How to export Reddit comments without the Reddit API
Paste the Reddit thread URL into ZocialComment and download every comment, including the full nested reply tree, as CSV, Excel or JSON. No Reddit account, API key or developer app is needed; www, old.reddit.com and mobile /s/ share links all work, and the first 100 comments of any thread are free with no signup.
- Copy the thread link from reddit.com, old.reddit.com or the app's share button.
- Paste it into the box above and click Export Comments.
- Download the thread as CSV, Excel or JSON; parent_id and depth columns keep every reply attached to the comment it answers.
- With a pass, paste up to 20 links, one per line, and get one file per thread.
The whole export, start to finish
Three screenshots of the actual tool exporting a real Reddit post — not a mockup, not a redesign of what we wish it looked like.

1. Paste the thread URL
One Reddit thread link — www, old.reddit.com or a mobile /s/ share link. No Reddit login.

2. See the real count first
We count the thread and show you live comments before you pay a cent — so you know exactly what you are getting.

3. Download CSV, Excel or JSON
The finished file, in the format you want. Paid exports stay downloadable for 30 days.
Real rows from a real export

Clean mode ships 11 columns — these plus timestamp, comment ID and parent ID, so the full reply tree rebuilds exactly. Raw mode adds score breakdown, awards, permalink, OP, stickied and distinguished flags.
Every comment includes 15+ fields
Clean mode: 17 columns optimized for humans. Raw mode: 15 fields including full thread reconstruction metadata.

Export time by size — 183 Reddit exports, 8 Sep – 8 Oct 2026
Time from starting the export to the file being ready. Counting runs first.
| Comments exported | Exports | Median time | 90% finish within |
|---|---|---|---|
| First 100 comments (free) | 113 | 7 seconds | 25 seconds |
| Up to 1,000 comments | 70 | 1.4 minutes | 2.5 minutes |
Timings come from ZocialComment's own export logs. Bigger posts take longer because Reddit serves comments a page at a time.
Built for people who actually use the data

Works on www, old.reddit.com, new.reddit.com, and mobile share links (/s/). One exporter, every Reddit URL.
No Reddit Login

What we do — and don't do — with your data
The short version: we never touch your Reddit account, and we don't keep your exports around.
We never ask for your Reddit password
No login, no OAuth to your 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.
Free to start. Pay only when you need volume.
First 100 comments of any post are free — no signup, no card. Then $1 per 100 comments ($3 minimum per export), or grab an unlimited pass when you need volume.
