Everything a Media Buyer Needs
Five focused tools that make the Meta Ad Library actually useful for serious research.
Days Running Badge — On Every Ad
The most valuable signal in the Meta Ad Library is how long an ad has been live. Ads still running after 30, 60, or 90+ days are generating results — otherwise the advertiser would have stopped spending. Ad Lens shows the exact days running count on every card automatically, so you can spot proven winners at a glance without doing any date math.
Filter by Run Duration
Show only ads that have been running 3+, 7+, 10+, or 30+ days. Skip the fresh tests — focus on creatives that have proven themselves with real spend.
Filter by Media Type
Narrow results to Images, Videos, Memes, Images + Memes, or text-only ads in one click. See exactly the creative format you need without scrolling past irrelevant results.
Download Video Creatives
One click saves any video ad directly to your Downloads folder. No new tab opens, no right-click needed — the file arrives on your device immediately.
Copy Image Creatives
Copy any image ad to your clipboard in one click. Paste it straight into Figma, Notion, Slack, or Google Docs without saving a file.
Always Shows Active Ads
The Active Ads filter is permanently locked on. You only ever see ads that are running right now — never expired campaigns from months ago.

No sign-up, no setup, no configuration. Install and it works immediately.

If an ad has been running for 30 days, someone is profiting from it. Ad Lens tells me that in one second instead of me doing the math on every single card. It’s the first thing I check now before analyzing any creative.
