Instagram Followers Exporter

Export your Instagram followers list to Excel, CSV, or JSON. Uses your existing Instagram session — no API key required.

How It Works

This tool uses Instagram's web API to fetch your followers list. Since the API requires authentication, it uses your existing Instagram session cookies from this browser. The Lection extension acts as a bridge, making the request with your cookies locally — your credentials never leave your device.

You can export followers from any account you have permission to view. For private accounts, you must be an approved follower to access their followers list.

How to Use This Tool

Install the Lection Chrome extension to enable authenticated requests.

3. Enter a Username

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this safe to use?

Yes. The extension makes requests locally from your browser using your existing session. Your password and session cookies are never sent to any external server.

Will Instagram ban my account?

This tool uses Instagram's official web API with natural request patterns. However, excessive use could trigger rate limits. We recommend loading followers in reasonable batches.

Can I export followers from private accounts?

Only if you're an approved follower of that account. Instagram's API only returns data you have permission to view.

Why do I need to be logged in?

Instagram's followers API requires authentication. Without being logged in, the API returns an error. This tool uses your existing session to make authenticated requests.
