Is there any way I can hide my Ad creative from M Ads Library?

No, you can’t completely hide your ad creatives from the Meta Ads Library Meta made it public for transparency. But there are a few tricks advertisers use to limit exposure:
-
Use Restricted Geo-Targeting → Run your ads only in specific regions or countries; people outside won’t see them in the library unless they select that region.
-
Dark Posts (Unpublished Page Posts) → These ads don’t appear on your page feed, but they’ll still show in the Ads Library, just harder to find.
-
Rotate Creatives Frequently → Changing ad copies, creatives, and IDs makes it harder for others to track your winning creatives.
You can’t fully hide them, but you can make them less noticeable.

As far as I know there’s no way to completely hide ads from the Meta Ads Library it’s designed for transparency. The only thing you can really control is how much detail shows by the way you set up your campaign (for example, testing different creatives under dark posts or targeting variations). But they’ll still appear in the library if they’re running.

No, you can’t completely hide your ads from the Meta Ads Library.
The Ads Library is designed for transparency, so every active ad on Facebook and Instagram must appear there. The only things you can control are:
Targeting: You can refine your audience so fewer irrelevant people see it in their feed, but it will still show in the Library.
Creative variations: You can run multiple creatives and test different versions, but all will still appear.
Dark posts (unpublished posts): Even those appear in the Library once promoted.
In short: there’s no official way to hide ads from the Library — Meta made it mandatory to prevent misleading or hidden ads.
No you can’t fully hide your ads from Meta Ads Library. Facebook makes all active ads public for transparency. Viewers can see your creative, copy, and placements but not your targeting. To reduce exposure, rotate creatives often, run campaigns from different Pages if relevant, and use dynamic creatives so elements shuffle. Focus on your offers and funnel since those can’t be easily copied even if your ads are visible

Meta’s Ad Library can’t be bypassed; it’s built into their transparency rules.
Anyone promising a workaround is either not being real or putting the account at risk.
The best move is to look at alternatives like influencer whitelisting, native posts, or building owned channels (email, SMS, communities) if the goal is to keep creatives from being so exposed.
You can’t fully hide ads from Meta’s Ads Library, since transparency is mandatory. The only way to manage visibility is by testing creatives on separate accounts or pages, using dark posts, and scaling proven ads on your main brand. This won’t bypass the library, but it helps limit exposure of test campaigns.
Exactly Meta’s Ad Library is non negotiable and any promised ‘workarounds’ are a red flag. The safest, most effective strategy is to focus on channels you control (email, SMS, communities) and tactics like influencer whitelisting or native posts to maintain some creative exclusivity while staying compliant
