Export Website Archiver to HTML

Websites don't last forever. The internet forgets faster than you'd think.

Studies show the average webpage lifespan is around 100 days before it changes or disappears. Link rot affects 38% of links in government webpages. That blog post, that portfolio piece, that article you bookmarked, might not be there tommorow.

Archiving creates permanent copies. HTML files that work offline, that don't depend on any server staying online, that you control completely.

When to archive:

Before a redesign. Launching a new version of your site? Archive the old one first. You might need those images, that copy, that exact layout reference. Screenshots aren't enough, an archive gives you the actual files.

When closing a business. The website might go offline but you might need records. Client projects, portfolio pieces, terms of service, archive everything before shutting down hosting.

Preserving competitors or inspiration. Found a design you love? A landing page with great copy? Archive it before it changes. Legal for personal reference; just don't republish others' content.

Historical documentation. Journalists, researchers, lawyers, sometimes you need to prove what a webpage said on a specific date. Archived HTML with a timestamp serves as evidence.

Platform migration. Moving from Wix to something else? Squarespace to WordPress? Archive your current site before making changes. If the migration goes sideways, you've got the original.

Our tool renders sites in a real browser and saves everything needed to display them. HTML files, CSS stylesheets, images, fonts. The complete package. Upload to any server and the archived site works.

The process takes about a minute. Enter a URL, we crawl linked pages automatically (up to 50), package everything into a ZIP. Download it, store it, you're done.

File sizes are reasonable. A typical 20-page site with images archives to 30-50MB. Small enough to email, store on any cloud service, keep multiple copies.

One thing to know: archived sites are snapshots. They won't receive updates from the original. Dynamic features, login systems, databases, forms, become non-functional. You're preserving the appearance and content, not the functionality.

For most archiving purposes, that's exactly right. You want what the site looked like and said, frozen in time.

The Wayback Machine does this too, but you don't control it. Their servers, their schedule, their retention policies. Archiving yourself means your files, your storage, your permanence.

Save websites before they change. Own the archive.
