# Instagram Comment Exporter

https://aicommentexporter.com/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.

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.

**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.
