Facebook Ad Library downloaders: what they do, and what to save instead

Most people searching for a Facebook Ad Library downloader are trying to keep competitor ads for research: a video here, a screenshot there, dumped into a folder that no one ever opens again. Sketchy browser extensions can pull a raw MP4, but you lose the advertiser, the run dates and any way to search what you saved a week later.

For Facebook creative, those extensions really are the tool: AdEye does not read Meta's library and cannot download from it. What AdEye is built for is the job behind the download, applied to Google's ad archive. Instead of scattering files across your desktop, it saves each competitor's Google ad into a searchable swipe file, tagged by hook, angle and format, with the run length attached so you can tell a proven ad from a one-day test. Public transparency data only, nothing behind a login.

Google Ads Transparency has no ads on record for that search. Google indexes ads by advertiser, so the brand's exact domain works best, for example nike.com.
Google Ads Transparency has no ads on record for . That is an answer about the brand, not a problem with the search: they are not running Google ads that Google publishes, or they advertise under a different registered name.
We could not reach Google Ads Transparency just now, so this is not a result about that brand, we simply could not look. Please try again in a moment. This search has not been counted against your allowance.

Why it works

What a Facebook Ad Library downloader should actually do

Save the ad, keep the context

A raw video download loses the advertiser name, the start date and the run history. AdEye saves a whole Google ad with its hook, angle and run length intact, so the swipe is still useful months later. For Meta creative, note what you save alongside the file yourself.

A searchable swipe file

Everything you save is filterable by brand, hook, angle and format, so your library of competitor ads is something you can actually search instead of a folder of anonymous clips.

Only proven ads worth saving

Sort by how long each creative has been running, so you save the ads a competitor keeps funding, not the tests they killed after a day.

What it surfaces

Every ad card carries the hook, angle and a working signal

You type a brand or a domain. AdEye pulls that advertiser's live public Google ads into one feed and AI-tags each creative on the paid plans, so you read the strategy and spot the long-running winners before you save a single one.

  • Save any public Google ad in one click

Why AdEye

One feed, the AI read, the working signal in view

Not a stale doc full of screenshots. One query for a brand, the run length on every creative, and a swipe file worth reopening. Public ad-library data only.

Every Google ad at once

The Google Ads Transparency Center searched by brand or domain, so competitor ad research is one query instead of clicking through Google's own viewer.

The AI reads the why

Creatives are tagged with their hook, angle and format on the paid plans, a few per search and kept once read, and a working signal flags the long-runners, so you see why an ad works, not just what it ran.

A swipe file that stays current

Save winners to boards, each keeping its run length and a link back to the original creative on Google, so the file is still useful months later.

Good questions

Questions about ad library downloader

Yes. Because ad-library creatives are public, you can save the underlying video for private research: right-click the video, use your browser developer tools to find the video URL, or use a screen recorder. For competitor research at any real scale, saving each ad into a searchable, tagged swipe file beats collecting loose MP4 files you cannot search later.
Saving public ads for private research and inspiration is generally fine under US fair-use norms, since the Meta Ad Library exists precisely to make ads public. What is not fine is re-uploading a competitor's actual video as your own ad. Study the hook and angle, then make your own creative.
A free extension pulls a raw file and stops there. AdEye keeps the advertiser and the run dates with every saved ad, AI-tags the hook and angle, and lets you search everything you have saved from one place. We compare the popular add-ons one by one on the ad library Chrome extension alternative page.
No. AdEye only ever reads the public transparency data Google publishes. There is nothing behind a login, no private accounts and no personal data involved.
