About Site Downloader

A small, single-purpose Chrome extension: it saves websites to your disk. No account, no server, no second act.

What it is.

Site Downloader saves a web page, or a whole section of a site, as one .zip containing the HTML and every asset it references, with paths rewritten so the copy opens offline. It runs in Chrome and every Chromium browser that installs from the Chrome Web Store.

Version 2.1 added depth-controlled multi-page crawling, which is the feature people ask for most: instead of one page, follow internal links a chosen number of levels deep and pack the result together.

Why it exists.

Pages disappear. Documentation gets versioned away, a company rewrites its site, an article slips behind a paywall, a project's tutorial is deleted with the repository. The existing options were a desktop mirroring tool with a wizard, a terminal command, or a web service that wants your URL list. None of those is a reasonable answer to "I want to keep this page."

So the design goal was one click for the common case and one number for the harder one. Everything that could be a setting is a decision made in advance instead.

What it deliberately does not do.

  • It has no server. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to leak, no logs of what you archived. That also means no sync, no shareable links and no cloud history.
  • It does not use your cookies. Fetches omit credentials, so it cannot reach anything behind your login. That is a privacy decision with a real cost.
  • It does not track you. No analytics SDK is bundled in the extension and no identifier is assigned. This website uses Google Analytics; the extension itself does not.
  • It does not rebuild designs with AI. You get the site's real files, not a regenerated approximation.

Contact.

Bug reports, feature requests, and "it broke on this specific site" emails are all welcome. The last kind is the most useful, because a URL that fails is something that can be fixed.
