# How to export Contact profiles

__Learn how to export contact data from Crisp and what to use when you need conversation exports.__

Crisp can export your contact profiles as a CSV from the ****Contacts**** section. Conversation exports are handled differently: they are not available as a native CSV export from the Crisp app and must be done through the ****API**** or a third-party migration tool.

# Export contact data as CSV

Contact exports are available from ****Crisp CRM****, starting from the ****Essentials**** plan.

#### Run the contact export

Go to [**Crisp**](https://app.crisp.chat), then open ****Contacts → Actions → Export Contact Profiles****.

__Once you launch the export:__

* Crisp prepares the CSV file for your workspace
* The export can take a few minutes, depending on your number of contacts
* You receive an email notification when the export is ready

# Export conversation data

Conversation data cannot be exported as a native CSV from the Crisp dashboard at the moment.

__To export conversations for another platform, use one of these options:__

* ****Crisp API**** → best when your team can build or run a custom export
* ****Third-party migration tool**** → useful when you want an external tool, such as Briskport, to handle the export flow

If you are exporting a large conversation volume through the API and reach daily rate limits, your team can request a higher limit. The request will be reviewed by Crisp.

---

# Limitations

__Before planning an export, keep these limits in mind:__

* ****Contact exports**** → limited to 200,000 contacts; contact Crisp if you need to export more
* ****Conversation exports**** → not available as a native CSV export from the Crisp app
