Download a complete list of every account you follow on X — with usernames, bios, follower counts, activity dates, and 20+ metadata fields — as a CSV file you can open in any spreadsheet app.

Before You Start

  • Google Chrome browser (desktop)
  • An X (Twitter) account (logged in)
  • Followers Exporter Pro for X installed from the Chrome Web Store
1

Install Followers Exporter Pro for X

Visit the Chrome Web Store listing and click "Add to Chrome." The extension works with your existing logged-in X session. No API keys, OAuth tokens, or developer accounts are needed.
2

Go to your X profile and open the exporter

Navigate to x.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.

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, Location, Followers Count, Following Count, Tweet Count, Verified Status, Account Created Date, and more. Use this preview to verify the data looks correct before downloading.
5

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.
6

Open and work with the data in your spreadsheet

Open the CSV in your preferred spreadsheet application. All 20+ data fields are organized in clear columns. 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. Re-follow by searching usernames from the CSV.

Summary

You have exported your complete Twitter/X following list to a structured CSV file with 20+ 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 X 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.
