Why Export Your Instagram Followers List?
Your Instagram followers list is valuable data. Exporting it lets you:
- Back up your audience in case your account gets hacked or banned
- Import into a CRM for relationship management
- Run outreach campaigns targeting your most engaged followers
- Analyze audience demographics offline with spreadsheet tools
- Find fake followers by cross-referencing engagement data
- Track competitor audiences for marketing research
How to Export with ifollowtracker
ifollowtracker makes exporting Instagram follower lists simple:
- Go to ifollowtracker.com
- Enter the Instagram username (your own or any public account)
- Click "Analyze" to load the follower data
- Switch to the Followers or Following tab
- Click "Export CSV" to download the full list
The exported CSV includes: username, display name, follower count, following count, and verification status.
What's Included in the Export
- Username and display name
- Profile URL
- Follower and following counts
- Verified status
- Bio excerpt (where available)
What to Do with the Exported Data
1. Audience Analysis
Open the CSV in Google Sheets or Excel. Sort by follower count to identify your most influential followers — these are potential brand ambassadors or collaboration partners.
2. Fake Follower Detection
Filter for accounts with very high following counts but very low follower counts. These are often bot accounts or follow-unfollow spammers.
3. Competitor Research
Export a competitor's follower list and cross-reference with your own. Accounts that follow your competitor but not you are your highest-priority outreach targets.
Pro Tips for Using Follower Export Data
- Export regularly: Monthly exports let you track follower growth and churn over time
- Combine with engagement data: High follower count doesn't equal high value — look for engaged accounts
- Respect privacy: Use exported data for legitimate marketing purposes only
- GDPR compliance: If you're in the EU, ensure your use of this data complies with data protection regulations
