How do I export my Kit (ConvertKit) subscribers?

In Kit (formerly ConvertKit), go to Subscribers. To export a segment, open it from the right sidebar on the Subscribers page. To export only active subscribers, click Status and choose Confirmed subscriber. Tick the checkbox at the top of the list, then click Select all so every subscriber is selected, not just the current page. Click the three-dot menu, then Export. Download the file from the link Kit emails you, or from the notification icon panel. If the link still reads Select all rather than Deselect all, only the current page is selected. Download links expire after five days.

Will verification find the inactive subscribers on my Kit (ConvertKit) list?

No. Verification tells you whether an address can receive mail, not whether the person reads it. Someone who has not opened in a year can have a perfectly valid mailbox. Handle disengaged people with an engagement segment and a re-permission or sunset email, and use verification for addresses that are invalid or at risk of bouncing.

What does a risky result mean?

A risky address could not be confirmed as a real mailbox, usually because the domain accepts all mail (catch-all) or the provider will not say. An unconfirmed address is never reported as valid. Keep risky addresses out of your first send and mail them later, most engaged first.

Is there a free way to try this on my Kit (ConvertKit) list?

Yes. Sign in with Google and the first 100 addresses are checked free, with results to download and no card. After that, verification is $29.99 a month on the Pro plan.

Clean your Kit (ConvertKit) subscriber list

Export your Kit (ConvertKit) subscribers as a CSV, verify every address, then import the valid file back and keep the risky one out of your first send. Verification finds addresses that cannot receive mail. It cannot tell who has stopped reading, and an address it cannot confirm is called risky, never valid.

2. What Kit (ConvertKit) already does with bounces

Kit gives a hard-bounced subscriber the Bounced status, unsubscribes them from your list, and says you are charged only for confirmed subscribers, so bounced addresses do not add to your bill. (Kit help: why is my subscriber showing as Bounced)
That also means an address that has gone dead but has not bounced yet is still a confirmed subscriber and still on your bill. Verification finds it before the bounce does. (Kit help: why is my subscriber showing as Bounced)
Soft bounces (temporary problems such as a full inbox) leave the subscriber as Confirmed and Kit keeps sending. Un-bouncing is done by Kit support, not by you. (Kit help: why is my subscriber showing as Bounced)

Inactive is not invalid. A subscriber who has not opened for a year usually has a working mailbox, so verification keeps them. Deal with them separately: segment by last engagement, send a re-permission email, and remove the ones who do not answer. Verification is for the addresses that would bounce.

3. What verification can and cannot tell you

It can tell you

The address is malformed or the domain has no mail servers.
The mailbox does not exist, where the provider answers the check.
The domain is disposable, which is common for junk signups.
The domain accepts all mail, so the address cannot be confirmed.

It cannot tell you

Whether the person reads your issues.
Whether they agreed to hear from you.
Whether the address is a spam trap.
Whether a risky address is real. Providers that hide mailbox status and catch-all domains stay unconfirmed.

Unconfirmed always means risky, never valid. You get three files back, valid, risky and invalid, with your original Kit (ConvertKit) columns kept.

4. Import the clean file back

Import the valid file as your active list. Keep the original columns so tags, names and signup dates survive.
Do not re-import the invalid file. Addresses the platform already suppressed stay suppressed, and re-adding dead ones only brings the bounces back.
Hold the risky file out of the first send. Mail it later, to the most engaged people first, and watch the bounce rate on that send.
Because Kit marks hard-bounced people as Bounced and only support can reverse that, do not re-import an address that already bounced as if it were new.

Kit (ConvertKit) bounce rate limits

Kit does not publish a bounce-rate enforcement number that we could find. Source: Kit help: deliverability success, read 23 Oct 2026. Other platforms' published lines are in bounce rate limits by platform.

How much is a dirty Kit (ConvertKit) list costing you?

Enter your own numbers. The share of dead addresses is your estimate (your last bounce rate is a floor, since only some dead addresses have bounced yet). Nothing is sent anywhere.

Check a Kit (ConvertKit) address, then your list

Type any address. It gets the same check the paid plans run: syntax, the domain’s mail servers and, where the provider allows it, a live mailbox check. Nothing is sent to the address.

Email address

Five checks a minute, no account needed. Nothing is sent to the address — we ask its mail server whether the mailbox exists, then disconnect.
