Recover Your Reddit Saved Posts — Past the 1,000 Limit
Reddit only shows your most recent ~1,000 saves. Older saves aren't deleted — they're just unreachable from the app and the website. They still exist in Reddit's records, and Reddit will hand them to you in your official data export. This page counts them; our Chrome extension turns them back into a real, titled archive.
How many saves has Reddit hidden from you?

Counted entirely in your browser. The file never leaves your computer — this page makes no network requests with your data.
Your export lists saves as bare permalinks — no titles, no subreddits, no text. Getting those back requires your own logged-in Reddit session, which is exactly what the extension does, entirely inside your browser.
The extension
Recover & Export Saved Posts for Reddit — arriving on the Chrome Web Store this week. Free: export everything Reddit still shows you (CSV, JSON, or Markdown) and preview your full recovered archive on screen. $10, once: download the recovered archive — titles, subreddits, authors, dates, with deleted and removed posts clearly flagged. No subscription, no account, no server: everything runs in your browser on your own login.
How recovery works
- Request your data from Reddit at
reddit.com/settings/data-request(choose “full time at Reddit”). This is Reddit's own GDPR/CCPA export — available to every account, once per 30 days. - Wait for the message. Reddit sends a download link to your Reddit inbox — typically within 24–72 hours (up to 30 days). The link expires, so download the ZIP when it arrives.
- Feed
saved_posts.csvto the extension. It looks up every permalink through your own logged-in session at a gentle, human pace, rebuilds titles and metadata, flags posts that were deleted or removed, and shows you the whole archive. Download it when you're ready.
What's actually in the export file
We've tested against real exports. saved_posts.csv has exactly two columns:
| Column | Contents |
|---|---|
id | The post's base-36 id (e.g. 1vxdkxs) |
permalink | A bare link like https://www.reddit.com/r/…/comments/…/ — no title, no text |
Saved comments arrive separately in saved_comments.csv with the
same shape. The export includes saves far beyond the visible 1,000 — it's the only official
source that does.
Questions people actually ask
Are my old saves deleted?
No. The ~1,000 limit is a display limit on Reddit's listings. Saves beyond it remain in your account data — your data export proves it. They're hidden, not gone.
Does Reddit Premium raise the limit?
No. Premium has never lifted the saved-posts cap, and there's no setting that does.
Is this allowed?
The export is Reddit's own official data-request feature — your legal right to your data. The extension only automates your own browser, on your own account, at human speed. Use it consistently with Reddit's User Agreement. This tool is not affiliated with or endorsed by Reddit, Inc.
What about posts that were deleted since I saved them?
The extension flags them instead of silently dropping them — you'll see which saves point at content that has since been deleted or removed, with whatever detail is still retrievable.
What do I need?
Desktop Chrome (or any Chromium browser), logged in to your Reddit account. The extension doesn't work on phones — Reddit's mobile apps can't run extensions.
Where does my data go?
Nowhere. Parsing, recovery, and export all run locally in your browser. No account, no cloud, no analytics. See the privacy policy — it's four paragraphs because there's nothing to disclose.
