How to save a webpage as HTML.
Browser print-to-PDF flattens the page and breaks links. Saving the raw source leaves a folder of loose files that rot. The clean way is one self-contained HTML file with text, images and styles packed inside.
Three steps
1. Open the webpage in Chrome.
2. Click Save in the Website Copier extension.
3. Keep the downloaded file. Double-click opens it in any browser, with no connection.
Why one file beats a folder
A single file moves, backs up and syncs like any document. Images are inlined, so nothing 404s months later. Links to other saved pages keep working when you save a whole website for offline use.
Chrome options compared
Chrome can save pages itself, but the output scatters assets across folders and hotlinks images. Website Copier exists to fix exactly that: press Save, get one file, done. See also how to download a webpage in Chrome. New here? Start at the Website Copier Chrome extension page, or browse the FAQ.
