From LinkedIn export to insight.
In LinkedIn’s settings, open Data privacy and request a copy of your data. Choose the larger archive if you want more than your connections. When the download is ready, save the ZIP and extract it on your device.
Open the extracted folder
Return to LinkedIn Archive and choose Open export folder. Select the extracted folder containing the CSVs. Your browser may ask you to confirm access to those files. The word “upload” in a browser file-picker confirmation means giving this page access; the tool itself does not transmit the files. You can also use Choose CSV files to select only the files you want to inspect.
Explore your records
Use Network for companies, roles and people; Messages for activity and conversations; Applications for job history; Activity for searches, ad clicks, learning and invitations; and Profile & targeting for exported platform labels. Data sources explains coverage and any import notes.
Understand the limits
Connections are the people present in the export, not every connection you ever made. A blank field stays unknown. Message attribution uses the name in Profile.csv. Application records do not establish responses or hiring outcomes. LinkedIn’s inferences are platform labels, not verified facts about you. Raw LinkedIn search text is preserved after its timestamps, including quote marks and commas, with format notes where needed.
