Meta Pixel Helper

Overview

The Pixel Helper is a Chrome Browser extension that runs in the background to automatically reviews websites for Meta Pixel code.

When the extension is installed, the icon below (the Pixel Helper icon) will appear in the upper right corner of the browser next to the address bar.

When a website has a Meta Pixel installed, a small badge appears containing a dot or a number indicating the number of Pixel events fired on the current webpage. If the icon does not have a badge on it, no Meta Pixels are installed on the webpage. Click the Pixel Helper icon and a small popup appears with information you can use to verify, troubleshoot, and improve the Pixel.
