  • Compare conversations. Review how people respond to different videos covering a similar subject.

Limits

Public content

The workflow is intended for comments accessible on public videos.

Export coverage

A downloaded file should not automatically be treated as the complete conversation.

Snapshot data

Comments and engagement can change after an export is created.

Reply coverage

A reply count does not mean the individual reply texts are included.

Hookest limits

A free account exports the first 150 comments on a video, and Pro exports up to 1,000 comments. Exports include reply counts but not reply text. A free account includes 1 export on this tool and Pro includes 5 a day. Opening a video you already exported, or one saved in the last 7 days with enough comments for your plan, does not use a run.

Open Your Export in Excel

Use the CSV file in Excel or Google Sheets to sort your findings and add notes. Keep the original export alongside your working copy so you can refer back to the collected data.

Turn Comment Research into Your Next Video

Choose a question that appears repeatedly and build a clear answer around it. Explore UGC Examples for demonstration formats, then use Hookest to find an opening that fits your message.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About TikTok Comment Exporter

Is the TikTok Comment Exporter Free?

Yes, with a free Hookest account. A free account includes 1 export on this tool, and Hookest Pro includes 5 exports a day. Opening a video you already exported does not use a run. If a video was exported in the last 7 days with enough comments for your plan, you get that saved export and it does not use a run either.

How Many Comments Can I Export from a TikTok Video?

A free account exports the first 150 comments on a video, and Hookest Pro exports up to 1,000 comments, in the order TikTok returns them. On videos with more comments than that, the file is a sample of the conversation rather than every comment. The result shows how many comments were collected next to the total on the video.

Why Does My Export Contain Fewer Comments Than Expected?

The exported file may represent only part of the conversation. Collection limits and comment availability can affect the results. Check the export count and whether individual replies are included before comparing it with the total shown on the video.

Does the Exporter Include Replies?

The export includes each comment’s reply count, not the text of the replies. Replies are not added as separate rows, so the number of rows can be lower than the comment total TikTok shows, which also counts replies.

Can I Analyze Sentiment in Exported Comments?

You can review the comment text and group responses into positive, neutral, or negative categories in your spreadsheet. Read comments in context, especially when they contain jokes, sarcasm, or short reactions. This manual review is separate from any automated sentiment analysis feature.

Why Does the Tool Use Public Comments?

The tool is designed to work with conversations available on public TikTok videos. It does not provide a way to reveal private or hidden discussions. Use a publicly accessible source video when starting an export.

Can I Open the CSV in Excel or Google Sheets?

A CSV file can be imported into Excel or Google Sheets for review. If the data appears in one column, check the delimiter settings during import. Review text encoding if emojis or non-Latin characters do not display as expected.

Can I Export Comments from a Private TikTok Account?

This workflow is intended for publicly accessible videos. A private video is outside that scope. Choose a public video whose comments are available to view.

How Fresh Is the Exported Data?

Treat each export as a snapshot rather than a live record. New comments and changes to engagement may not appear in a file you already downloaded. Check the collection date and the tool’s refresh policy when comparing exports.
