Eleven core columns lead every file. Instagram exports append about 19 more platform fields after them — verified flag, private-account flag, author id, media id and the rest — for roughly 30 columns in total.

What each column in the export contains

Every Instagram export uses the same column order. A column is left blank when Instagram does not expose that field for the post — missing source data is never filled in with an estimate.

author: Display name on the commenting account, falling back to the username when no display name is set.
username: The @handle of the commenting account.
text: The comment or reply text, unedited, with emoji preserved.
likes: Number of likes on that individual comment.
replies: Number of direct replies to that comment.
created_at: Comment timestamp, normalised to UTC for sorting and date analysis.
language: Detected comment language. Instagram does not expose this field, so it stays blank on Instagram exports.
is_pinned: Whether the post author pinned the comment.
id: Instagram’s own comment identifier, stable across exports and usable for deduplication.
reply_to_id: The parent comment’s id on a reply row; blank on top-level comments.
avatar_url: Profile picture URL for the commenting account.

Instagram exports append roughly 19 further platform fields after these 11 — among them user_is_verified, user_is_private, user_id, media_id, is_liked_by_media_owner and is_ranked_comment — for about 30 columns in total.

What this exports — and what it does not

This is a public-comment exporter. It reads the comment thread on a public Instagram post or Reel and nothing else about the account.

Exported

Public comments on Instagram feed posts, Reels, and IGTV videos
Replies, linked to their parent comment by reply_to_id
Per-comment like and reply counts
Commenter @handle, display name, and account id
UTC timestamps on every comment and reply

Not exported

Instagram Insights, reach, impressions, or any account analytics
Ads Manager data, ad performance, or promoted-post reporting
Follower lists, following lists, or the list of accounts that liked a post
Direct messages, and Story replies — Story replies arrive as private DMs, so no public Story comments exist to export
Comments on private accounts, or on any post that is not visible in a logged-out browser
Audience demographics, age, gender, or location fields Instagram never attaches to a comment

Timings come from ZocialComment's own export logs. Bigger posts take longer because Instagram serves comments a page at a time.

Instagram comment export: CSV, Excel, no login, every comment

How to download Instagram comments

Copy the Instagram post or Reel link, paste it into the ZocialComment Instagram comment downloader above, check the comment count, then download every comment and reply as CSV, Excel or JSON. The first 100 comments of any post are free, with no signup and no Instagram login.

Export Instagram comments to CSV

Paste the post or Reel URL and download a UTF-8 CSV that opens in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers. Each comment is one row with about 30 columns, starting with author, username, text, likes, replies and created_at.

Export Instagram comments to Excel

Choose Excel to get a native .xlsx file with the same columns as the CSV — no import step and no broken characters. The same export can also be downloaded as CSV or JSON.

Export Instagram comments without login

No Instagram account, password, session cookie, API key or browser extension is needed. The exporter reads public posts only and never likes, follows or replies, so nothing shows up in the post owner's notifications.

Export all Instagram comments, including 50,000+

Every publicly visible comment and reply is exported, up to the plan cap: 100 per post free, 10,000 on the $9 3-Day Pass, 100,000 on the $39 3-Day Pro Pass. Hidden, filtered and deleted comments are not served by Instagram to any tool.

Features

What the Instagram comment exporter does

Not just a comment dump — the fields, filters, and formats real workflows need.

CSV, Excel & JSON

Every export downloads as CSV, XLSX, or JSON. CSV and XLSX open directly in Excel, Google Sheets, and Numbers; JSON carries the identical rows for scripts and data pipelines.

Posts, Reels & IGTV

Feed post (/p/), Reel (/reel/), and IGTV (/tv/) URLs are all supported. The public post URL is the only input required — no account connection and no API key.

Filter Before You Export

Comments can be filtered by date range, minimum like count, or keyword before the file is generated, so an export of a 10,000-comment post contains only the rows worth analysing.

Replies & Thread Structure

Replies are exported alongside top-level comments. The reply_to_id column links each reply to its parent comment, so conversation threads stay reconstructable inside a spreadsheet.

No Login. No Password.

No Instagram credentials are required at any point. The exporter reads public posts only — the same data a logged-out browser sees.

AI Sentiment (Paid Tier)

Pro Pass exports add an AI sentiment classification per comment and a one-paragraph summary of the whole thread, replacing a manual read of several thousand rows.

How It Works

Download Instagram comments in 3 steps

An Instagram comment downloader that works from the post URL alone — paste, check the count, save the file.

Paste the URL

Drop any public Instagram post, reel, or IGTV URL into the box above.

We fetch the comments

Live progress over WebSocket — see comments arriving in real time, no waiting in the dark.

Download CSV, Excel, or JSON

One click — the file is on your computer. Open in Excel, Sheets, or pipe into your script.

Export + AI

Export the comments. Let AI read them for you.

Download the CSV, drop it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, and paste one of these prompts. Thousands of comments, answered in seconds.

Research & sentiment

Find out what people actually say in your Instagram comments — top themes, questions, complaints, and how the mood splits.

This CSV is every comment on one Instagram post (columns: author, username, text, likes, replies, created_at, language). Summarise the 5 main themes with an example comment for each, the overall sentiment split (positive / neutral / negative, as %), the most-asked questions, and the 10 most-liked comments.

Check giveaway rules

Let the AI flag who followed the rules — tagged enough friends, commented once, used the keyword — before you draw a winner.

This CSV is every comment on my Instagram giveaway post (columns: username, text, created_at). Rules: tag at least 2 friends (@mentions) and include the word "WIN". List every username that meets all rules, once each. Separately list usernames that broke a rule and which one, and anyone who commented more than once.

Change the rules or questions to fit your post — the AI only needs the file and plain English.

Is This Safe?

What we do — and don't do — with your data

The short version: we never touch your Instagram account, and we don't keep your exports around.

We never ask for your Instagram password

No login, no OAuth to your Instagram account, no browser extension reading your session. We only read public posts — the same data anyone sees without logging in.

Payments handled by Stripe

Card details go straight to Stripe and never touch our servers. One-time payments only — no subscription, no auto-renew, nothing to cancel later.

Money back if the export fails

If a paid export does not deliver the comments, email us and we refund it. You also see the exact comment count before you pay, so there are no surprises.

Your exports get deleted

Free exports are removed after 24 hours, paid exports after 30 days. We do not sell exported comment data or share it with anyone.

Nothing is posted from your account

The tool only reads. It never comments, likes, follows, or messages anyone — there is no account of yours for it to act from.

Public data only

Private accounts and posts you cannot see in a logged-out browser are not exportable, by design. Instagram Stories have no public comments at all.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything people ask before exporting Instagram comments for the first time.

Paste the Instagram post or reel URL into the form above and click Export. We fetch every comment from the public post and let you download as CSV, Excel, or JSON in seconds. No signup, no login, no Instagram password required.

Yes. The first 100 comments of any post are free — no signup. Beyond that, pay just $1 per 100 comments (one-time, $3 minimum per export), or get the $9 3-Day Pass for unlimited posts up to 10,000 comments each, or the $39 3-Day Pro Pass for posts up to 100,000. No subscription.

Eleven core columns lead every file: author, username, text, likes, replies, created_at, language, is_pinned, id, reply_to_id, and avatar_url. Instagram exports append about 19 further platform fields after those — including user_is_verified, user_is_private, user_id and media_id — for roughly 30 columns in total. A column is left blank when Instagram does not expose that field.

Yes. The exporter handles every Instagram post type: feed posts (/p/), Reels (/reel/), and IGTV (/tv/). Just paste any public URL.

No — Instagram Stories don't have public comments. Story replies are sent as private direct messages to the post author, not visible publicly, so no exporter or scraper can access them. Use a regular post or reel URL instead.

Every comment Instagram shows publicly, up to the plan cap: 100 per post free, 10,000 per post on the $9 3-Day Pass, and 100,000 per post on the $39 3-Day Pro Pass. A post with 50,000 comments exports in full on the Pro Pass. Posts over 100,000 comments are quoted as a large volume job.

Yes, with a pass. Paste up to 20 Instagram post or reel links — one per line — and each runs as its own export, downloading as its own CSV, Excel, or JSON file. Without a pass, exports run one URL at a time: paste a single post or reel link and run as many exports as you need.

Completely safe. We never ask for your Instagram username or password, we never log in to your account, and we never touch your account in any way. The tool only reads public comment data from public posts — same as if you opened the post in a browser.

CSV is the best choice if you plan to open the file in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers. JSON is better for developers building scripts or data pipelines. Both formats include every field — pick based on what you do with the data after.

Across 3,383 Instagram exports run between 8 September and 8 October 2026, the free 100-comment file was ready in a median of 5 seconds, and 77% finished in under 10 seconds. A 1,000–5,000 comment post takes a median of 1.8 minutes, a 5,000–10,000 comment post 4.2 minutes. Counting a post's comments before paying takes about one second.

In a timed 14 September 2026 test on the same 4,268-comment public post, ZocialComment delivered its free file in about 15 seconds, CommentGrid in about one minute and ExportGram in about two and a half minutes. ZocialComment's production logs show a median of 5 seconds for a free 100-comment Instagram export across 3,383 exports.

In the same 14 September 2026 test, the free tiers returned 100 rows with 30 columns in about 15 seconds (ZocialComment), 50 rows with 4 columns in about two and a half minutes (ExportGram), and 10 rows with 7 columns in about a minute (CommentGrid). The full method is in the 7-tool comparison on the ZocialComment blog.

No. There's no setup, no API keys, no developer accounts, no rate-limit configuration. Paste a URL, click Export, download the file. That's the entire workflow.
