LinkedIn gives you two options on the same screen. The fast selection is reported to be ready in about ten minutes, the larger archive within 24 hours, and the download link is valid for 72 hours before it expires. Ad_Targeting.csv is the file worth opening. Written 2026-08-24.
That request button opens LinkedIn's own export page, in a new tab. We never sit between you and them, never log in as you, and never ask for your password to any platform. When the file lands, the free Count opens it on your own device and prints the real numbers in about ten seconds. It reads LinkedIn exports; there is just no Count page scoped to LinkedIn yet. No account, and nothing is uploaded.
Your part of this is about two to four minutes. Everything after that is LinkedIn taking its time, and nothing you do speeds it up.
| What | How long reported |
|---|---|
| Fast file selection, reported | About ten minutes. |
| Larger data archive, reported | Within 24 hours. |
| Download window | 72 hours from the moment the link is issued. |
| Your own time | About 2 minutes to request. |
The fast selection is usually a few megabytes of CSV. The larger archive is tens to hundreds of megabytes, mostly because of messages and any media you have posted. reported
The LinkedIn download link is valid for 72 hours. That is the tightest window of the eight platforms on this site, and it catches people who request on a Friday.
Every wait window and every file size here is reported, not measured by us. It comes from the platform's own published help pages and from what people consistently say happens, and platforms change both without telling anyone. When we have a request we timed ourselves, this page will say measured and print the date the measurement was taken. Until then, treat these as the range to plan around rather than a promise.

When the file lands, drop it into the free Count. It runs entirely in your browser, there is no account, no email field and no card, and nothing is uploaded. The Count reads TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Google, Spotify, X, LinkedIn and Amazon exports, in zip or JSON.
The full Reading is 6.99 a week or 69.99 a year. No free trial. There is a Refund button in your dashboard for 7 days, one tap, no reason required. The Count stays free forever either way.
Reported at about ten minutes for a specific file selection and within 24 hours for the larger archive. The download link is valid for 72 hours. We have not measured this ourselves, and when we do this page will say measured and print the date.
The inferred targeting profile LinkedIn holds about you: job function, seniority, industry, company size, interests and more. It is one CSV and it is the file most people find hardest to look away from, because it is a description of you written by a system you have never spoken to.
Yes. The Count works with TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Google, Spotify, X, LinkedIn and Amazon exports, in zip or JSON, and it runs entirely in your browser with nothing uploaded.
One page per file. Each is the same browser local tool scoped to a different export, and none of them ask for an email.
Same shape every time: the exact taps, the reported wait, the real size, what is inside, and what is missing.
