Download ads from Meta's Ad Library in one click

A Chrome extension that puts a “⬇ Vídeo” or “⬇ Imagen” button on top of every ad in Meta's Ad Library. From its icon, you can download every loaded ad at once. Great for saving references of ads that work.

⚠ Read this first

Before you download it

  • It's not on the Chrome Web Store: you install it by hand in 2 minutes (steps below). Chrome will remind you that you're using a “developer mode” extension; that's normal.
  • Works in Chrome and Chrome-based browsers (Brave, Edge, Arc). Desktop only.
  • No accounts or keys and nothing is sent to Blackdark: it only acts on facebook.com/ads/library and only downloads from Meta's servers.
  • Ads belong to their advertisers. Use them as references or to study privately; don't republish them as your own.

Free

Free. The extension needs no accounts or keys and sends no data. We email it to you (20 KB ZIP).

How to install and use it

  1. 1

    Unzip the file

    You get a “blackdark-extension” folder. Keep it somewhere safe: Chrome uses it.

  2. 2

    Open Chrome's extensions page

    Type this in the address bar and press Enter.

    chrome://extensions
  3. 3

    Turn on “Developer mode”

    It's the switch at the top right.

  4. 4

    Click “Load unpacked”

    Pick the “blackdark-extension” folder. The spy icon will appear in your extensions (pin it to keep it handy).

  5. 5

    Go to the Ad Library

    Open facebook.com/ads/library and search for a brand. Every ad gets its ⬇ button. To grab them all, scroll down and click the extension icon.

FAQ

Nothing. It's free and uses no paid service.

In your Downloads folder, inside “blackdark-ads”, with the ad ID in the file name (e.g. 1234567890-video.mp4).

For now we share it as a downloadable project, so it installs in “developer mode”. The code is right there in the ZIP.

It only has permission to download files and read the Ad Library page. No sign-in, it doesn't read your other tabs and sends no data anywhere.

No. Only Chrome and Chrome-based browsers (Brave, Edge, Arc).

Wait for the video or image to load, or reload the page. If Meta changes its site it may stop working until we update it.
