How to use Meta Ads Downloader

In Meta Ad Library, open the specific ad and copy its link containing facebook.com/ads/library/?id= followed by the ad ID.
Paste the ad link here and confirm your rights to download and use the creative. Search-result links without an ad ID are not supported.
Select Fetch video. The preview shows available video media or, for an image-only ad, the still creative. Choose Download to save it.
For a video, choose Adapt it for my brand. Trim a 4-30 second section in Video Remix and add your own references and instructions.

Free downloads and usage limits

Fetching and downloading available ad media is free and uses no Retwist credits. Three guest imports are shared across both downloaders per browser and network. Sign in for more downloads, with hourly limits. AI editing in Video Remix requires a paid plan and credits.

Frequently asked questions

How do I download a Meta Ad Library video?

Open the specific ad, copy its link containing the ad ID, paste it here and select Fetch video after confirming permissions. If video media is available, preview it and choose Download.

Which Facebook ad link do I need?

Use an ad-specific facebook.com/ads/library/?id=... URL. A page, search, campaign-manager or Ad Library results URL without an ad ID is not enough to identify one creative.

Why does my ad show an image instead of a video?

The identified ad may contain only a still creative. This tool shows and downloads that image honestly; it does not turn it into a source video. Video Remix requires a video file.

Can I download every variation in a carousel or dynamic ad?

No. The tool imports one supported available creative for the supplied ad ID. It does not guarantee every placement, carousel card or dynamic variation.

Can I fetch inactive, removed or restricted ads?

Availability depends on the original platform and import response. Inactive, removed, region-restricted or otherwise unavailable creatives may not be retrievable.

Is the Meta Ads Downloader free without signing in?

The first three guest imports across Retwist download tools need no account. Then sign in for more free downloads. Shared-network allowance and hourly capacity limits still apply. Submitted requests can use allowance even if the source later fails. Videos are limited to 100 MB and still images to 10 MB.

How do I adapt an ad for my brand?

Fetch a video and choose Adapt it for my brand. The source opens in Video Remix without another import. Trim your range, upload brand or product references, describe changes and review the generation cost. Exact branding or preservation is not guaranteed.

May I use another advertiser's creative in my own ads?

Downloading alone gives no reuse rights. Confirm the necessary content, trademark, music and likeness permissions before editing or advertising with a creative. Retwist is not affiliated with Meta or Facebook.
