Everything you need to know about FbZip2Blue

A web platform to import Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads) and X (Twitter) archive ZIP files, 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.

Yes. The date from the export is saved in the .fbzpkg and shown in the Timestamp column on Post Review. Publishing sends that same date to Bluesky as the post date. Bluesky may still order the profile by when it received the post. If the export has no date, the app uses the time the archive was parsed. Check Timestamp and leave those unpublished if that matters. A package saved earlier can still show that parse time until you open the export again.

Post Review has no separate date-repair tool. To show the date in the wording, edit Text on the row, or Post text in Preview, before you publish.

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.
