Reddit Comment Exporter
Export the comments of a Reddit post, nested replies included, 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 a Reddit post link, from any subreddit and in any form (www, old.reddit.com, redd.it or the share link from the app), and export the whole thread: every top-level comment and, if you want them, the replies Reddit folds away under "more replies", each with its parent's id so the tree can be rebuilt.
Each row has the u/ name, the comment in Reddit's own markdown, the score, when it was posted and last edited, and a permalink. Researchers use it to code a thread's answers, founders to collect pain points from r/SaaS or r/smallbusiness, and moderators to keep a record of a discussion.
How to use the Reddit Comment Exporter
Paste a link
Copy the address of a public video or post on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X or Reddit and paste it in the box. No account, no password and no browser extension.
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
Why are there fewer rows than the comment count?
Reddit's count includes comments that were removed by moderators or deleted by their authors; their text is gone for everyone, so they can't be exported. A thread usually exports to about two thirds to nine tenths of the count. You pay only for the rows in the file.
Does it read the replies hidden behind "more replies"?
Yes, when you export with replies on. Each folded branch is opened and its replies are written right after their thread.
Are deleted comments in the file?
Comments deleted by their author but still answered show as [deleted] with no text, as they do on Reddit; removed ones that nobody can read aren't 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.
