# How to copy Instagram comments

https://aicommentexporter.com/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

1. **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.
2. **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.
3. **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.
4. **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.
