Is bulk uploading Facebook ads against Meta's terms?
No. Creating ads in bulk through Meta's Marketing API is an explicitly supported use of the platform, and it is the same interface Ads Manager itself is built on. What causes problems is not volume but policy: ads that break advertising standards, misleading landing pages, or automation that scrapes or interacts with Facebook in ways the terms prohibit. Bulk creation through an approved app with proper permissions is ordinary, sanctioned usage.

Why the API exists
Meta publishes and versions the Marketing API precisely so advertisers and tools can create campaigns, ad sets, ads and creatives programmatically. Rate limits and batch endpoints are documented parts of that design, which is a strong signal that volume itself is expected.
What does get accounts restricted
Policy violations in the ads themselves, destination pages that do not match the ad, repeated rejections, sudden unusual spend patterns on a new account, and payment or identity issues. None of these are caused by using a launcher; a launcher just makes whatever you were doing happen faster.
Staying clearly inside the lines
Use a tool that authenticates through official Meta OAuth with the permissions you granted, that creates ads paused by default so nothing spends before you approve it, and that keeps a record of exactly what was launched. Scraping the Ad Library or automating the Facebook web interface is a different activity with different terms.
This is general guidance, not legal advice, and Meta's policies change. Your account's own standing and the specific permissions your app was granted matter more than any general statement, so read Meta's current advertising policies and platform terms for your situation.
