Export Facebook Comments to CSV, Excel & JSON — Free Tool

Copy the post's URL from your browser's address bar (or the post's “⋯ → Copy link” menu), paste it into the box at the top of this page, and click Export Comments. After a free signup you choose CSV, Excel, or JSON and download the file. The whole flow takes under a minute — no script, no Facebook developer account.

Group export is in beta. Posts in public Groups, and in private Groups where your logged-in account is a member, are the target — but we're still validating coverage across Group layouts, so we don't promise it for every Group yet. Public Page posts, videos, and Reels are fully supported today.

Yes. Replies come through as their own rows, each carrying a parent_comment_id that links back to the top-level comment. You can flatten the data for a quick read or rebuild the full reply tree with one join — threading is preserved either way.

No. We only read what Facebook already shows publicly. Comments on a private profile, a friends-only post, or any content behind privacy settings are never accessible, and the export will return an empty result rather than attempt to bypass anything.

Exporting public comments from public posts is broadly defensible. In the US, courts have repeatedly held that accessing public web data isn't a Computer Fraud and Abuse Act violation (hiQ v. LinkedIn, 2022). You're still responsible for how you use personal data under GDPR and CCPA — don't dox, spam, or re-target people without a lawful basis.

Free: 300 per export. Starter ($3 for 3 days): 1,000. Creator: 5,000. Pro: 20,000. Agency: 50,000. Most Facebook posts have well under 5,000 comments, so the Creator plan covers the large majority of giveaways and analyses.

Live comment export is on the near-term roadmap, not live yet. Once a Live broadcast ends and becomes a regular video, its comments fall under standard video export, which is supported. Real-time capture during a broadcast isn't available today.

CSV on the free plan; Excel (.xlsx) and JSON unlock on Creator and above. CSV and Excel open in any spreadsheet; JSON nests replies under their parent comment for code and API workflows.

Yes. Each row includes a reaction_count — the total reactions on that comment (Like, Love, Haha, and the rest combined), exactly as Facebook displays it publicly. That's the field most teams sort by to find a post's most-resonant comments.

Yes. Paste a Reel URL (facebook.com/reel/... or a share link) and the exporter pulls its comments the same way it handles a standard post — replies and reaction counts included.

Manual copying loses the structure: you get text but no reaction counts, no timestamps, no reply threading, and no stable comment IDs. It also caps out fast — nobody hand-copies 800 comments. The exporter captures every field in one file you can sort, filter, and analyze.

You don't need a Facebook developer API key or Meta app review. You'll create a free ExportComments account (the signup gate), then paste a public post URL — that's it.

Yes. Every export can be sent through our AI pipeline, which labels each comment positive, negative, or neutral, extracts trending topics, and flags likely spam. Free includes 3 analyses per month; Creator includes 50; Pro and Agency are unlimited.

Meta Business Suite only exports data for Pages you own and manage, and its comment data is limited and slow to pull. This tool works on any public post — including competitors' Pages and posts you don't admin — and gives you the raw comment text in a clean spreadsheet, which Business Suite doesn't.
