AdScan - Chrome Extension

AdScan is a Chrome extension built for marketers, media buyers, and anyone who studies online advertising. It helps you collect, transcribe, and evaluate ads you see while browsing—so you can move from “that ad looked good” to a clearer understanding of why it works.

With AdScan, you can save ads from Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube in a click and keep them organized for later review. When an ad includes audio or spoken content, AdScan generates instant transcriptions so you can scan the message quickly, pull hooks and claims, and search through the wording without replaying the video repeatedly.

AdScan also adds AI-powered analysis to help you break down what you’re seeing. It highlights potential strengths and weaknesses in the creative—such as the hook, structure, offer clarity, pacing, and messaging—so you can compare ads more systematically and extract reusable patterns for your own campaigns.

For performance context, AdScan provides ad spend and impression data where available. This includes spend and impression insights for Facebook ads in the EU, and also supports spend/performance-related data for YouTube and TikTok where accessible.

If you use Foreplay.co for ad research, AdScan can integrate directly with it—making it easier to analyze and review Facebook ads inside your existing workflow.

Overall, AdScan turns ad browsing into a repeatable research process: save what matters, transcribe what’s said, and use AI guidance to understand what’s working and what to test next. more
