How to copy Instagram comments
Instagram has no button that copies all of a post's comments. Paste the post or reel link below instead: the comments load as a list you can select and copy, the first 500 download free as a CSV with "Download these (CSV)", and "Export all" gives every comment and reply as Excel, CSV or JSON.

Step by step
Copy the post link
In the app, tap the three dots or the share arrow on the post or reel and choose Copy link. On a computer, copy the address bar. The account has to be public.
Paste it and get the comments
Paste the link in the box and press Get comments. The comment count shows first, then the comments, 500 at most in the free viewer.
Copy what you need
Select text straight from the list, or press "Download these (CSV)" to save the loaded comments as a file that opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets.
Need all of them?
Press "Export all comments". The price shows before anything is spent: 300 points per 1,000 rows, $3 at the base rate. Turn on replies to get the replies under each comment too.
What you get for each comment
- The username and a link to their profile
- The comment text, with emoji and accents kept
- Likes and the number of replies
- The date it was posted
- For replies, the id of the comment they answer, so threads stay together
Good to know
- Instagram repeats comments from one page to the next (up to 9 of 15 in our November 14, 2026 test). Repeats are dropped, so each comment appears once.
- Comments on private accounts, and comments Instagram has hidden or removed, can't be read by anyone outside the account.
- The CSV is UTF-8 with a byte-order mark, so Excel shows emoji and non-English letters correctly instead of question marks.
Questions
Do I need to log in to Instagram?
No. Nothing asks for your Instagram account or password; only public posts can be read.
Can I copy the comments of someone else's post?
Yes, if the account is public. The comments are the ones anyone can see on the post.
Does it copy the replies?
The free list shows top-level comments. The export includes replies when you leave "Include replies" on.
Is it free?
Seeing the count and the first 500 comments is free, 3 posts a day without an account and 10 with a free one. Exporting more costs 300 points per 1,000 rows, $3 at the base rate.
