Retired ad tools, and what to use instead

MagicBrief

Closed July 31, 2026

An ad inspiration library and creative analytics for Meta and TikTok ads, with boards and a Chrome extension.

What happened

MagicBrief shut down at 8 PM EST on July 31, 2026, and its team built Canva Grow at Canva. Its home page still carries the notice: "After that date, the platform will no longer be accessible." Sources: MagicBrief's closing notice; its FAQ.

AdParlor's Ad Mockup Generator

Closed, date not announced

A free tool that previewed an ad as it would appear on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest.

What happened

AdParlor relaunched as Trevant, a creator marketing agency, on June 2, 2026. No notice dates the mockup tool's end, and none of its addresses work now. Source: Fluent's press release, June 2, 2026.

The old address now

  • adparlor.com/ad-mockups redirects to trevant.com/ad-mockups, a 404
  • admocks.adparlor.com doesn't answer; the host no longer resolves

Meta's Text Overlay Tool

Closed September 2020

Meta's checker for the old rule that limited text to 20% of an ad image, scored on a 5×5 grid.

What happened

Facebook stopped limiting text in ad images and removed the tool, as Social Media Today reported on September 22, 2020. Meta's help center now says: "There is no longer a limit on the amount of text that can exist in your ad image. The text overlay tool is no longer available." That page carries no date. Sources: Social Media Today, September 22, 2020; Meta's best practices for image ads.

Moat (Oracle)

Closed September 30, 2024

Oracle's ad measurement business; moat.com's free advertiser pages showed the display ads a brand was running.

What happened

Oracle ended all Oracle Advertising products and support on September 30, 2024. Its end-of-life FAQ lists Moat Analytics and Moat Reach and doesn't name the ad search on its own. Source: Oracle's end-of-life FAQ, June 17, 2024 (hosted by Adweek).

Closed July 1, 2021

Meta's free analytics for what people did across a business's Facebook Page, website and app.

What happened

Meta says "The standalone Facebook Analytics tool is no longer available as of July 1, 2021," and points to Meta Business Suite, Ads Manager and Events Manager. Source: Meta's help page.

The old address now
