Free Instagram Follower Export: CSV/XLSX With Clear Limits

Export accessible Instagram Followers or Following for free, then verify permissions, row limits, task state, and the resulting CSV or XLSX.

SKU32 can currently be described as a free-to-install, bounded Followers/Following spreadsheet exporter. It cannot be described as unlimited, complete, or permanently free. On August 31, 2026, its Chrome Web Store page showed version 1.0.5, an August 25 update, 23 users, a 3.0/5 score from two ratings, and an Add to Desktop control. The Store title and copy say [100% Free]. That is a dated observation plus a developer price statement—not a future-price promise or proof of successful installation on your device.

The local runtime offers one audience per task, a 100, 200, 500, or 1,000 confirmed-row ceiling, and CSV or native XLSX. The 14 columns, terminal states, partial-result rule, and local History behavior are code-backed. This article did not run a free export with a real Instagram account, so the smallest valid test remains 100 rows.

“Free” is six different questions

This page separates price, installability, capacity, files, recovery, and runtime-test evidence. A free preview, free install, free 100 rows, and a free complete-file download are not interchangeable claims.

The input is one profile the current Chrome/Instagram session can access. Every task chooses one direction:

  • Followers: accounts that follow the target profile;
  • Following: accounts the target profile follows.

The output is CSV or XLSX only. There is no JSON, email/phone enrichment, CRM sync, scheduled monitoring, automated follow/unfollow, commenting, or messaging. Free access does not bypass private, login-gated, challenged, rate-limited, or unavailable targets.

Three live results use “free” differently

An anonymous text search for free Instagram follower export tool on August 31, 2026 produced three useful full-text baselines:

Fresh resultWhat “free” means on that pageWhat it cannot prove about SKU32
Top 1: SoLeadsFree preview of public profiles, up to 600 profiles; SoLeads sign-in before CSV/XLSX downloadSKU32 price, login model, fields, session behavior, or local flow
Top 2: IG TrackerFree preview/export of up to 100 recent Followers/Following as CSV; separate “unlimited” extension pitchIts unlimited claim does not override SKU32's 1,000-row ceiling
Same-type: SocialCrawlCompares native export, extensions, SaaS, Graph API, and API tools by cost, fields, risk, and ceilingIts table is author/vendor evidence, not an SKU32 runtime test

This page therefore does more than repeat “100% free”: it separates current Store observations, SKU32 implementation facts, and untested claims.

The matrix answers what the live result pages omit when applied to this product: which claims are SKU32 runtime facts, which are publisher statements, and how a free run must end before its file is useful.

Run one verifiable free task

  1. Recheck the Store that day. Confirm the item remains iinimheeglddmdcpkgkpebmecfdiilhg, then review the current version, update date, install control, and permissions.
  2. Choose one accessible target. Use only one profile you have a legitimate reason to process. Never paste a password, cookie value, verification code, or challenge token.
  3. Choose one direction. Followers and Following are opposite relationships. Run them separately and retain audience if you need both.
  4. Fix the first ceiling at 100. Choose CSV or XLSX. The 100/200/500/1,000 values are confirmed-row ceilings, not complete-list guarantees.
  5. Watch confirmed rows and state. Active states are validating, running, paused, and stopping. Evaluate only after a terminal completed, partial, or failed result.
  6. Download with the terminal evidence. A completed result is exportable. A partial result is exportable only with confirmed rows greater than zero and must retain its stop reason. A failed run is not an empty success file.

Transient network failures and HTTP 5xx responses get at most three attempts. Login, challenge, rate limit, private/unavailable, and lost context are stop conditions—not free capacity unlocked by repeated retries.

Verify CSV or XLSX in two minutes

Confirm the fixed 14 columns

id, pk, username, profileUrl, fullName, profilePicUrl,
isVerified, followedByViewer, requestedByViewer, audience,
sourceProfile, sourceProfileUrl, collectedAt, rowIndex

Keep id and pk as text. Blank isVerified, followedByViewer, or requestedByViewer means the source did not return the value; it is not automatically No. collectedAt is local normalization time, not an exact follow time. rowIndex is local post-deduplication order, not Instagram rank.

Confirm scope and terminal state

  • Every row's audience should match this Followers or Following run.
  • sourceProfile and sourceProfileUrl should match the target.
  • File rows, confirmed rows, and the selected ceiling must be explainable together.
  • Fewer than the ceiling is not automatically failure; check terminal state and stop reason.
  • Exactly 1,000 rows proves the ceiling was reached, not that the target list is complete.

Keep partial and History boundaries visible

A partial file may support a bounded review, but keep its partial label, confirmed-row count, and stop reason. History keeps at most 20 recent terminal tasks for local re-download. It is not cloud backup, unlimited version history, scheduled monitoring, or precise relationship history. Comparing change requires two dated snapshots; one collectedAt value does not reveal follow time.

Free does not change these limits

  • Only 100, 200, 500, or 1,000 rows per task; no unlimited or guaranteed-complete mode.
  • Only a target the current Instagram session can access; no private, login, challenge, 429, or unavailable bypass.
  • CSV and native XLSX with 14 columns; no JSON or automatic enrichment.
  • Confirmed rows mean locally committed rows, not the target's full audience.
  • Terminal states retain their meanings; partial must not be renamed complete.
  • History keeps 20 recent terminal tasks; no archive, exact follow/unfollow time, schedule, or background monitor.
  • Free copy, users, rating, update date, and install control are dated August 31 observations, not permanent availability or pricing.
  • No CRM sync, email/phone enrichment, automated follow, unfollow, comment, message, or other action automation.

Frequently asked questions

Does “100% Free” mean permanently free?

No. It was the Store publisher's current title and description on August 31, 2026. This review did not test a purchase flow and makes no promise about future versions or plans.

Can a free run exceed 1,000 rows?

No. The current per-task choices are 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 confirmed rows. Repeated bounded tasks must not be described as unlimited or guaranteed complete.

Does it include JSON?

No. The current writer creates CSV and native XLSX with the same 14 columns.

Can I use a partial file?

It can support a bounded review when confirmed rows are greater than zero. Keep the partial state, confirmed count, requested ceiling, and stop reason.

Does History monitor followers automatically?

No. History keeps up to 20 recent terminal tasks for local recovery. There is no scheduled run, background monitoring, or exact follow/unfollow time.

Is no login required at all?

No Web Tidy login is required, but the runtime uses the current Instagram browser session. It does not bypass login, challenges, or private access.

Take the one qualified next step

After rechecking the current Store state and accepting the limits, open Instagram Follower Exporter and test one 100-row Followers or Following task. The link itself does not claim install, execution, or export success.
