Yeah that'd be a great tool to have. I'm not familiar with FB's API offerings but after a quick search it looks like you might be able to build a bridge for Business/Creator accounts for continuous use but seems FB locks down a lot of the normie user data. I think you'd have to make the user do a data backup then import that backup zip to a conversion site to generate the posts from old data. Seems feasible though!

Oh how i wish i were a dev 😭🙃 Hopefully somebody find the utility worth the hassle at some point. I’m sure it might help people migrate away from insta if they can take their baggage with them :) Thanks for looking into it anyway :)

No, screw asking for permission. I think it's possible to find media URLs and save them like indown.io does. Otherwise, look into Apify to use an Instagram scraper. Are you down to build something like this?

I have to admit it wasnt front of mind for me but I can see the value to hopefully bring more creators over. If no one else builds it and I hear many people requesting I'd definitely be down to give it a look though.
