Export your Instagram followers without giving anyone your password

Updated ·

An Instagram follower export is a spreadsheet of the accounts that follow you and the accounts you follow. Instagram already lets you download this data, but as raw JSON files that are hard to read. This tool turns that file into a clean CSV, sorted newest first, with the date and time of each follow, without a login, an extension or an upload.

How to export your Instagram followers to CSV or Excel

  1. Request your followers and following. In Instagram open your profile and tap the menu, then Accounts Center (some accounts see Meta Account instead) > Your information and permissions > Export your information > Create export. Pick your profile, tap Next, choose Export to device, select only Followers and following, Date range All time and Format JSON, then tap Start export.
  2. Download the file. Instagram prepares the file and lets you know when it is ready, usually within minutes for followers only. Download the .zip from the same Export your information screen within 4 days.
  3. Drop it into the exporter. Choose the .zip (or followers_1.json and following.json). The exporter reads it on your device and lists your followers, following, mutuals and non-followers, newest first, with the date of each follow.
  4. Download the CSV. Download one list or everything as a CSV file. It opens in Excel, Google Sheets and Numbers with the username, profile link, date and time of each follow.

What’s in the spreadsheet

Each row has five columns: list (followers or following), username, profile_url, date and time_utc. The date comes from Instagram’s own export, so it’s the real day they followed you or you followed them. Rows are newest first.

You also get three lists you can’t see anywhere in the app: mutuals, accounts that don’t follow you back, and accounts you don’t follow back. Each one downloads as its own CSV.

Why not a Chrome extension or follower export app?

Most export extensions and apps read your lists through your logged-in Instagram session, or ask for your password. Paging through thousands of followers that way looks like automation to Instagram, and it can get your account rate-limited or locked. Your official data export gives the same list with dates, and nobody else touches your account. More on staying safe: are Instagram viewer apps safe? Want the full walkthrough?

Find unfollowers with two exports

Keep today’s CSV. Next month, export again and compare: anyone in the old followers list who is missing from the new one unfollowed you, blocked you or deactivated. The Instagram unfollowers checker does that comparison for you, and our guide explains how to see who unfollowed you.

Want someone else’s following list?

Instagram only exports your own data. For another public account, the recently followed tracker shows who they followed most recently, newest first, with a girls/guys breakdown and Telegram alerts for new follows. Instagram gives the order of their follows, not the dates. Read how the following list is ordered.

Frequently asked questions

How do I export my Instagram followers to Excel?
Download your followers and following from Instagram (Accounts Center > Your information and permissions > Export your information, JSON format), drop the .zip into this exporter, and click Download. You get a CSV file that opens in Excel with one row per account: username, profile link, and the date and time they followed you.
Is this Instagram follower export tool free?
Yes, completely. There is no account, no limit on list size, and no login. It is free because it only reformats the file Instagram already gives you.
Can I export my followers in order?
Yes. Instagram’s own export includes a timestamp for every follower and every account you follow, so the exporter sorts both lists newest first and puts the date and time in the spreadsheet.
Can I export someone else’s followers?
Not with this tool. Instagram only lets you download your own data. Tools that export other people’s follower lists scrape Instagram with your login, which can get your account restricted. To watch another public account, Klupt shows who it recently followed, newest first.
Is it safe? Do you see my followers?
Nothing is uploaded. The file is opened by your own browser, the lists are built on your device, and the CSV is created on your device. Klupt never receives your export, your usernames or your password.
Do I need a Chrome extension to export Instagram followers?
No. Extensions usually read your list through your logged-in Instagram session, which is slower for big accounts and can trigger rate limits. Instagram’s official export plus this page works on any browser, including phones.
Why is the date column empty for some accounts?
The HTML version of the export doesn’t include follow dates. Request the export again with Format set to JSON to get the date and time for every account.
