How to export Instagram comments to Excel or CSV
Instagram has no "download comments" button. To get every comment from a post or reel into Excel, you need an Instagram comment scraper. Here's how to do it in a few clicks with LeadBuzzPro, free.
Export Instagram comments in 5 steps
- Install LeadBuzzPro for Chrome (Edge and Brave work too).
- Open the post or reel on instagram.com, on its own page or in the pop-up.
- Click the LeadBuzzPro icon and choose Commenters on this post.
- Press Start. LeadBuzzPro scrolls the comments, clicks "View replies" and "Load more comments", and records each commenter and what they wrote.
- Open Results → Export and choose Excel (.xlsx), CSV or Google Sheets.
Export your first comment section free
Works on posts and reels. Replies included.
What you get in the spreadsheet
One row per comment, with the commenter's name, username, profile link, the comment text, whether it's a reply, the post link and the time of export. Excel files open with a header row and filters ready to use.
Find the comments that matter
A big post can have thousands of comments. LeadBuzzPro's comment insights help you find the useful ones:
- Buying intent: comments asking about price, hiring, links or "where can I get this" are flagged.
- Top questions: the most-asked questions in the comment section, which are great ideas for content and FAQs.
- Trigger words: if you run a "comment LINK to get it" post, see everyone who commented the word.
- Overlap: people who commented on several competitors' posts are usually the warmest leads.
Common uses
- Giveaways: export every entry, remove duplicates, and pick a winner fairly.
- Lead generation: turn commenters on a competitor's or creator's post into a lead list (see Instagram follower scraper for follower lists).
- Research: read what your audience asks, complains about and praises, all in one sheet.
Is there a free way with no limit?
Copying comments by hand is free but slow and misses replies. LeadBuzzPro's Free plan collects every comment you can see on any post without a cap, and exports 25 rows a month. If you need more, Pro exports are unlimited, and there's a 7-day free trial. We'd rather say that plainly than promise "free, no limit" and add a catch later.
FAQ
Can you export Instagram comments to Excel?
Not with Instagram itself. A comment scraper such as LeadBuzzPro collects the comments from the page and saves them as an .xlsx or CSV file you can open in Excel.
Does it include replies to comments?
Yes. LeadBuzzPro clicks "View replies" while it scrolls, so replies are collected too and marked as replies.
Can I export comments from someone else’s post?
Yes, from any public post or reel your account can see. It works the same on your own posts.
Can I export Instagram comments for free with no limit?
Collecting comments is free without a cap. The Free plan exports 25 rows a month; Pro exports are unlimited.
