How to Export Threads Followers to CSV for Free

Published March 8, 2026 · by PostCopilot Team

If you are growing an audience on Meta Threads, you have probably wondered how to get a list of your followers into a spreadsheet. Whether you want to analyze your audience, build a CRM, or track growth over time, exporting your Threads followers to a CSV file is the first step. The problem is that Threads does not offer a built-in export feature. In this guide, we will show you exactly how to export your Threads followers using the free PostCopilot Threads Exporter browser extension.

Why Export Your Threads Followers?

Before diving into the how-to, let us talk about why exporting your follower list is valuable. Many creators treat their follower list as a vanity metric, but it is actually a powerful dataset when used correctly.

Audience Analysis

When you export your followers to a CSV, you can analyze who is actually following you. You can sort by follower count to find your most influential followers, scan bios for common interests or professions, and identify patterns in your audience demographics. This information helps you create content that resonates with the people who already care about what you post.

Competitor Research

The Threads Exporter does not just work on your own profile. You can export the follower list of any public Threads account. This means you can analyze your competitors' audiences, find potential followers who are interested in your niche, and discover creators who might be open to collaborations. Export a competitor's followers, cross-reference with your own list, and identify gaps in your reach.

CRM and Outreach

If you are a brand, agency, or influencer manager, having follower data in a spreadsheet is essential. You can import the CSV into your CRM, tag potential partners, and build outreach lists. This is especially useful for identifying micro-influencers in your niche who have engaged audiences but are not yet on your radar.

Tracking Growth Over Time

By exporting your followers on a regular schedule, say weekly or monthly, you can track exactly who followed and unfollowed you. This gives you much deeper insight than just watching a number go up or down. You can correlate follower changes with specific posts or campaigns to understand what actually drives growth.

How to Export Threads Followers: Step-by-Step

The entire process takes less than two minutes. Here is how to do it:

  1. Install the extension: Go to the Threads Exporter extension page and install it in your Chrome or Edge browser. The extension is completely free and takes a few seconds to set up.
  2. Navigate to a Threads profile: Open threads.net and go to the profile whose followers you want to export. This can be your own profile or any public account.
  3. Open the followers list: Click on the follower count to open the followers modal. This is the list the extension will read from.
  4. Click the export button: The Threads Exporter adds an export button directly in the Threads interface. Click it, and the extension will automatically scroll through the entire follower list and collect all the data.
  5. Download your CSV: Once the export is complete, a CSV file will download to your computer. Open it in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet application to start analyzing your data.

The exported CSV includes each follower's username, display name, bio text, and their own follower count. This gives you a rich dataset to work with without any manual copying or data entry.
