Ad Library Chrome Extension: Save and Analyze Any Ad From Your Browser

How It Works

Just browse Instagram or Facebook like you normally do. When an ad shows up in your feed, you'll see a save button on the post. Click it, and the ad library extension grabs:

• The full ad creative (image, video, or carousel) with persistent storage, so creatives don't expire
• Advertiser name, profile picture, and Facebook Page
• Full caption and call-to-action with landing page URL
• Estimated ad spend and impressions
• Audience breakdown by age, gender, and country
• Publisher platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Audience Network)
• Delivery timeline with start date, run duration, and whether it's still active
• Direct link to the original Meta Ad Library listing

Every saved ad goes straight into your personal ad library where you can organize them into folders, tag them, and share collections with your team or clients. Even people without an AdLibrary account can view shared folders.

Why Every Ad Library Needs an AI Marketing Tool Layer

If you've done any real competitor ad research, you know how annoying this is: you see a great ad on Instagram, screenshot it, then spend 10 minutes trying to find it in Meta's Ad Library to get spend and audience data. Half the time the ad library search gives you the wrong results anyway.

The Chrome Extension fixes that. One click gets you the creative and the data together. No lost references, no broken screenshots, no manual lookups. That's the AI marketing tool layer that native ad libraries are missing.

This is huge for building a swipe file. Instead of a messy folder of screenshots with zero context, you end up with a structured ad library of high-engagement ad creatives that actually have performance data attached. That's what helps you build better campaigns.

What the Free Ad Library Extension Includes

The Chrome Extension works without a paid AdLibrary subscription. On the free plan you can:

• Save unlimited ads from Instagram and Facebook to your personal ad library
• View and organize saved ads with folders and tags
• Create folders and share them with others (shared folders update live)
• Access the full creative, caption, and advertiser information

With an AdLibrary subscription, you unlock the full AI marketing tool capabilities. That means in-panel search across our ad library of over 1 billion ads, AI-powered creative analysis that breaks down hooks, angles, and audience insights from any saved ad, and access to the complete ad library feature set across all platforms.

Supported Ad Formats in the Ad Library Extension

The extension works with every ad format on Instagram and Facebook:

• Image ads
• Video ads (saved with audio)
• Carousel ads
• Story ads
• Ads in any language: German, English, Spanish, French, and more

Who This AI Marketing Tool Is Built For

• Media buyers using the ad library to analyze competitor strategy and spend patterns

• Brand managers monitoring competitor ad activity across every ad library in real time
• Agencies researching ad trends and building client-ready reports
• Anyone studying what makes Facebook ads perform

Part of the AdLibrary AI Marketing Tool

The Chrome Extension is one piece of the full AdLibrary platform. AdLibrary is the first AI marketing tool that combines ad search across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest, AdMob, and Unity in a single ad library. The extension focuses on capturing ads from your social feeds. The main platform lets you search over 1 billion ads across all major platforms with advanced filters and AI enrichment.

You can also try our free AI marketing tools without a subscription.

Right now the ad library extension works on Instagram and Facebook. We're planning to expand it to every major advertising platform, including TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter (X), Pinterest, and Snapchat. The goal is simple: save and analyze ads from any platform directly in your browser, just like you can already search them all in the main ad library. We're building the AI marketing tool that makes every ad library on the internet accessible from one place.
