Export your website stats
There are a couple of different ways you can export your stats.
Export specific time ranges or audience segments
You can export your stats directly from the top chart of your Plausible dashboard. This is the quickest and most convenient option when you want to export specific audience segments or time ranges for reporting purposes. It also allows you to export any of the data that you imported into Plausible from external sources such as Google Analytics. Here's how to do it:
- Select the date range in the top right of your Plausible dashboard to view the specific time period
- Filter your dashboard by any metric that you wish to create a specific audience segment. Do include a goal in the filter (such as external link clicks, file downloads or custom events) if you're looking to export specific conversion metrics
- If applicable, click on the "Import" icon on the right-hand side of the top chart of your Plausible dashboard to choose whether you want your imported data to be included in the export
- Then click on the "Download" icon on the right-hand side of the top chart of your Plausible dashboard to download the stats for your chosen view and segment
This will export a ZIP file which includes CSV files of the individual reports. You can then use these CSV files to import your stats into Excel or other data analysis tools.
Note that for the export to be as quick as possible, the individual CSV files are limited to 300 entries each, while page reports are limited to 100 entries each with this method. For a full data export, refer to the instructions below.
Export all stats to date
Here's how to export all the native data collected for a particular Plausible dashboard to date. This export method is slower, cannot be segmented and is best suited for data portability purposes. It also doesn't include any data that you imported from external sources.
- Go to the Plausible Analytics site settings for the website for which you'd like to export the data
- In the "Imports & Exports" section, find the "Export Data" panel and click on the "Export to CSV" button
- Your export will be queued and we'll email you when it's ready for download. You'll have 24 hours to download the data after the export is ready
