PostSnag works in any Chromium browser that supports Chrome Web Store extensions, like Edge, Brave, and Arc. It doesn't work in Firefox or Safari.

Does PostSnag work in Edge, Brave, Arc, and other browsers?

The PostSnag icon opens the panel only on a signed-in Facebook tab. Anywhere else, or while signed out, it opens a small popup instead.

Why does the PostSnag icon open a small popup instead of the panel?

Roadmap

Real workflows for competitor research, swipe files, creator vetting, and agency audits.

Use Cases & Playbooks

Capture their profile, sort by Most reactions, check Analytics, and export to see what's actually working for a competitor.

How do I analyze a competitor's Facebook profile?

Capture profiles worth learning from, bookmark the standout posts, and organize them into Folders you can open when you plan content.

How do I build a Facebook swipe file?

Agencies capture a client and competitors, export clean sorted data instead of screenshots, and run it on one Pro or Lifetime seat.

How do agencies use PostSnag for client research?

Use Analytics, Post types, Engagement composition, and Posts by day, to find which format and day actually earn engagement.

How do I find the post types and posting days that work?

Quick fixes for capture counts, missing posts, sign-in, and anything that looks off.

Troubleshooting

The toolbar popup and the on-page panel are two separate windows sharing one PostSnag sign-in, and they usually sync within a moment of each other.

Why am I asked to sign in twice?

Scrolling back over posts you've already passed can make the Collected count pause briefly. PostSnag won't count the same post twice.

Why does the Collected count change when I scroll back up?

A connection error after exporting usually means your network is blocking postsnag.com, not that your capture failed. Your data stays saved either way.

Why do I get a connection error when I export?

Email support@postsnag.com for anything this help center doesn't answer. You'll usually get a reply within one business day.

How do I contact PostSnag support?

The panel can briefly hold a previous profile's details, and your dashboard only updates when you export again. Both are expected behavior.

Why does my dashboard data look out of date after switching profiles?

No. PostSnag reads posts that are already loading on the page as you scroll, instead of running separate background processes of its own.

Does PostSnag slow down Facebook or my browser?

A post published moments before you scan can still be settling into Facebook's feed, so it may not appear until you capture and export it again.

Why does my export seem to be missing the most recent post?

The earliest post on a profile can be missed on a first pass since it may load before PostSnag finishes starting up on that page. Here's why, and how to catch it.

Why does the first post on a profile seem to be missing?

Media loads into Facebook's page separately from post text, often more slowly, so an image or video thumbnail can be missed on a fast scroll.

Why didn't photos, albums, or video thumbnails capture?

Yes. PostSnag captures posts by their structure, post type, media, and engagement numbers, not by the language they're written in.

Does PostSnag work on non-English Facebook?

PostSnag can only capture posts that have actually loaded on your screen, so an unloaded page, a signed-out tab, or an unsupported section can show zero posts collected.

Why is nothing getting captured on a profile?

The Free plan saves up to 30 posts per profile per scan. Everything captured stays saved locally, and upgrading brings in the rest without a rescan.

Why were only 30 posts saved for a profile? (Free plan)

PostSnag counts what it actually captures from your screen as you scroll, so panel, dashboard, and Facebook totals can differ slightly. That's expected.

Why do post counts look different across the panel, dashboard, and Facebook?

Shared posts, tagged posts, and Group context can attribute a captured post to a profile you did not expect. Here is why, and how to fix it.

Why do posts show up under a different profile than expected?

PostSnag reads a profile's name and picture from the page as it captures, so a loading page or a recent photo change can briefly show the wrong one.

Why does a profile's name or picture look wrong?

PostSnag renews your sign-in automatically in the background. When that fails, it signs you out cleanly instead of leaving your session half-working.

Why was I signed out unexpectedly?

Your plan is confirmed by your account and read fresh by the extension each time it opens, so a short delay right after upgrading is expected.

I upgraded but still see free-plan limits. What do I do?

PostSnag affiliate program FAQ

How PostSnag captures data safely, what it never touches, and why your Facebook account stays safe.

Privacy, Security & Trust

No. PostSnag is an independent tool built by TokTools, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Meta Platforms, Inc.

Is PostSnag affiliated with Facebook or Meta?

PostSnag reads only public content already visible to you, client-side and read-only, but it can't speak for Facebook's own policies.

Is using PostSnag against Facebook's rules?

No. PostSnag is read-only and never interacts with a profile, so capturing or analyzing it leaves nothing for the owner to see.

Can someone tell if I captured or analyzed their profile?

No. PostSnag does not sell your data; it works with a small set of named providers to run the service, not to resell your information.

Does PostSnag sell my data?

PostSnag keeps your data while your account is active. Delete a profile or your account anytime; public Discovery data may persist.

How long does PostSnag keep my data?

No. PostSnag never logs in, posts, or acts on your behalf, and nothing runs in the background; it only reads posts you scroll past yourself.

Is PostSnag a bot? Does it automate Facebook?

Public post data captured by any PostSnag user can power the community Discovery feed; your account details and private saves are never part of it.

How does the shared Discovery dataset work?

PostSnag collects your account email, login method, and plan status, plus standard server logs; it never sees your Facebook password or card number.

What data does PostSnag collect about me?

PostSnag captures public post text, type, media, engagement, and author details; it never captures private posts, Messenger, Stories, or live video.

What Facebook data does PostSnag capture, and what does it never capture?

Your PostSnag data lives in PostSnag's own database on Contabo. A short, named list of providers handles billing, sign-in, email, and delivery.

Where is my data stored, and who does PostSnag work with?

The original creators own the posts you capture with PostSnag. Using or republishing that content is your own responsibility.

Who owns the posts I capture, and can I use them?

PostSnag requests only the browser permissions it needs to read Facebook pages you open and save your captures; it never touches other browsing.

Why does PostSnag ask for the permissions it does?

PostSnag is read-only and runs in your own Facebook session, so it behaves like normal browsing rather than the automation Facebook's systems flag.

Plans, Pricing & Billing

PostSnag uses Lemon Squeezy for all billing. Pro renews automatically every month until you cancel; Lifetime is a single payment that never renews.

Posts you've already captured stay in your PostSnag account after you downgrade or cancel. Free limits apply to new activity going forward.

What's included in the Free plan?

Export any profile to Markdown or CSV and let ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini find the patterns.

Exporting & AI

Export a profile to Markdown or CSV, then paste or upload the file into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini to find patterns and build a content plan.

How do I analyze Facebook posts with ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini?

Open a profile in your PostSnag dashboard, click Export, and choose Markdown or CSV to download the posts currently filtered and visible.

How do I export a profile to a Markdown or CSV file?

Export formats are the same on every plan. What changes is how many posts you have to export, since Free caps captures at 30 posts per profile.

How does exporting work on the Free vs paid plans?

Use CSV for spreadsheets and sorting, use Markdown for reading and pasting into an AI assistant. Both formats cover the exact same posts.

Markdown or CSV: which export should I use?

A complete tour of the PostSnag dashboard: the top bar, every item in the left navigation, Settings, and how a new account gets guided to its first capture.

What's in the PostSnag dashboard? (Overview)

Discovery is PostSnag's shared feed of standout posts from every profile the community tracks, sorted by Recent or Trending, shown to every account.

What is the Discovery feed?

Folders are named collections, up to 10 per account, for grouping captured posts by project, client, or topic.

How do I organize captured posts into Folders?

An outlier is a post that performs far above a profile's normal numbers. PostSnag surfaces standouts in Discovery, the panel, and Analytics; 'top 1%' is shorthand, not a per-post calculation.

What is an outlier post, and what does 'top 1%' mean?

Open a captured profile to filter by post type, search captions, choose Sources and a date range, and sort by engagement or Facebook's own order.

How do I filter, search, and sort a profile's posts?

Open Profiles in the left navigation to search, sort, and manage every profile, Page, and creator you've captured, with a card you can bookmark or delete.

How do I find and manage captured profiles in the Profiles library?

How do I try the dashboard with sample data?
