Export Description of Fields from Salesforce

Hi,
Can some one please suggest any Free AppExchange tool which can be used to export description of the fields from Standard and custom objects from Salesforce Org ?
I am able to search few of them but they have paid version to export description fields.

Thanks in advance

Hi Gaurav,
  • First, you have to install the Google extension "Salesforce Inspector".
  • Please check the below link of the Salesforce inspector extension.
  • https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/salesforce-inspector/aodjmnfhjibkcdimpodiifdjnnncaafh 
  • In Salesforce Inspector click on Data Export and write the below query.
    SELECT QualifiedApiName,  Description
    FROM FieldDefinition 
    WHERE EntityDefinition.DeveloperName='Account'
    
  • You can download the query result in CSV, Jason, and Excel format.
  • You can use a data loader and workbench for the same.
Please mark it as Best Answer if the above information was helpful.

I was trying to use the above query for custom object but it is not returning any results. 
Is there any issue with the query or permission ?
