Meta doesn't offer a
2			download button, but you can grab any image or video in a few steps using your browser's
3			developer tools. If you're also looking for the <a href="/article/best-facebook-ad-spy-tools">best Facebook ad spy tools</a> to speed up competitor
4			research, bookmark those guides too.</p> <h2>Step 1 &mdash; Open the Meta Ad Library and launch DevTools</h2> <p>Go to the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Meta Ad Library</a> and search for the brand or keyword you're interested in. Once the results load, open your browser's
5			developer tools:</p> <ul><li><strong>Windows / Linux:</strong> <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>I</kbd></li> <li><strong>Mac:</strong> <kbd>Cmd</kbd> + <kbd>Option</kbd> + <kbd>I</kbd></li></ul> <p>This opens the Elements inspector panel on the right side of the screen.</p> <figure><img src="/articles/how-to-download-fb-meta-ads-step1.png" alt="Meta Ad Library with browser developer tools open showing the Elements panel" class="rounded-xl border border-base-300 shadow-lg" loading="lazy"/> <figcaption>Open DevTools while browsing the Meta Ad Library</figcaption></figure> <h2>Step 2 &mdash; Inspect the ad creative and copy its URL</h2> <p>In the DevTools panel, click the <strong>pointer/inspect icon</strong> (top-left of the panel).
6			Then hover over the ad creative (image or video) you want to download. The inspector will highlight
7			the DOM element and jump to its source in the Elements tab.</p> <p>Look for the <code>src</code> attribute on the <code>&lt;img&gt;</code> or <code>&lt;video&gt;</code> element. Right-click the URL and choose <strong>"Open in new tab"</strong> to load the raw media
8			file.</p> <figure><img src="/articles/how-to-download-fb-meta-ads-step-2.png" alt="Using the inspect pointer to hover over an ad video and find its source URL in the DOM" class="rounded-xl border border-base-300 shadow-lg" loading="lazy"/> <figcaption>Hover on the creative, then copy the media link from the Elements panel</figcaption></figure> <h2>Step 3 &mdash; Download the file</h2> <p>Once the image or video is open in its own tab, right-click it (or click the <strong>three-dots menu</strong> on a video player) and select <strong>Download</strong>. The
9			file will save to your default downloads folder.</p> <figure><img src="/articles/how-to-download-fb-meta-ads-step-3.png" alt="Video open in a new tab with the three-dots menu showing the Download option" class="rounded-xl border border-base-300 shadow-lg" loading="lazy"/> <figcaption>Click the three-dots icon and select Download</figcaption></figure> <h2>Step 4 &mdash; Make this workflow repeatable (the easy way)</h2> <p>The manual inspect-and-download flow works, but it's slow and tedious, especially if you're
10			saving dozens of ads for competitor research or creative briefs. Every ad requires opening
11			DevTools, hunting through the DOM, and hoping the URL doesn't expire, this manual approach
12			doesn't scale. If you want to find winning ads consistently, you need a repeatable system, not
13			a one-off hack.</p> <figure><img src="/articles/save-facebook-ads-on-spreshapp.png" alt="Comparison of traditional ad saving methods (folders, Google Drive, Excel, Slack) versus Spreshapp which offers all ads in one place, folders and tags, no dead links, notes and hook analysis, team sharing, and brand tracking" class="rounded-xl border border-base-300 shadow-lg" loading="lazy"/> <figcaption>Traditional ad saving vs. Spreshapp, one tool instead of many</figcaption></figure> <p><strong>Spreshapp</strong> eliminates all of that.
