Can I export LinkedIn post reactions to Excel or CSV?

Not natively — LinkedIn has no export button in the reactions modal, so the only built-in option is manual copy-paste, which breaks down past a few dozen rows. To get a real spreadsheet, you need a tool that fetches the engager list for you. ReactedTo does this: paste the post URL and it returns a CSV — which Excel, Google Sheets, and Numbers all open directly — with each person's full name, LinkedIn URL, headline/job title, a category label, a confidence score, and their engagement type (reaction, comment, or both). It does not include email, phone, company size, or location.

Can I see who liked someone else's LinkedIn post?

Yes. The reaction list on any public LinkedIn post is visible to anyone who can see the post — you don't have to be the author. Click the reaction count beneath the post and the modal lists everyone who reacted, with their name and headline. The same is true for comments. This is exactly why engagement is such a useful prospecting signal: a competitor's or thought leader's post is a public, self-identified list of people interested in that topic, and you can read (and, with a tool, filter) that list.

Can I see who liked a post if I'm not connected to them?

Yes. Reactions on a public post are visible to anyone who can see the post, connection or not — you don't have to be in someone's network to see they reacted. Their name, photo, and headline all show in the reaction list either way. So you can work the engagers on a stranger's or competitor's post just as easily as on your own.

Is it against LinkedIn's Terms of Service to use reaction data for outreach?

Reaching out to someone based on a public action they took (reacting to a post) is normal professional networking — the data is public to anyone who can see the post. What matters is how you use it: send relevant, personalized, consent-respecting messages, not mass blasts, and honor opt-outs. ReactedTo hands you a list and a CSV; it does not send messages, scrape private data, or store engager data beyond your session needs, and it offers a GDPR data-deletion endpoint. Always follow LinkedIn's rules and applicable privacy law for the outreach itself.

What's the difference between reactions and comments for prospecting?

Both are public engagement signals, and a good tool fetches both. A reaction (Like, Celebrate, Insightful, etc.) is a lightweight signal that someone saw and approved of the post. A comment is a stronger signal — they took the time to write something, often revealing a specific opinion or pain you can reference in your opener. ReactedTo pulls reactors and commenters together and deduplicates anyone who did both, so a single person isn't counted twice in your list.

What does the relevant-vs-not-relevant split actually filter on?

It filters on each person's LinkedIn headline / job title, matched against the ICP you define — your target titles, an optional seniority range, and titles you want excluded. A three-layer classifier (a cache of known titles, keyword rules, then an AI pass on the genuinely ambiguous ones) assigns each person a category and a confidence score. It does not filter on company size, industry, or location — those aren't part of the product today, so the honest answer is: title-level filtering, done well, not firmographic enrichment.

How much does it cost to see and filter who liked a LinkedIn post?

Seeing who liked a post on LinkedIn is free. Filtering and exporting that list is where ReactedTo comes in: the free trial covers 150 engagers with no card — enough to work a real post end to end. Paid plans are priced by capacity, not features: Starter is $29/mo for 4,000 engagers and Pro is $79/mo for 15,000. One engager is one fetched profile (reactor or commenter); classification and CSV export are included at every tier.

How to See Who Liked a LinkedIn Post (and Actually Use the List)

Click the reaction count under any post and you’ll see everyone who liked it — yours or anyone else’s, no Premium needed. The catch: LinkedIn won’t let you filter, sort, or export that list, so a 600-like post is just a wall of names. Here’s how to see it, and how to turn it into a shortlist of people actually worth messaging.

So a post in your niche blows up. 600 reactions. Your buyers are obviously in there somewhere. The question is who they are — and how you get to them without losing an afternoon.

Start with what LinkedIn actually shows you.

Can you see who liked a LinkedIn post?

Yep. On any post there’s a little reaction count near the bottom (the 👍❤️ with a number next to it). Click it. A window pops up listing everyone who reacted — name, photo, headline, and which reaction they left. No tricks, no tool. You can scroll the whole thing.

Can you see who liked someone else’s post?

Also yes, and this is the part that matters. The reaction list on any public post is visible to anyone who can see the post. You don’t have to be the author. So a competitor’s launch, a thought leader’s hot take, your favorite creator’s viral rant — those are all public lists of people who just said “this topic is relevant to me.” Comments work the same way: every commenter is right there under the post.

Do you need Premium or Sales Navigator?

No. Seeing reactions is a free, normal LinkedIn feature. Premium and Sales Nav don’t unlock anything extra here — the list looks the same whether you pay LinkedIn or not. (Filtering and exporting it is a different story, which we’ll get to.)

Quick one: can people see when you like a post?

Yes. Liking is public — it shows in the post’s reaction list and can pop up in your activity. Good to know before you go on a 2am liking spree on a competitor’s page. Anyway, this post is about working other people’slikes, so let’s get back to it.

Where it falls apart

Seeing the list is easy. Using it is the problem.

Open that 600-reaction post and start copying names into a sheet. The first ten feel productive. By #40 you’re squinting at headlines guessing who’s a fit. By #80 your eyes glaze and you bail — and there are still 500+ rows you never looked at, stuffed with perfect-fit people.

The list fights you three ways:

No filter.You can’t say “just the VPs of Sales.” You eyeball every headline.
No export. No download button, anywhere. Into a sheet means copy-paste, row by row.
It goes cold.The longer you take, the less “saw you liked this” lands.

The part nobody talks about: qualifying the list

Here’s what every “how to see who liked a post” guide skips. Seeing the names was never the hard part. The hard part is working out which of those 600 people actually match who you sell to.

A viral post is maybe 80% noise for you — students, job-seekers, unrelated roles, the odd competitor. The 20% that fit your ICP is the whole game, and LinkedIn gives you zero help finding them.

That’s the gap ReactedTo fills. You paste the post URL, it pulls everyone who reacted andcommented (LinkedIn caps reactions at ~1,218 per post, which is the full list for the vast majority of posts; on a rare mega-viral post you’re working a big sample up to that cap, not literally every reactor), then sorts each person by job title against an ICP you define — relevant on top, everyone else out of the way. A 600-reaction post turns into “here are the ~40 worth a message” in about two minutes.

One honest note: it filters on people’s job titles / headlines— not company size, industry, or email. You get a clean, sorted list of people and their titles, not a firmographic database. For “which of these is my buyer,” that’s the exact cut you want. (This is the same engine behind ICP-filtered engagement prospecting.)

How to actually use a like list for outreach

Pick a post your buyers would care about. Competitor, thought leader, or your own. Tighter topic, higher hit rate.
Decide who counts. Target titles, maybe a seniority range, and the roles you never want.
Pull reactors and commentersso you don’t miss the people who actually wrote something.
Work the filtered list, not the whole thing.Message the fits with a real opener: “saw you reacted to Dana’s post on…”
Skip the other 560.That’s the point.
