Instagram changed how follower lists are loaded, which broke parsing in every extension of this type, not just Gramlens. The fix is live in version 1.6.7 — update the extension (chrome://extensions → Update) and reload your Instagram tab. Some things may still misbehave, especially on very large lists, and we're still working on it.

The new API is also stricter about volume: after roughly 10,000 profiles in one run, Instagram may stop returning lists for your account for a while — possibly about a day. The account itself is not at risk, only parsing pauses. Accounts above roughly 15,000 followers, verified ones especially, may not parse at all yet — we are still confirming that, and testing whether breaks between runs help.

Export Instagram followers to CSV, Excel or JSON

Gramlens is a follower export tool that runs in your own browser. Open a profile, collect its followers or following list, pick the columns you need, and download the file — no password, no cloud upload, no copy-paste.

Free plan included. No Instagram password, ever.

What you can export

Four kinds of lists, all saved on your device and ready to download as CSV, Excel or JSON.

Followers

The full follower list of your profile or any public profile — usernames, names, and profile details.

Following

Everyone an account follows, exported the same way — handy for audits and follow-back checks.

Post likes

Who liked a post — turn the engagement on any post into a list you can actually work with.

Post comments

Commenters with their comment text, ready for giveaways, moderation, or outreach.

How to export followers

Three steps, a few minutes for most accounts.

1

Open a profile

Log in to Instagram in Chrome as usual and open the profile whose followers you want to export — yours or any public one.

2

Collect the list

Open the Gramlens side panel and start collecting. Big lists can be paused and resumed later — progress is saved on your device.

3

Pick columns and download

Choose the fields you need — username, full name, verified status and more — then download CSV, Excel or JSON.

Built for real lists, not demos

The parts that matter once an account is bigger than a few hundred followers.

Exports are stored in your browser's local database, so a 100,000-follower list doesn't need to be collected in one sitting: pause anytime, come back, and continue where you left off.

Before downloading you choose exactly which columns go into the file, so the CSV opens clean in Excel or Google Sheets — no reformatting, no broken encodings.

No password, no cloud

The reason a browser extension is the safe way to do this.

Gramlens works inside your own logged-in browser session and reads only what Instagram already shows you. It never asks for your password and can't see private profiles you don't have access to.

Collected lists stay on your computer. Nothing is uploaded to our servers — optional cloud sync exists only as a backup you can switch on yourself.

Free and paid limits

The free plan covers everyday exports; paid plans raise the limits for big accounts and unlock deep scans that add extra profile details to every row. See the pricing page for current limits.
