How to Export Etsy Reviews to CSV or Excel (Free Guide)

Why export Etsy reviews to CSV in the first place

Etsy reviews are genuinely useful information, but Etsy’s interface is built for browsing one review at a time, not for analysis. If you want to spot a pattern, that means you’re stuck scrolling, squinting, and mentally tallying stars as you go. Exporting the same reviews to CSV or Excel turns that scattered reading experience into a spreadsheet you can sort, filter, and actually work with.

There are three situations where this comes up most often.

Monitoring product quality across a shop. If a shop sells several variations of a similar item (different colors, sizes, or personalization options), reading reviews one listing at a time makes it hard to see whether a quality issue is isolated or shows up across the whole catalog. A spreadsheet lets you filter by item purchased and compare ratings side by side.

Auditing shop reputation over time. Etsy shops evolve. A shop that had a strong review history a year ago might have shifted suppliers, changed hands, or scaled up production in a way that affected consistency. Having the review dates and ratings in a spreadsheet makes it much easier to sort chronologically and look for a shift, rather than trying to remember what you read three scroll-lengths ago.

Analysing photo reviews specifically. Photo reviews are common on Etsy, and they tend to carry more signal than text alone, especially for handmade, made-to-order, or highly visual products where “as pictured” is the whole question. When photo reviews are exported alongside the rest of the data, you can quickly identify which reviews include images and focus your attention there instead of opening every single review to check.

None of this requires anything exotic. It just requires getting the reviews out of Etsy’s one-at-a-time interface and into a format built for comparison.

What data you actually get in the export

When you export Etsy reviews with ExportReviews, each row in your CSV, XLSX, or JSON file represents one review, with the following fields:

• Rating: the star rating the reviewer gave
• Review text: the written comment, exactly as it appears on the page
• Review date: when the review was posted
• Reviewer name: the name or handle shown publicly on the review
• Item purchased: which specific listing or variation the review is attached to
• Photos: whether the review included photos, so you can flag and follow up on visual reviews
• Shop reply: the seller’s public response, if one was posted

Etsy shows reviews at two levels: at the level of an individual listing, and rolled up across the whole shop. ExportReviews reads whichever view you’re on, so you can export a single item’s reviews for a focused look, or a shop-wide view when you want the bigger picture.

How to export Etsy reviews step by step

1. Install the ExportReviews extension from the Chrome Web Store. It only activates on pages it recognizes, so it won’t interfere with normal browsing.
2. Open the Etsy shop or listing page whose reviews you want, and make sure the reviews are visible on the page (scroll through them if Etsy loads them progressively).
3. Open the ExportReviews side panel by clicking the extension icon. It will detect that you’re on a supported Etsy page and show you a preview of the reviews it found, with the rating, text, date, and other fields listed above.
4. Review the preview. This is your chance to confirm the extraction picked up what you expect before generating anything, and to spot right away if something looks off.
5. Choose your format (CSV, XLSX, or JSON) and export. The file is generated entirely in your browser session and downloads straight to your computer, exactly like any other file download.

That’s the whole workflow. There’s no copy-pasting individual reviews, no manual retyping of star ratings, and no separate tool to open afterward, everything happens in the same tab you were already reading in.

What to do with the data once it’s exported

Once you have Etsy reviews in a spreadsheet, a few uses come up repeatedly:

• Sort by rating to pull up the lowest-scored reviews first and read them together, which surfaces recurring complaints faster than reading in chronological order.
• Filter by item purchased when a shop sells several variants, so you can tell whether a problem is specific to one variation or spread across the whole shop.
• Sort by date to see whether ratings have trended up or down recently, which is a more honest picture than an overall average that blends old and new reviews together.
• Flag rows with photos to prioritize reading the reviews most likely to show you what the product actually looks like in practice, rather than relying on the listing photos alone.
• Search the review text column for a specific word or phrase (a material, a sizing issue, a shipping concern) across every review at once instead of reading each one individually.

If you’re comparing multiple shops before deciding where to buy, exporting each shop’s reviews separately and combining the files gives you one consistent view instead of several open tabs you’re trying to hold in your head at once.

A short, honest note on responsible use

Etsy reviews are public content, visible to anyone who opens the page, so viewing and organizing them for your own use is a reasonable and common thing to do. That said, a few points are worth keeping in mind:

• Export reviews you can already see on the page in front of you. ExportReviews doesn’t dig up hidden or private data, it works with what Etsy is already showing you.
• Respect Etsy’s own terms of service for how you use exported data, especially if you plan to publish, redistribute, or build a product around it rather than using it for personal research or purchase decisions.
• If you’re handling reviewer names or other personal information, be mindful of applicable data protection rules (GDPR, if you’re in or dealing with the EU) around how you store, use, and eventually delete that data, particularly if you keep exports for any length of time.
• Use the data to understand a shop or product, not to misrepresent it. A spreadsheet is a research tool, not a substitute for reading enough real reviews to form a fair impression.

None of this is meant to be alarmist, it’s just the same common sense that applies to working with any public information: it’s fine to collect and organize it, and it’s on you to use it reasonably.

Wrapping up

Exporting Etsy reviews to CSV or Excel turns a slow, scroll-heavy browsing experience into a spreadsheet you can actually sort, filter, and search. Whether you’re tracking product quality across a shop’s variants, checking whether a shop’s reputation has shifted over time, or specifically hunting for photo reviews before you buy, having the rating, review text, date, reviewer name, item purchased, photos, and shop reply in one file makes the comparison far faster than reading review by review.

Everything runs locally in your browser: the extraction, the file generation, all of it happens in your own session, and review content never gets sent to any server. Your first 25 rows are free with no account required, and if you need more, credits never expire and work across every exporter in the ExportReviews lineup, at one credit per row. Install ExportReviews, open the Etsy shop you want to look at, and see the reviews as a spreadsheet instead of a scroll.
