How does PlugMonkey handle privacy and data?

PlugMonkey extensions process data locally in your browser by default; data is not transmitted to PlugMonkey servers unless explicitly required for a specific feature (and disclosed). Each extension's data handling is documented in the Chrome Web Store privacy disclosure and at https://plugmonkey.xyz/privacy-policy/. PlugMonkey does not sell user data to third parties.

What is the difference between Followers and Following export?

Followers export downloads the list of people who follow you. Following export downloads the list of people you follow. Both exports include the same data fields per account. You can run both exports from the same panel by switching the selection.

Can I export someone else's following list?

Yes. Enter any public account's username in the exporter panel to export their following list. This is useful for competitor analysis — see who your competitors follow to discover industry accounts, potential partners, and content sources.

Is there a limit on the number of accounts I can export?

Free users can export up to 250 records per download and 3 exports per week. PRO users have no limits — export following lists of any size, including accounts following thousands of users. The extension handles rate limiting automatically.

How do I use the export to clean up my following list?

Open the CSV in a spreadsheet and sort by Post Count (ascending) to find accounts that rarely post. Look for accounts with 0 posts — these are likely inactive. Check the follower-to-following ratio to identify potential spam accounts. Use this analysis to decide who to unfollow, then use Unfollow Pro for Instagram to remove them efficiently.

Before You Start

Google Chrome browser (desktop)
An Instagram account (logged in via web browser)
Followers Exporter Pro for Instagram installed from the Chrome Web Store

Install Followers Exporter Pro for Instagram

Visit the Chrome Web Store listing and click "Add to Chrome." The extension works with your existing logged-in Instagram session. No API keys, OAuth tokens, or developer accounts are needed.

Go to your Instagram profile and open the exporter

Navigate to instagram.com and go to your profile page. Click the floating PlugMonkey button on the right side of the screen to open the exporter panel. Your username is automatically filled in since you are on your own profile.

Followers Exporter Pro for Instagram's table view of exportable follower data

Select "Following" and start the export

In the exporter panel, you will see two options: Followers and Following. Select Following to export the list of accounts you follow. Click "Start" to begin the export. The extension fetches every account in your following list with full metadata. A real-time progress bar shows the number of records collected and estimated time remaining.

Pro Tip

The Following export typically runs faster than a Followers export because most users follow fewer accounts than follow them. Even following lists of 5,000+ accounts complete in just a few minutes.

Preview the data in the built-in table view

Once the export finishes, the data appears in a paginated table within the panel. Each row is an account you follow, showing: Username, Display Name, Bio, Follower Count, Following Count, Post Count, Verified Status, and Profile URL. Use this preview to verify the data looks correct before downloading.

Download the CSV file

Click "Download CSV" to save the file to your downloads folder. The file is named with your username, list type, and date (e.g., "yourname_following_2026-02-15.csv"). The CSV format is universally compatible — it opens directly in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, LibreOffice Calc, or any data analysis tool.

Open and work with the data in your spreadsheet

Open the CSV in your preferred spreadsheet application. Common uses for your following list export: audit accounts you follow for relevance, identify inactive accounts to unfollow, sort by follower count to find the most influential accounts you follow, filter by verified status, and create a backup of your curated following list.

Pro Tip

Use this export as a baseline backup of your following list. If you ever accidentally mass-unfollow or lose access to your account, you have a record of everyone you followed. Pair this with Unfollow Pro for Instagram to clean up accounts that no longer align with your interests.

Summary

You have exported your complete Instagram following list to a structured CSV file with metadata fields per account. This data is useful for following list audits, backup purposes, audience research, and integration with other tools. The export works entirely in your browser with no API keys or external services — Followers Exporter Pro for Instagram handles all rate limiting automatically. Run this export periodically (monthly or quarterly) to maintain an up-to-date record of your following list and track changes over time.
