Web page downloader for Chrome
Save what you are reading, with the stylesheets, scripts, images and fonts it depends on, into a single archive that still looks right after you unzip it a year from now.
.zip; most pages are done before you have finished reading this sentence.Why Ctrl+S keeps letting you down.
Chrome's own Save Page As has been quietly failing on modern pages for years.
"Webpage, Complete" drops an HTML file and a folder of assets next to it. On a 2009 site that worked. On anything built this decade, here is what tends to survive the trip:
- Backgrounds declared in CSS (hero images, gradients over photos, icon sprites) live inside stylesheets rather than in the HTML, and often go missing.
- Responsive images with a
srcsetof five sizes save whichever variant the browser happened to pick, or none of them. - Lazy-loaded images below the fold were never requested, so there is nothing to save. You get a page of empty rectangles.
- Webfonts fall back to Times New Roman and the layout shifts by a hundred pixels.
Site Downloader reads the document after the browser has rendered it, collects the assets that resolved, and rewrites every reference to a local path. The unzipped copy is the real thing, not a wireframe of it.
Three clicks, one file.
Open it in a tab
Any normal http:// or https:// address. The toolbar icon lights up when the tab can be saved.
Leave it on Single
Single mode is the default. Multi-page is there when you want the section around it.
Download
Your browser fetches and packs the assets locally. The .zip lands in your Downloads folder.
What ends up inside the archive.
Unzip it and the HTML sits at the top level with its assets beside it. Open that HTML in any browser, including one that has not shipped yet, and it renders from local files. Nothing phones home, nothing expires.
Because it is plain HTML and CSS on disk, the archive is also grep-able, diff-able and easy to feed to whatever tool you use next. A .zip of real files ages better than a proprietary single-file format that needs its own viewer.
Questions people ask.
How do I save a web page as HTML?
Open it, click the Site Downloader icon, press download. You get a .zip containing the HTML and every asset it references, with paths rewritten to load locally.
Is this different from printing the page to PDF?
Completely. A PDF is a flat picture of the layout: no links through to local copies, no selectable structure, no CSS. This webpage downloader keeps the thing working as a document.
Does the saved page work offline?
That is the whole point. Everything the page needs to render sits inside the archive, so an unzipped copy opens with no network at all.
Can it save a page that needs me to be logged in?
No. Assets are fetched without your cookies, so the extension only ever retrieves what a logged-out visitor can see. It is a deliberate privacy choice, and it does mean paywalled and account-only pages are out of reach.
Can I download several pages at once?
Yes. Switch the popup to Multi-page and set a link depth. That is covered on the entire website downloader page.
Can I download web page files without the images?
No. The archive takes everything the document loaded, and there is no asset filter. Delete what you do not want after unzipping.
Which browsers does it work in?
Chrome, and the Chromium browsers that install from the Chrome Web Store: Edge, Brave, Opera, Arc, Vivaldi.
