How to Export Contacts from HubSpot : Step-by-Step Guide
To begin, open your web browser and sign in to your HubSpot dashboard using your credentials. This will take you to your main account overview where you can access all tools.

Once you're logged in, navigate to the main menu and find the section labeled "CRM". This area organizes your customer management tools and records.

Inside the CRM menu, look for the "Contacts" tab. This is where all individual contact records are stored and can be managed.

Use the search bar at the top to find the specific contact you want to export. Once located, select their entry by ticking the checkbox next to their name to prepare for export.

With your contact selected, look for the "Export" button usually positioned above the contact list. Clicking this will open the export options.

In the export dialog, you’ll be prompted to choose the file type you want for your download (such as CSV or XLSX) as well as the language preference for the exported data.

After adjusting the settings to fit your needs, confirm by clicking on the final "Export" button. This will initiate the download of your contact file to your computer.

Well done! Your selected contact's details have now been successfully exported from HubSpot and are ready for you to use outside the platform.
