If you need to download recent Instagram posts to Excel for analysis, reporting, or content planning, a simple workflow makes the process fast and reliable. RecentReborn helps you find the most recent Instagram posts by hashtag and now includes a new download button to export those posts to Excel.

What is RecentReborn?

If you’ve used Instagram lately for research, networking, or trend-spotting, you’ve likely noticed a frustrating change: the "Recent" tab is gone. Instagram now forces you to see a stream of “For You” content, curated by an algorithm rather than the clock.

This is where Recentreborn comes in. It is the essential tool for professionals who need to find, track, and download recent Instagram content without algorithmic interference.

Once results are available, use the new download button on our history page to export the posts to an Excel file:

How to Access the Export Tool

The ability to download recent Instagram data is an exclusive feature for our Pro and Business subscribers.

We introduced a new download button that lets you download the recent Instagram results directly to Excel. This streamlines the handoff from discovery to analysis and makes it easy to share the data with a team or import it into your reporting templates.

The download file contains your hashtag search query, the direct URL to the Instagram post and the direct URL to the author’s profile.The download file contains your hashtag search query, the direct URL to the Instagram post and the direct URL to the author’s profile.

I built RecentReborn because Instagram’s decision to hide recent posts made it impossible to find real people and small creators who are not already famous. My vision for 2026 is to restore the original soul of social media by giving everyone a fair chance to be discovered and supported through chronological search.
