Export Your Facebook Friend’s Contact Details

Cross Post With In-Face-Book and Google-Chrome

There is a Google Chrome extension by Mohamed Mansour which let you export your Facebook friend’s data to your computer as CSV or in your Gmail account. You will able to export Name, Emails, Phone numbers, Screen names, and Websites which are shared with you by your friends.

Let see how you can do it

1. Go to Facebook Friend Exporter extension page
2. Click on Install button

3. After your extension get install go to Facebook.com
4. There you will see a new option called Export friends! is added in your Facebook menu bar, click on it

5. A popup will come asking Redirect now, click on it

6. It will take you to Edit Friends page (don’t close this page) and also open a new tab/window
7. Now read their terms and conditions (you should read it)
8. Now select I have read the Terms of Service. (if you read it)
9. Then click on Let’s get started! Button

10. Now you will see all your friends (if you have many friends it may take time to load page)
11. At the top you will see let’s start! Button click on it

12. Now you will see some activities going on in Edit Friends page

Now wait if you have many friends (in hundreds) then it will take hours because Facebook don’t allow visiting more than 60 profiles in an hour. By the time you can continue doing whatever you like in a new tab/window. If you closed the tab/window you can continue till where it was left just follow from the step 4 as because it cached all the data in your computer.

13. After it cached all your friends you will see a massage in top box
14. If you want to skip any friend data just uncheck them (by default all are checked)
15. Now click on Gmail button if you want to save data in Google Contacts

16. Then it will ask you to access your Google Contacts (if you are not login it will ask you to login to your Gmail account in which you want to save)
17. Now click on Grant access button

18. Now all your data is saved in Gmail Contacts with a label name called Importde from Facebook
19. Or click on CSV button if you want to save it in CSV

20. A blog will appear where you will see all your data
21. Open a notepad
22. Copy-past that data into that notepad
23. Save (Ctrl + S) the notepad
24. While saving select All files (*.*) in Save as type option
25. Then give the name to that file after the name put .csv
26. Now save the file

It might be looking big task but when you will do it is not at all a big task, I have just written each and every steps that why it may be looking big takes.
