# Export your analytics to CSV

Download the results behind Analytics as a CSV file, with one row per post per account. What's in the file, how your filters shape it, and what can't be exported.

Last checked: Oct 8, 2026 on the live app. Source: https://heropost.ai/docs/analytics/export/

## How it works

The download icon in **Analytics** exports the posts behind your current filters to a CSV file, which opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets. The file has one row per post **per account**: a post published to three accounts is three rows.

The export follows your filters, not the view: **Table view**, **Pivot view** and **Timeline view** all give the same file.

## Download the CSV

1. Click **Analytics** in the left menu. Use a computer: the phone layout has no export.
2. Set the **Period**, and if you need to, the **Workspaces**, **Social Networks** and accounts.
3. Press the download icon (**Download raw data as CSV**) next to the account selector. It spins while the file is prepared.
4. The file, `insights.csv`, opens in a new tab and downloads. If nothing happens, allow pop-ups for app.heropost.io and press the icon again.

## What's in the file

| Column | What it holds |
|---|---|
| **Workspace ID**, **Workspace** | The workspace the post belongs to. |
| **Post ID**, **Post** | The post's number in Heropost, and its title (or the start of its caption). |
| **Post Date (UTC)** | When it was published, in UTC. |
| **Post Date (Local)** | When it was published, in the workspace's time zone. |
| **Platform** | The network. |
| **Account ID**, **Account** | The account it was published to. |
| **Unique Views** | Reach. Empty for Facebook Page posts, because Facebook doesn't report it. |
| **Total Views** | Views. |
| **Impressions** | Filled for LinkedIn Pages only. |
| **Reactions**, **Comments**, **Shares** | As in Analytics. |

An account or workspace that has since been deleted shows as "(deleted)".

The file covers the same networks as Analytics: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn Pages, YouTube and Threads. See [Which networks are included](/docs/analytics/analytics/#which-networks-are-included).

## What the file follows

- **Period:** posts published in the period, with their results to date.
- **Workspaces, networks and accounts:** as selected.
- **Your own plan's history:** a period that goes further back than your plan allows can't be exported. See [How far back you can look](/docs/analytics/analytics/#how-far-back-you-can-look).
- **Ownership:** only workspaces you own. In someone else's workspace, the file has no posts.

## What can't be exported

- A PDF, or a report sent by email or on a schedule.
- Your posts or captions (the text you scheduled). The analytics CSV is the only export.
- The pivot table as you arranged it. Rebuild it in your spreadsheet from the CSV.
- Follower growth.

## If it doesn't work

| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The icon spins, then nothing opens | The browser blocked the new tab. | Allow pop-ups for app.heropost.io and press the icon again. |
| The file has only column names | No posts with results for your filters, or the workspace belongs to someone else. | Choose a longer period or other networks. Ask the workspace owner for a copy. |
| "Looks like you've reached the limit of your plan. Please upgrade your account to access for features." | The period goes further back than your plan allows. | Pick a shorter period. |
| **Time to Level up!** | Your plan is the original Lifetime plan, which covers the last 7 days. | Export "Last 7 days", or press **Upgrade**. |
| "An unexpected error occurred while processing your request." | The file couldn't be prepared. | Try again. If it repeats, [contact support](/docs/troubleshooting/get-help/). |

## Questions

**Why does one post appear on several rows?**

The file has one row per account. A post published to a Facebook Page and two Instagram accounts is three rows, each with that account's results.


**Which time zone are the dates in?**

Both: **Post Date (UTC)** in UTC, and **Post Date (Local)** in the workspace's time zone.


**Can I export my scheduled posts or captions?**

No. Heropost doesn't export posts or captions. The analytics CSV is the only export.


**Does the CSV include my follower counts?**

No. Follower growth is only shown on the Analytics page.
