Meta Pixel Inspector

Debug Meta (Facebook) Pixel events in a clean sidebar interface with validation

See what Meta sees. Fix what Meta doesn't. What it does Meta Pixel Inspector is a Chrome extension that monitors and validates Meta (Facebook) Pixel events in real-time. It runs in a sidebar panel so you can browse normally while watching every event fire — no login required, no popups that disappear when you click away. Key Features Real-time event stream Every pixel event appears instantly in the sidebar as you browse. Events are displayed in a clean, scannable list with clear visual hierarchy — event name, pixel ID, and timestamp at a glance. Smart validation The extension understands Meta's e-commerce event requirements and validates each event accordingly: Flags missing required parameters (e.g. no content_ids or contents on a Purchase) Detects empty fields that exist but aren't populating — a common tagging bug Validates data types (value should be a number, not a string) Checks currency codes against ISO 4217 standards Catches duplicate events firing within 500ms Event-aware checking Validation adapts to each event type. For example, quantity is expected in the contents array for AddToCart and Purchase, but not flagged as missing on ViewContent. content_type can be product_group on ViewContent but should be product from AddToCart onwards. Clear issue hierarchy Problems are categorised so you know what matters: Errors (red) — Required parameters missing, will impact tracking Warnings (yellow) — Data format issues, duplicates, empty fields Recommendations (purple) — Optional parameters that would improve tracking, with explanations of why they help (e.g. "value — Required for ROAS tracking and conversion value optimisation") Multi-pixel support Sites often have multiple pixels (agency + client, or test + production). Every event shows which pixel ID fired it, and you can filter by pixel ID to focus on just one. No login required Unlike Meta's official Pixel Helper (which now requires authentication), this works immediately for anyone — freelancers checking client sites, agencies running audits, developers debugging implementations. Copy & share One-click copy of any event as JSON for support tickets, documentation, or sharing with developers. Who it's for Digital marketers validating their tracking setup GTM specialists debugging pixel implementations Agencies auditing client sites without needing account access Developers checking their e-commerce integration sends the right data Anyone who needs to see what's actually being sent to Meta
