Reddit Comment Scraper & Exporter — CSV, JSON, Markdown, Docs

About

Scrape, export, and download any Reddit comment thread in one click — to CSV, JSON, Markdown, clipboard, or a Google Doc. The fastest Reddit comment scraper and extractor for marketers, researchers, journalists, students, and anyone who needs Reddit data out of Reddit and into a spreadsheet, notebook, or LLM.

— What it does —

• Reddit comment scraper. Open any thread on new Reddit or old.reddit.com, click the extension, pull the entire comment tree.
• Hierarchy preserved. Nested replies stay nested in CSV, JSON, and Markdown — not a flat dump.
• Five export formats. CSV (spreadsheets), JSON (scripts and LLMs), Markdown (notes and Obsidian), Google Docs (formatted, shareable), or copy to clipboard.
• Full comment fields. Comment id, parent id, depth, author, score, ISO timestamp, body, permalink — every field you need for analysis.
• Three copy modes. Plain text, structured, or Markdown — paste straight into a doc, Slack, or an LLM prompt.
• Insights panel. Top words, top phrases, recurring questions, highlight comments — surfaced as you extract.
• Works on long threads. Loads collapsed and "more replies" branches before exporting so nothing gets lost.

— Pro features —

• AI summary. One-click thread summaries.
• Hook generator. Auto-generate marketing hooks and angles from real comments.
• Sentiment analysis. Sentiment distribution and tone signals across the thread.
• Cross-thread patterns. Compare saved threads to find recurring themes and pain points.
• Saved thread history. Keep extracted threads in your account for later review.
• Google Docs export. Formatted, shareable docs in your Drive.
• API access. Pull threads programmatically.

— Why people install it —

• Customer research from r/[your-niche] subreddits without copy/pasting comments by hand.
• Journalist source mining — preserve thread context, authors, and timestamps.
• Academic research — comment data with metadata, ready for Pandas, R, or NVivo.
• AI/LLM input — clean Markdown threads to feed into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.
• Backup your own comments or saved threads before they get deleted.
• A Reddit API alternative for people who don't want to deal with OAuth, rate limits, or Reddit's API pricing.

— Privacy —

The Free tier processes everything in your browser — no server calls, no thread data leaves your machine. Paid features call our API only for threads you explicitly choose, and inputs aren't retained after the response. Full policy: https://redditcommentexporter.com/privacy
