Instagram Comment Exporter
Export the comments and replies of an Instagram post or reel to Excel, CSV or JSON. The first 500 comments are free.
Free: the count and the first 500 comments. · Several links?
This platform is coming soon. Leave your email and we'll write once when it works.
Paste the link of a public Instagram post or reel and export its comments as rows: the commenter's @name and profile link, the comment, likes, when it was posted and a link that opens that comment on Instagram. With replies on, each reply sits under the comment it answers, with that comment's id in parent_id.
Instagram hands out comments about fifteen at a time, so a post with a few thousand takes several minutes. It runs in the background and we email you the file. Use it to collect giveaway entries, gather the questions under a product post, or keep a record of a campaign's comments.
How to use the Instagram Comment Exporter

Read the comments free
You see the comment count and the first 500 comments. Search them, sort them by likes or date, or keep only the questions.
Export all or get the AI report
Export every comment, replies included if you want them, to Excel, CSV or JSON; or let the AI sort them into questions, complaints, buying signals and requests. Big ones run in the background and we email you when they're done.

Questions
Can I export comments from a private account?
No. Only public posts and reels can be read, and we never ask for an Instagram password.
Does it include replies?
Yes, with "Include replies" ticked. Each reply is its own row, and replies count toward the price like comments.
Why are there fewer rows than the count on the post?
Instagram's number also counts comments it hides (spam, restricted accounts, filtered words) and some it no longer serves. You see the count before you pay and are charged only for the rows in the file.
Is it free?
Reading comments is: the count and the first 500 comments of a video or post, 3 a day without an account and 10 with a free one. Exporting every comment (300 points per 1,000 rows) and the AI report (1,000 points) are paid. A new account gets 100 points to try an export.
Do I need to sign in to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X or Reddit?
No, and we never ask for a password. YouTube comments come through YouTube's official API; the other platforms' comments are the public ones anyone can see on the post. Your account here is only for points and files.
Why does the export have fewer comments than the post shows?
The number under a video or post also counts comments the platform holds for review, hides as spam or filtered words, or removed along with deleted accounts, and those can't be read by anyone. We show the count before you pay, and you're only charged for the rows that end up in your file.
