FAQ
Can I Export Both Followers and Following Lists in One Session?
Yes, Instagram Followers Exporter Pro supports exporting both your Followers list and your Following list within a single browser session. You do not need to reinstall anything, log out, or navigate away from Instagram. The extension lets you toggle between the two lists and run sequential exports, each producing its own separate CSV file.

How Dual-Mode Export Works
Instagram Followers Exporter Pro reads whichever follower modal is open in your browser. The modal that appears when you click the Followers count on a profile is different from the one that appears when you click Following. The extension detects which modal is active and scans accordingly. This means the process for exporting each list is nearly identical — you simply open the relevant modal, start the scan, and export when complete.
- Followers export — Click the Followers count on any accessible profile to open the Followers modal, then start the extension scan
- Following export — Click the Following count on the same (or any other) profile to open the Following modal, then start a new scan
- No interference — Completing one export does not affect the other. Each scan is independent.
- Separate CSV files — Each export produces its own .csv file download, so the two lists do not get merged or confused
Step-by-Step: Exporting Both Lists in One Session
Here is the recommended workflow for exporting both lists during the same browser session, with no need to navigate away from Instagram.
- Step 1: Navigate to the profile you want to export on Instagram.com
- Step 2: Click the Followers count to open the Followers modal
- Step 3: Open the Instagram Followers Exporter Pro extension panel and click Start Scan
- Step 4: Wait for the scan to complete (progress bar shows real-time status), then click Export CSV — your Followers CSV downloads
- Step 5: Close the Followers modal, then click the Following count to open the Following modal
- Step 6: Open the extension panel again and click Start Scan for the Following list
- Step 7: Wait for the scan, then click Export CSV — your Following CSV downloads as a separate file
Why the Exported Data Is Kept in Separate Files
The Followers and Following lists represent two distinct datasets with different analytical use cases. Keeping them as separate CSV files makes it easier to work with them independently in spreadsheet tools. You can open both files in separate tabs in Google Sheets or Excel, then use VLOOKUP or MATCH functions to identify mutual follows, fans (followers who you do not follow back), and accounts you follow who do not follow you back. Merging both datasets into a single file would require a Type column to distinguish the two and would complicate analysis.
Free Tier Behavior for Dual Exports
The free tier of Instagram Followers Exporter Pro allows up to 250 followers per export and 3 exports per week. Each export — whether Followers or Following — counts against that weekly quota. If you want to export both lists in full for a larger account without hitting the free tier cap, upgrading to Pro removes all per-export and weekly limits. Pro pricing: $6.99/month, $29.99/year, or $49.99 lifetime.
- Free tier: 250 records per export, 3 exports per week — exporting both Followers and Following uses 2 of your 3 weekly exports
- Pro tier: Unlimited records per export, unlimited exports per week — export both lists in full with no restrictions
