Free GuideInstagram Follower Export Tool
The safe, official way to export your Instagram followers list — no password sharing required.
Never give your Instagram password to a third-party "export tool."
Most browser extensions and websites promising instant follower exports are either credential-phishing scams or bots that get accounts banned for automated activity. Instagram's own export feature below does the same job safely.
Request your data from Instagram directly
Open Instagram → Settings → Accounts Center → Your information and permissions → Download your information. Choose your account, select "Some of your information," and pick "Followers and following."
Choose JSON or HTML format
JSON is best if you plan to process the list with a spreadsheet or script. HTML is easier to just open and read in a browser. Instagram emails you a download link once the export is ready — usually within a few minutes to a few hours.
Convert the export to a spreadsheet
Once downloaded, open followers_1.json in a text editor or paste it into a free JSON-to-CSV converter to get a clean spreadsheet of usernames — useful for audits, outreach lists, or just archiving your audience.
Use the list responsibly
This export is for your own records. Mass messaging or scraping profile data beyond what you exported can violate Instagram's Terms of Service and get your account restricted.
