HyperlinkRescue

Fix broken Excel file links

Only for Mac

Pay once. No ads. No subscription. Re-points broken Excel file links to where the documents live now — exact filename match, never a guess. No Excel needed. When the documents your spreadsheet links to are moved, renamed, archived, or migrated to a new drive, every one of those hyperlinks breaks. Clicking them leads nowhere. HyperlinkRescue fixes that. Point it at your workbook and at the folder where the files now live. It scans the workbook, finds every link whose file is missing, and re-points it to the matching file — reconnecting your spreadsheet to your documents in seconds, across thousands of rows. WHY HYPERLINKRESCUE • It never guesses. A broken link is reconnected only to a file with the exact same name. If two files share that name, the link is flagged "ambiguous" and left untouched — so it can never reconnect a link to the wrong file. A wrong link is worse than a broken one. • No Excel required. HyperlinkRescue edits the workbook directly and never needs Microsoft Excel installed. • It changes nothing else. Working links, web links, your data, formatting, formulas, pivot tables, charts, and macros are all preserved exactly — and a backup is saved before any change. • Two kinds of link, one tool. It repairs both ordinary hyperlinks and =HYPERLINK() formulas that point to a fixed file path. • Pay once. No subscription. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the workbook with broken links (.xlsx or .xlsm) — or drag it onto the window. 2. Choose the folder where the documents now live — or drag it on. 3. Click Fix Broken Links. 4. HyperlinkRescue re-points each broken link and shows a detailed report: fixed, still broken, ambiguous, and already-OK. WHAT IT REPAIRS (AND WHY EXCEL CAN'T) HyperlinkRescue fixes broken FILE HYPERLINKS — the clickable links that open a document (PDF, Word, image, etc.). The key difference from every other approach: it finds where each file MOVED TO by name, so you don't need to know the new path. Excel has no built-in way to bulk-repair broken hyperlinks — your only native options are editing each one by hand (Ctrl+K, one cell at a time) or writing a macro that swaps a path you already know. And the two Excel features people reach for solve different problems: Data ▸ Edit Links re-points formula references to OTHER Excel workbooks (not hyperlinks), and Open and Repair fixes a corrupted file (not moved files). HyperlinkRescue is the one tool that reconnects your document links in bulk, by name, in one click. (For linked-workbook data references, keep using Excel's Edit Links — HyperlinkRescue leaves those alone.) WHO IT'S FOR Accountants and bookkeepers, legal and contract teams, logistics and operations, real estate, records managers — anyone whose tracking spreadsheet has outlived its original folder layout, or who has moved their files to a new drive, cloud-sync folder, or reorganized folder tree. HyperlinkRescue is the companion to LinkSheet: LinkSheet creates the links; HyperlinkRescue keeps them alive. PRIVACY Everything happens on your computer.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

A workbook with no file links in it no longer reports that every link resolves. HyperlinkRescue now tells you plainly that there was nothing to check, instead of giving a clean bill of health for a check that never ran. Repair itself is unchanged — still exact-filename matching, still never guessing.
