How to Export Your Instagram Followers to Excel or CSV (2026 Guide)

Short answer: Instagram can export your account information through Accounts Center. If you specifically want a ready-to-use CSV or Excel list, Followers Tracker Pro can generate one locally after scanning your own signed-in account.

Instagram will happily show you a follower count, but it gives you no simple spreadsheet export button for the actual list of who those people are. If you want your followers in a spreadsheet — to sort them, analyze them, or keep a backup — there are two practical routes.

Why Instagram doesn't let you export

Instagram's official Export your information tool in Accounts Center is the first-party option. You can choose specific information, a date range, and a format, then wait for Instagram to prepare the export. Meta notes that an export link can take time to arrive and remains available for a limited period. It is a good archival route, though the result may need cleanup before spreadsheet analysis.

What a good export looks like

A useful followers export is a table with one row per follower and columns you can actually filter on:

• Username and Full name
• Profile URL (clickable straight to their page)
• User ID
• Private and Verified flags

With that in Excel or Google Sheets, you can sort by name, filter to verified accounts, dedupe against another list, or cross-reference your following list to find non-followers.

The one-click method

Followers Tracker for Instagram Pro turns your own follower and following lists into CSV or Excel (.xlsx) files. It scans through your lists using your existing Instagram browser session, then generates the files locally. Because it works in your browser, you never type your Instagram password into a third-party downloader website.

Step by step

1. Install Followers Tracker for Instagram and make sure you're logged in to Instagram in the same browser.
2. Run a scan of your account.
3. Open the export controls available with Pro.
4. Choose your followers or following list.
5. Download the CSV or Excel file.

Quick answers

• CSV or Excel? CSV opens anywhere and is great for importing elsewhere; the .xlsx file opens cleanly in Excel, Google Sheets, and Numbers with proper columns. The extension gives you both.
• Can I export someone else's followers? This guide covers exporting the lists associated with your own signed-in account. Do not use follower data in ways that violate privacy, law, or Instagram's terms.
• Is my password safe? You never enter it. The export uses the session you're already logged into, in your own browser.
• Can a scan be incomplete? Yes. Platform loading or temporary limits can interrupt collection. Compare the completed scan total with the account count before relying on the file.
