Facebook archive to Bluesky: step-by-step
Moving from Facebook to Bluesky works best when you review before you publish. FbZip2Blue is a browser-based workflow: upload your Meta export ZIP, parse posts and media, edit in a table, then publish to Bluesky with a paid license. No desktop app to install.
Overview
1. Export
Download your Facebook information ZIP from Meta.
2. Upload + parse
Chunked upload; background parse job.
3. Review
Edit, filter, bulk hashtags, preview.
4. Publish
Bluesky app password; dry run first.
Prerequisites
- Facebook export ZIP — see how to download your Facebook export
- FbZip2Blue account (sign in at /webv/)
- Bluesky App Password (Settings → App passwords) if you will publish
- Modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari)
Step 1 — Create a session and upload
- Go to /webv/ and sign in.
- On Import & review, click Create upload session.
- Optional: set session name, workflow status, and notes, then Save session info (paid plans).
- Choose files → select your Facebook ZIP(s) → Upload selected ZIP files.
- Wait for the progress bar to finish (large files use chunked upload).
Step 2 — Parse the archive
- Click Queue parse job.
- Use Refresh job or Wait until complete.
- When finished, note posts / images / videos detected.
- If a job is already running, the app returns that job instead of starting a duplicate—wait for it to finish.
Step 3 — Review on Parsed posts
Open Parsed posts from the sidebar or Saved sessions.
- Use paging and Included only to focus on what you will publish.
- Edit text, hashtags, and group selector per row.
- Toggle Include in upload for each post.
- Use bulk hashtags and bulk include/exclude for many rows at once (paid).
- Free plan: parse and preview up to 10 posts included—see in-app banner for exact limits.
Step 4 — Publish to Bluesky (paid)
- On Parsed posts, find the Bluesky card.
- Enter handle and App Password (not your main Bluesky password).
- Enable Dry run and publish one test post—read the log.
- Choose Long post publish mode if posts exceed ~300 graphemes (Auto, Article + link, Thread split, or Short only).
- Disable dry run when ready; use single-row Publish or Bulk publish.
- Support chat (paid users) is available inside /webv/ for migration questions—do not paste your ZIP into chat.
