How to Download LinkedIn Contacts CSV

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to export your LinkedIn connections as a CSV file.

Quick summary

To download your LinkedIn contacts as a CSV, you navigate through Settings & Privacy to request a data archive of your connections, which LinkedIn then delivers to your email. This built-in export feature lets you back up or migrate your LinkedIn network data without any third-party tools.


Steps

  1. Click on your profile or name in the LinkedIn navigation bar.
  2. Select 'Settings & Privacy' from the dropdown menu.
  3. Click 'Data Privacy' in the left-hand settings panel.
  4. Select 'Get a copy of your data' to begin the export process.
  5. Choose how to export your data using the available options.
  6. From the drop-down options, select 'Connections' to specify what data to include.
  7. Click 'Request archive' to submit your data download request.
  8. Check your email for the LinkedIn contacts CSV file sent by LinkedIn.

📌 Why this matters

Downloading your LinkedIn contacts as a CSV gives professionals full ownership of their network data, enabling seamless CRM imports, outreach campaigns, and relationship management outside of LinkedIn. LinkedIn does not provide a direct one-click export, so knowing the exact path through Settings, Data Privacy, and the data archive request is essential for anyone looking to back up or leverage their connections. This process is especially valuable for sales teams, recruiters, and marketers who need structured contact lists for tools like HubSpot, Salesforce, or email platforms. Having a step-by-step interactive walkthrough removes the guesswork and saves time for users unfamiliar with LinkedIn's privacy settings.
