Export Results to CSV

Download all your survey responses as a CSV file in seconds. Available on every plan, with full data including timestamps and respondent metadata.

Step-by-Step Export

Open the survey you want to export

Navigate to your dashboard and click on the survey whose responses you want to download. You need at least one response before the export option becomes available.

Click the "Results" tab

Once inside the survey editor, click the Results tab in the top navigation bar. This view shows all collected responses in a table format with summary statistics at the top.

Click "Export CSV" button

In the Results toolbar, locate the Export CSV button (marked with a download icon). Click it to open the export options dialog where you can customize what data is included.

Choose export options (all responses or filtered)

Select whether you want to export all responses or only the currently filtered subset. If you have applied date range filters or status filters in the Results view, those filters carry over to the export. You can also choose which columns to include or exclude.

Download starts automatically

The CSV file is generated server-side and your browser automatically downloads it. Check your Downloads folder for a file named with your survey title and the export date. Large exports (10,000+ responses) may take a few seconds to prepare.

What's Included in the Export

Every CSV export contains the following data columns by default:

All question responses — Each question becomes a column, and each row represents one respondent's answers. Multiple-choice answers are comma-separated within the cell.
Submission timestamps — The date and time each response was submitted, formatted in ISO 8601 (UTC). Useful for tracking response velocity and time-based analysis.
Respondent metadata — Includes the respondent's browser, operating system, and language when available. Personally identifiable information is only included if you configured the survey to collect it.
Completion status — Shows whether the response is complete or partial. Partial responses are included by default but you can filter them out before exporting.

Tips for Working with CSV Exports

Opening in Microsoft Excel: Double-click the downloaded file to open it in Excel. If special characters look garbled, use Excel's "Get Data from Text/CSV" import wizard and select UTF-8 encoding.
Opening in Google Sheets: Upload the CSV file to Google Drive, then right-click and choose "Open with Google Sheets." Google Sheets handles UTF-8 encoding automatically.
Filtering before export: Use the date range picker and status filters in the Results view to narrow down responses before exporting. This saves time when you only need data from a specific period.
Automating exports: On Pro and Enterprise plans, use the SurveyFill API to programmatically export responses on a schedule. This is useful for feeding data into business intelligence tools or data warehouses.
