Setup guide

Get your Instagram data

True Followers works with your official Instagram export. Requesting it takes about a minute of taps — here's exactly where to click.

JSON is recommended. True Followers reads both JSON and HTML exports — but only JSON includes the follow dates, so you can sort by date. Pick JSON if you can.

    HTML works too, but JSON includes follow dates. Date range can be All time.

    Start the export and wait for the email

    Instagram prepares your export and emails a download link — usually within minutes.

    Download the ZIP and upload it here

    No need to unzip it — drop the ZIP straight onto True Followers.

Instagram occasionally takes longer to prepare the file. If it's not ready yet, keep the email and come back once the download link arrives.
