be split before importing

What's included

Everything Airtable's
importer does, plus hyperlinks

Airtable's native import is actually pretty good. Preview, field mapping, sheet selection: it's all there. The one thing it silently breaks is hyperlinks. That's what Spreadsheet Import fixes.

Only here

Hyperlinks preserved

The one thing Airtable can't do. Every URL embedded in your Excel or Google Sheets cells comes through intact: display text and destination both survive.

Live preview

See your data exactly as it will appear in Airtable before anything is committed. Same as Airtable's importer, just with links showing correctly.

Field mapping

Choose which columns to import and map each one to the right Airtable field. Works the same way as the native importer.

Excel, Sheets, and CSV

.xlsx, .xls, .csv, or a Google Sheets export. Multi-tab workbooks let you pick which sheet to import, same as Airtable, but links stay alive.

No 5 MB cap

Airtable limits imports to 5 MB. Spreadsheet Import removes that ceiling: large files, thousands of rows, no splitting needed.

Private by design

Your file is processed in your browser and sent straight to Airtable. Nothing passes through or gets stored on our servers.

Real teams

What people say after
their first import

We'd been manually re-adding supplier links after every import for months. I didn't even know a tool like this existed. It works exactly as advertised; links come through perfectly.

Joanna Carter
Supply chain team

The biggest benefit? Speed. I can finally import large files without splitting them or losing half my data. It halved the time we spend on any new client onboarding.

Daniel Ruiz
Operations manager

I tried every workaround I could find: formulas, third-party tools, copy-paste tricks. This is the only thing that actually preserves embedded links cleanly. Should have found it sooner.

Common questions

Anything unclear?

Excel (.xlsx, .xls), CSV (.csv), and Google Sheets files exported as .xlsx. Multi-sheet workbooks are supported; you can pick which sheet to import.
When you map a column containing hyperlinks to a long-text field with rich text enabled in Airtable, the tool preserves both the display text and the embedded URL. Airtable's native importer only keeps the display text and silently drops the URL.
Yes. In the preview step you choose exactly which columns to include and map each one to the appropriate Airtable field. Columns you don't include are simply skipped; nothing is imported automatically.
No. There is no file size restriction. The free plan limits you to 100 rows to import. The lifetime plan removes that limit entirely: import as many rows as your file contains.
Your spreadsheet is processed directly in your browser and sent straight to your Airtable account. We do not store your file or your data on our servers at any point.
The free plan includes all features but limits each import to 100 rows, enough to test the tool thoroughly with real data. The lifetime plan removes that limit. There are no other differences. No monthly fees, no subscription: you pay $29 once and own access forever.
