Everything you need to know about FbZip2Blue

A web platform to import an official Facebook or X (Twitter) archive ZIP, then prepare content for Bluesky. It also builds searchable Messenger / WhatsApp chat archives from Facebook or WhatsApp exports.

A free desktop app and offline viewer for chat history. You pay once for the full converted archive (all conversations and media), not for the viewer. Build a preview or full ZIP at /webv/ or see the chat archive guide.

Publishing posts → Bluesky runs entirely in the browser — no install required. Optional free desktop apps (Windows or Linux): Chat Archive (download) for Messenger/WhatsApp offline viewing, and Posts Archive (download) for offline timeline browse after Download for desktop from Posts archive.

A free desktop app (Windows or Linux) to browse your Facebook timeline posts offline. Pick your OS on the downloads page. Open a package in Posts archive, click Download for desktop, then in the app use File → Open posts archive ZIP…. Languages: EN / FR / ES / PT. Export ZIP/HTML includes images; Copy pastes text + images; Email downloads a ZIP to attach. Sealed .fbzpkg files still open only in the browser — see the .fbzpkg guide.

Go to /webv/, sign in, open Import + Convert, choose your export ZIP, and click Upload export. Then choose Convert posts and/or Build chat archive ZIP from the same upload — no second upload needed.

Yes. Multi-GB files are uploaded in chunks.

Yes. After conversion, use Download .fbzpkg on Post Review for an encrypted copy sealed to this browser profile, then re-open it under My packages or browse in Download Tools → Posts Archive in the same browser. For a portable offline ZIP on Windows or Linux, use Download for desktop from Posts Archive, then install the app from the downloads page. Server copies are temporary — they may be purged after download or within 72 hours.

An encrypted package sealed to one browser profile (device-held keys). It holds parsed posts and media so you can resume in that same browser — not a portable file for another PC or browser. Use Download .fbzpkg after saving edits; open it from My packages in /webv/. See local conversion package guide.

No. The file only unlocks in the browser profile that downloaded it. Copying it to another machine, Chrome/Firefox/Edge profile, or phone will show a “different browser profile” error. Clearing site data for fbzip2blue.com also creates a new device key and blocks old packages. Keep working in the same browser, or re-download from an active server session if one is still available.

Yes — if you downloaded a .fbzpkg, keep that file and re-open it from My packages on the same browser profile. Temporary server staging is not the long-term store.

On Post Review, click Sign in with Bluesky when OAuth is enabled (recommended). That stores a short-lived session for publish without typing an app password. You can still use handle + app password as a fallback.

Not yet. Publishing today goes to Bluesky. Gander is shown as coming soon in the app until their ATProto OAuth is ready for third-party publish.

Yes, with a paid license. On Post Review, choose Long post publish mode: Auto (hosted article + Bluesky link when allowed, else thread), Article + link, Thread split on Bluesky only, or Short post only (you must shorten text).

For long posts, the full text can live on a page at fbzip2blue.com while Bluesky shows a short teaser and link card. The publish log lists the Article: URL after success.

Select rows on Post Review, then use Bulk text edit: find & replace, add to start, add to end, or remove text (optional case-sensitive find). Works on server sessions and local .fbzpkg packages.

Free — limited post preview and chat preview. Paid licences unlock full save/edit/publish, full chat download, and/or multi-account Bluesky (Standard, Agency, Chat Archive, Complete). Current plans and amounts: Pricing. Buy in /webv/pricing with the same email you use to sign in.

Yes — with a paid Bluesky licence (Standard, Agency, or Complete). In the free Chat Archive viewer, open a conversation and click Invite to Bluesky. Map archive names to @handles, then create a Bluesky group and/or send invite DMs. Private chat history is not republished. Chat Archive alone does not include invites — see the invite guide or Pricing for Complete (chats + invites + posts).

Meta’s export often omits conversations held in Secure Storage or end-to-end encrypted chats — that is an export limitation, not a FbZip billing issue. See the Secure Storage guide, then preview what is actually in the ZIP with free Chat Archive.

See parse troubleshooting. Do not email or chat your ZIP; use the job error text and conversion name.

Step-by-step articles live under /guides/, linked from Documentation — start with download your Facebook export, Facebook to Bluesky workflow, Messenger chat archive, or invite your group to Bluesky.

Sign in at /webv/ and open Feedback (beta). The product evolves quickly — we read every submission. For support (not research), use this FAQ, documentation, or contact email. Paid users can also use in-app support chat.
