Instagram comment exporter
Instagram comment exporter: export and search the comments of a post or Reel
- Price
- Free plan: 100 credits, no card. One analysis uses about 15–46 credits.
- What you get
- Post figures (account, format, publish date, likes, total comments and, for Reels, plays); the most relevant and the newest top-level comments, about 15 of each, merged without duplicates, with likes, reply count and date; every comment that mentions your keyword or a close variant (or the questions people ask, if you leave the keyword empty); themes with counts and the most-liked example; an export table and a CSV block.
- Coverage
- Any public Instagram post, carousel or Reel, as a /p/ or /reel/ link or the post code. Instagram returns about 15 top-level comments per sort order, so a run covers roughly 15 to 30 comments, not every comment on a busy post. Replies are counted but not listed; private accounts and comments the owner has hidden are not available.
- Time to report
- Usually 2–4 minutes.
- Account
- Sign-in with Google required to run it. You can read the example and fill in the form without an account.
Paste an Instagram post or Reel link and, if you like, a keyword. Nolyn reads the post's figures and its top-level comments, sorted by most relevant and by newest, with likes, replies and dates, finds every comment that mentions your keyword, including plurals, misspellings and translations, groups the comments into themes and gives you the list as a table and a CSV block you can paste into a spreadsheet.
Example: Glossier's Toasty Nuts Balm Dotcom post, keyword “Sephora”How do you export and search the comments of an Instagram post?
Read the post's comments with likes, replies and dates, search them for your keyword, then copy them as a table or CSV. In Nolyn's October 22, 2026 run on a Glossier lip balm launch, 15 of the 20 comments read were about the product name “Toasty Nuts”, and they held 95% of the comment likes.

The 20 comments read, grouped by theme; each comment is in one theme. Likes as Instagram returned them on October 22, 2026.
Three in four comments are about the product name
Some of the most-liked comments push back
The one product concern is an allergy
“Sephora” matched no comment
Every figure was recomputed from the post and comment responses saved from this run; the name theme uses a fixed keyword rule (toast, nut or name) over the full texts. Instagram returned the same first comments for every further page the run asked for, so 20 is what one run reads on this post. Quotes are shortened and shown without usernames.

What it cannot do
Instagram returns about 15 top-level comments per sort order, and in our tests further pages returned the same comments again, so one run reads the most relevant and the newest comments, roughly 15 to 30 per post, not every comment on a busy post. Replies are counted but not listed. Comments the owner has hidden or filtered, private accounts, Stories and Instagram Insights are not available. It reads one post per run.
Questions
How do I export comments from an Instagram post?
Instagram has no export button for comments. Paste the post or Reel link into the form above: Nolyn reads the most relevant and the newest comments with likes, replies and dates and ends the report with a table and a CSV block you can paste into Google Sheets or Excel.
Is there a free Instagram comment exporter?
Running it needs a free Nolyn account: sign in with Google and you get 100 free credits. The Glossier run on this page cost 46 credits, 18 of them on extra comment pages that Instagram did not return; the Portuguese sample cost 15. This page, the sample and the brief are free to read.
How many comments can it export?
About 15 most relevant plus 15 newest top-level comments, usually 15 to 30 unique ones: 20 of 312 on the Glossier post and 16 of 373 on an O Boticário Reel on October 22, 2026. That covers the comments most people see first, not every comment on a post with hundreds.
How do I search Instagram comments for a word?
The Instagram app has no search inside a post's comments. Enter the word, brand or product as the keyword and Nolyn lists every comment it read that mentions it, including plurals, misspellings and translations, most-liked first.
Can I export comments from a Reel?
Yes. Paste a /reel/ link or the Reel's code; the report also gives the Reel's plays. Carousels and single photos work the same way.
What can a brand do with a post's comments?
Find the reactions and objections a launch gets in its first days. In the sample, 15 of 20 comments were about the product name and 4 of them pushed back, including two of the three most-liked comments.
What is the difference from the Instagram profile analyzer?
The profile analyzer reads an account's recent posts and compares their engagement. The comment exporter is about what people write under one post: a keyword search, themes and the comments as a table and CSV.
Is there a free Instagram comment exporter?
You can start free: new accounts get 100 one-time credits, no card required. One analysis like this uses about 15–46 credits, so the free credits cover about 2–6 runs. Paid plans add monthly credits.
Do I need to sign up?
To run it, yes: sign in with Google. It is free and asks for no card. You can read the example and fill in the form before signing in.
