What Is This Tool?

FB Ad Library Helper is a lightweight Chrome extension that helps you research Meta/Facebook Ads Library faster.

In Meta Ads Library, checking long-running ads, saving creatives, and copying ad text usually means opening cards, scanning details, and repeating the same steps again and again. FB Ad Library Helper brings active-duration badges, duration filters, creative saving, text copying, and Creative View into card buttons and top controls, turning those repeated steps into one-click actions.

It is built for marketers, performance advertisers, creative researchers, ecommerce operators, and agencies who need to review ads faster.

Key Features

1. Active Duration Badge

Active Duration Badge at the top of an ad card

Each ad card shows how long the ad has been active.

For example, 592d Active means the ad has been running for roughly 592 days.

A long-running ad can be a useful research signal because it may indicate that the advertiser keeps it active over time.

This does not guarantee performance. It is only a lightweight signal to help you decide which ads to review.

2. More Ads

More Ads button on an ad card

Use the More Ads button on an ad card to open more active ads from the same advertiser faster.

Use it when:

  • You want to review a competitor's ad portfolio
  • You want to compare creative variations from one advertiser
  • You want to move from a single ad card to the advertiser-level Ads Library page faster

3. Save Creative

Save Creative button on an ad card

Use Save Creative to save media from a single ad card.

Each creative is saved as an individual file.

Saved media goes to your browser's default download location.

Use it when:

  • You want to save one useful creative quickly
  • You are building a reference folder for ad inspiration
  • You want to keep downloaded assets connected to their ad IDs

4. Copy Text

Copy Text button on an ad card

Use Copy Text to copy the ad's main text, headline, and description in a structured format.

Even when an ad is missing some fields, the copied output keeps the same structure so you can see what was present and what was empty.

Use it when:

  • You want to collect hooks, headlines, and descriptions
  • You want to paste ad copy into a spreadsheet, document, or research note
  • You want to compare messaging across multiple creatives

5. Duration Filter

Duration filter buttons
Duration filters help you focus on ads that have stayed active longer.

Use duration filters to narrow the current results to longer-running ads.

Available filters:

Clicking a filter shows only ads in the current results that have been active for at least that long.

Filtered Ads Library page after clicking a duration filter
After clicking a filter, only ads that match the selected active-duration threshold are shown.

The number beside each filter means how many loaded ads match that condition. It is calculated within the context of the Facebook search results shown on the left.

Meta Ads Library search-result count
Filter counts are calculated within the current search-results context.

Long-running ads can be useful research signals because advertisers may continue spending on ads that remain active.

This is not a performance guarantee. It is a lightweight research signal.

6. Creative View

Save All and Creative View buttons in the top controls
You can use Save All and Creative View from the top controls.

Use Creative View to simplify the Ads Library page and focus more on thumbnails and videos.

Ads Library page simplified by Creative View
Creative View reduces page clutter so you can focus on the creative itself.

Use it when:

  • You want to scan many creatives quickly
  • You want a cleaner page for creative review
  • You want to combine visual review with duration filters

7. Save All

Save All button in the top controls
Save All downloads currently loaded ad creatives in one batch.

Save All bundles media from up to 50 currently loaded ad cards into a ZIP file. One card may contain multiple files.

Ads Library loads more ad cards as you scroll. When new cards are loaded, the Save All count is recalculated. If you save again, the newly loaded creatives are included based on what is loaded at that moment.

A download summary appears after saving finishes.

Use it when:

  • You want to save loaded creatives in a batch
  • You want to combine duration filters with batch saving
  • You want a faster workflow than saving ads one by one
