Move from MagicBrief to Klipio

Straight answer: Klipio can't import your MagicBrief library — and it doesn't need to. Because Klipio reads the public Meta Ad Library directly, you just re-add the competitors you care about and get their current live ads fresh. Here's the whole move, step by step.

The honest part first

No import — and that's a good thing

A lot of “migration” pitches promise a one-click import. We won't, because it isn't true: Klipio does not read your MagicBrief data. Instead it reads the public Meta Ad Library live. So rather than carrying over a snapshot that's already going stale, you re-add the brands you watch and Klipio pulls their currently-running ads — a fresher starting point than any export. Your MagicBrief export stays yours as an archive; keep it, but you won't need to upload it anywhere.

Step by step

Moving your competitor research in five steps

Export your MagicBrief reports first

Before 31 July 2026 (8 PM EST), export anything you want to keep out of MagicBrief — boards, briefs, saved ads. MagicBrief has said data cannot be recovered after it closes, so this is the one time-sensitive step. Keep the export as your archive; Klipio does not read it.

Start a Klipio trial

Sign up at klipio.io — every plan begins with a 3-day free trial (card required, cancel anytime). You do not need to connect a Meta ad account to research competitors; Klipio reads the public Meta Ad Library.

Let Nucleus learn your brand

Add your website. Nucleus reads it to build a confirmed model of your brand — what you sell, your voice, your prices, your claims — so any creative Klipio generates later is product-accurate rather than generic.

Re-add the competitors you care about

Type in the same brands you watched in MagicBrief. Because Klipio reads the public Meta Ad Library live, there is nothing to import — it pulls each competitor's currently-running ads fresh, so your watchlist is up to date from minute one, not a snapshot from an old export.

Review what's winning and generate on-brand creative

Klipio surfaces the recurring hooks, offers and formats across your rivals with provenance — how long an ad has run, how many rivals use the angle — as evidence, never an invented performance score. Pick an angle and Alchemy turns it into a finished on-brand static ad built on your Nucleus, which a human approves before anything runs.

Questions

Migrating from MagicBrief — FAQ

Can Klipio import my MagicBrief boards and briefs?

No — we won't pretend otherwise. Klipio cannot import MagicBrief data. But because Klipio reads the public Meta Ad Library directly, you don't need to: re-add the competitors you care about and Klipio pulls their current live ads fresh, which is more up to date than an old export anyway.

When do I need to do this by?

MagicBrief closes 31 July 2026 at 8 PM EST, and says data can't be recovered afterward. Export your MagicBrief reports before that date. You can set up Klipio any time — there's no deadline on that side.

Is this the same as moving to Canva Grow?

No. Canva Grow is MagicBrief's official successor and the natural path if your team lives in Canva (MagicBrief customers get 6 months free on Canva Business). Klipio is an independent alternative focused on one loop: watch competitors' live Meta ads, spot the winning angle, and generate on-brand creative. Many teams use whichever fits the job they care about most.

How much does Klipio cost after the trial?

Every plan starts with a 3-day free trial. After that it's $79 Pro, $199 Agency or $399 Scale per month. Everything runs on credits — you spend them generating creative; browsing competitors and reading their ads is free, and top-ups never expire.

Do I lose my research history by not importing?

Your MagicBrief export stays yours as an archive. In Klipio your history rebuilds from live data: as you re-add competitors and generate creative, Klipio keeps a compounding board of the angles that keep showing up — grounded in current ads, not a frozen snapshot.
