From Raw Return To Report In Three Minutes
Watch an Instagram and a Facebook return go from hundreds of raw pages to one timeline, linked accounts, and a printed report.
Captions are built into the video, so no sound is needed. All data shown is fictional.
Hours Of Scrolling, Turned Into A Clear Picture
Drop in the Instagram or Facebook return exactly as Meta provides it, .zip and all, and Plain View organizes it for you. Every view stays tied to the original records.
Instagram + Facebook
Load either return, or both. Messages from each platform merge into one timeline, labeled IG or FB.
Timeline
Every message and event in one ordered list, converted to the time zone you choose with daylight saving handled.
Conversations
Read each thread the way it happened, with clear sides for the target and each contact.
Lanes
See the target and top contacts side by side to spot who was talking to whom, and when.
Network
A link chart of every account pair, with optional sent-and-received counts in each direction.
Top Contacts
Instantly rank who the target communicated with most.
IP Addresses
Review login and IP activity in the same timeline as the messages.
Tagging & Keywords
Tag key messages, add notes, and auto-tag with your own keyword lists.
Reports & Exports
Print tagged messages for your case file, or export CSVs for further analysis.
From Return To Report In Three Steps
Load The Return
Drop in the Instagram or Facebook return (.zip) from your computer. Plain View reads it locally. Nothing is uploaded, and no internet connection is needed.
Review And Tag
Work through the timeline, conversations, and network. Tag key messages, add case events, and record identified names.
Print And Save
Print a clean report of your tagged evidence, export CSVs, and save a case file you can reopen any time.
Your Work Never Looks Like Meta's Records
When you identify who is behind an account, Plain View shows that name alongside the username. It never replaces the original record.
- The Meta account name always stays the primary field.
- Names you add are labeled "identified by investigator," along with how they were identified.
- Reports and exports separate the original records from investigator additions.
- Each copy is licensed to a named investigator. Their name and agency appear on every report.
Licensed Per Investigator
Each license is issued to a named user at your agency and can be activated on up to two computers. Updates are included while the license is active.

Built By A Working Detective
Plain View is made by Kilian Investigative Solutions LLC. It grew out of necessity, working real cases, where reading a Meta return line by line took hours that investigators don't have. Full forensic suites can do a lot, but they're expensive, often limited to a few licenses in a lab, and more than most detectives need just to read a warrant return. Plain View does one job well, at a price that puts it on every investigator's desk. The goal is simple: get from the return to the evidence that matters, faster, without ever compromising the record.
