Export Instagram direct message conversations as TXT, HTML, PDF, or JSON.

Exporting Instagram messages in the official way takes a long time. With Instagram DM Exporter, you can export any Instagram direct message in one click! The entirety of the conversation: all single messages sent and received. It can also transcribe all audio messages to text. You can export as .TXT, .HTML or even .JSON. How to use: - Go to the DM page. For example: https://www.instagram.com/direct/t/123 - You will see a download icon on the top right - Click on it and you're done. Please watch the video tutorial on this page if needed. PRIVACY Your conversations are not stored whatsoever. No external servers. It's 100% local and private. This extension is an independent, third-party tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way officially connected with Instagram, Meta Platforms, Inc., or any of their subsidiaries. "Instagram" and all related names, logos, and brands are trademarks of their respective owners. This extension is provided for personal data export purposes only.
