Instagram Comment Exporter - Get All Comments From a Post or Reel
Export every comment and reply on a post or reel to Excel or CSV.
Free, no sign-up: 20 lookups an hour. Need more, or in your own code? Use the API.
What this tool does
Pulls the full comment thread of any public post or reel - text, author, timestamp, like count and replies - and hands it back as a table you can export. Most tools stop at the first 20-25 comments because Instagram's comment pane only loads when you scroll the pane itself; this one keeps going. Ready for sentiment analysis, giveaway draws or feedback mining.
How to use it
- Enter the post or reel url — post/reel url or bare shortcode.
- Press Run it and wait a few seconds while the data is fetched live.
- Sort through the table, then export it to Excel, CSV or JSON.
Frequently asked questions
How do I see all comments on an Instagram post?
Paste the post or reel URL above and raise the count. The tool scrolls the comment thread for you and returns every comment it can reach, replies included, as one table.
How do I get all the comments on an Instagram reel?
The same way as a post - paste the reel's URL. Reels and posts share one comment system, so a reel link works here exactly like a photo or carousel link, replies included.
Can I read the comments on a competitor's post?
Yes, on any public account. Nothing is asked of your Instagram login and the account you look up is never notified.
Why do other tools only show 20 or 50 comments?
Instagram's comment box is a virtualised scroller - it only loads more when that specific element is scrolled. Scrapers that scroll the page instead see it stop growing and assume the thread ended, which typically cuts off around 20-25 comments.
Can I export Instagram comments to Excel?
Yes. Run the lookup and hit Export Excel for an .xlsx file, or CSV/JSON if you prefer. Nothing is installed and there's no sign-up.
Can I use this to pick a giveaway winner?
Yes - export the comments and pick a row at random. De-duplicate by username first if your rules allow one entry per person.
Is the instagram comment exporter - get all comments from a post or reel free?
Yes - 20 lookups an hour with no account and no sign-up. For higher volume or to call it from your own code, use the API.
Do I need to log in to Instagram?
No. Nothing is asked of your Instagram account, and nothing you do here is visible to the account you look up.
Can I export the results?
Yes. Every result table exports to Excel (.xlsx), CSV for Google Sheets, or JSON for code.
Does it work on private accounts?
No. Only public profiles and posts can be read - private accounts return an error.
Need this in your own app?
Every tool here is one call to the Instagram Scraper API — the same data as JSON, with no hourly limit, higher counts and a response you can pipe straight into your code. This job has its own guide with copy-paste Python.
