Yes. Grabby is completely free right now, and everything is unlocked while it is in early access. Paid plans with cloud and team features are coming later.

No. Point and click, or let auto-detect do it.

What formats can I export to?

Download your data as CSV, JSON, Excel (TSV) or Markdown, or copy the whole table straight into Google Sheets or Excel. It all runs locally, so the file is yours.

Can it also grab emails, images, and detail pages?

Yes. Grabby extracts emails, social links, page metadata and images, and it can follow a column of links to pull fields from each detail page.

Is Grabby a free alternative to Instant Data Scraper?

Yes. Grabby is a free web scraper Chrome extension you can use in place of tools like Instant Data Scraper. It does point-and-click selection and auto-detect, handles pagination and infinite scroll, and also pulls emails, images, metadata and detail-page fields, then exports to CSV, JSON, Excel or Google Sheets.

Does it work on dynamic or logged-in sites?

Yes. It reads the page you actually see, so JavaScript content and logged-in pages both work.

Does it work on every website?

It works on virtually any site you can browse. Sites with heavy anti-bot protection or CAPTCHAs may block automated extraction, as they do with every scraper.

Where is my data stored?

Locally in your browser on the free plan. Nothing is uploaded.

Is web scraping legal?

Scraping public data is generally permissible, but many sites’ terms restrict it and personal data carries privacy obligations. Use responsibly and review each site’s terms. (Not legal advice.)

How to scrape a website to Excel without writing code

Copy-pasting rows is slow and coding a scraper is overkill. Here is the no-code middle path, from opening the page to a clean Excel file.

You found a page full of exactly the data you need: a product list, a directory, or search results. Now you have to get it into a spreadsheet. Copy-pasting each row by hand is slow and error-prone. Writing a scraper in Python is overkill for a one-off job. There is a middle path: a free, no-code web scraper Chrome extension that turns the page you are looking at into an Excel or CSV file in a few clicks.

Here is how to do it with Grabby, start to finish.

What you will need

Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Brave.
The Grabby web scraper Chrome extension, which is free. No account or sign-up is required, and it runs entirely in your browser.
The web page you want to scrape, open in a tab.

Step 1: Open Grabby on the page

Navigate to the page that has your data and click the Grabby icon in your toolbar. A side panel opens next to the page. Because Grabby reads the page you actually see, it works on JavaScript-rendered and logged-in pages that many scrapers miss, so you do not have to log out or find a special URL.

Step 2: Select the list

Choose Scrape List and hover over the data on the page. Grabby highlights the whole repeating list, so every product card, table row, or result is captured, and a single click grabs it. There are no CSS selectors or XPath to write. If you would rather not point at all, auto-detect usually finds the main list or table the moment you open the page.

Grabby figures out the columns for you: titles, prices, links, ratings, images, and so on. You will see a live preview of how many items and columns it found.

Step 3: Get every page, not just the first

Most lists span more than one screen. Before you run the scrape, tell Grabby how the site loads more items:

Pagination: for numbered pages or a “Next” button. Point at the button once and Grabby clicks through each page.
Auto-scroll: for infinite feeds that load as you scroll.
Load more: for pages with a “Load more” button.
Just this page: when everything you need is already on screen.

Hit Start, and Grabby walks the list, collecting rows across every page. On sites that load images lazily, turn on Accurate mode so each item scrolls into view and nothing comes back blank.

Step 4: Clean the data

Your results open in an editable table. This is where a good scrape becomes a good spreadsheet. You can rename columns, delete rows you do not want, remove empty rows, hide columns, and dedupe, all before you export, so the file lands ready to use.

Step 5: Export to Excel, CSV, or Google Sheets

Click Export and pick your format. For Excel, choose CSV or Excel (TSV) and open the file in Excel, or copy the whole table and paste it straight into a Google Sheet. You can also export to JSON or Markdown if you need the data somewhere other than a spreadsheet. Everything is saved locally, so the file is yours and nothing is uploaded.

The scraped product data as a clean spreadsheet with title, price, rating and image columns — The result: a tidy spreadsheet you can open in Excel or paste into Google Sheets.

A few tips

Save a scrape as a recipe so you can re-run it later in one click, which is handy for price tracking or weekly reports.
Need contact details? Grabby can extract emails and social links in bulk, on a single page or across a list of URLs.
Following each result into its detail page? Give Grabby a column of links and it opens each one to pull extra fields.

Scrape responsibly

Grabby works on virtually any site you can browse, but scraping is not a free-for-all. Many sites restrict automated collection in their terms, and personal data carries privacy obligations. Review the terms of the sites you use and comply with the law. (This is a how-to guide, not legal advice.)
