About TelegramtoCSV
What we do
TelegramtoCSV is the simplest way to export the full message history of a public Telegram channel into a structured CSV file. No signup, no install, no learning curve — paste a channel link, get a downloadable archive.
Why we built it
Telegram is one of the world's largest messaging platforms, and many public channels — news outlets, research projects, market analysts, niche communities — publish important information there. But Telegram's interface is optimized for casual reading, not for archiving, searching, or analysis.
If you're a researcher trying to study public discourse, a marketer benchmarking competitors, a journalist preserving evidence, or a data analyst feeding a pipeline, copying messages by hand is impractical. Existing alternatives are either complex Python scripts (require API keys, programming knowledge) or expensive enterprise tools (overkill for a one-time export).
We built TelegramtoCSV to fill that gap: a fast, free-to-start, web-based export tool that just works.
Who's behind this
TelegramtoCSV is built and maintained by an independent developer based in Turkey. It's a solo project — no marketing team, no investors, no growth hacking playbook. Just a useful tool that pays for its own hosting through optional paid exports and unobtrusive ads on the free tier.
If you want to reach out — feedback, feature requests, bug reports, partnerships — email riven2430@gmail.com. We read every message.
How it works
Under the hood, TelegramtoCSV uses Telegram's official public API (via the open-source Pyrogram library) to fetch messages from the channel you specify. We never access private chats or private channels — only data that is already publicly visible to anyone with a Telegram account, the same content you could read by visiting t.me/channel_name in your browser.
Messages are streamed into a CSV file with five columns:
- Message ID — Telegram's internal identifier
- Date — UTC timestamp
- Content — text or caption;
[Media/File]for non-text messages - Views — total view count at time of export
- Link — direct URL back to the original message
The CSV is then compressed into a ZIP and made available for download. After approximately one hour, the file is automatically deleted from our servers.
Our principles
Privacy first. We don't ask for your email, name, or any account information. We don't track you beyond what's necessary to run the service and serve ads on the free tier (Google Analytics for traffic, Google AdSense for ads — both with explicit consent management).
Transparency. Our pricing is on the homepage, our wallet address is published, every paid transaction is verifiable on the public TRON blockchain. There are no hidden fees, no surprise charges, no upsells.
Independence. TelegramtoCSV is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Telegram Messenger Inc. or any related entity. We're an independent third-party tool that uses Telegram's public API in accordance with their terms.
Sustainability. The free tier (last 500 messages, ad-supported) is what we can offer at no charge. The paid tier ($5 USDT TRC20 for unlimited exports) keeps the worker accounts, servers, and bandwidth running. We don't have venture capital — the service is priced to actually pay for itself.
