FAQ
Is it free?
Yes. The Meta Ad Library Ads Downloader is completely free to use. It’s built by HookAds, the free ad creative hub.
What can I download?
Any public ad shown in the Meta (Facebook and Instagram) Ad Library — both video and image ads — in their original quality.
Is downloading Ad Library ads allowed?
The Meta Ad Library is a public transparency tool. Use downloaded ads for research, inspiration, and competitive analysis — not to copy creative or infringe anyone’s trademarks or copyright.
Will it support other platforms?
Yes — support for downloading ads from X (Twitter) and other places is on the roadmap. This page will update as new sources go live.
Do I need a HookAds account?
No. The extension works on its own. But a free HookAds account gets you thousands of AI ad prompts, teardowns, and swipe files to pair with the ads you download.
Ads are only half the job
Download the ad, then build a better one. HookAds is the free hub for AI ad prompts, teardowns, and hooks.
