Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

To archive a webpage in Microsoft Edge, install SingleFileZ from a supported extension store, open the page, wait for it to load, then select the SingleFileZ toolbar button. It saves a self-extracting HTML file that is also a ZIP archive containing page resources. Edge Add-ons availability for SingleFileZ was not confirmed, so check the store before installing.

Install SingleFileZ in Edge

  1. In Edge, open Extensions beside the address bar and select Get Extensions for Microsoft Edge.

Save a webpage as a SingleFileZ archive

  1. Open the page you want to keep in Edge and wait for it to finish loading. If the page loads content as you scroll, visit the relevant sections before saving.

  2. Select the SingleFileZ button in Edge’s toolbar to start saving the current page. If the extension button is not visible, open the Extensions menu and select it there; you can also use Edge’s extension controls to show the button on the toolbar.

    Seagate Portable 5TB External Hard Drive HDD – USB 3.0 for PC, Mac, PS4, & Xbox - 1-Year Rescue Service (STGX5000400), Black

    • To get set up, connect the portable hard drive to a computer for automatic recognition software required
    • This USB drive provides plug and play simplicity with the included 18 inch USB 3.0 cable
    • The available storage capacity may vary.
  3. When the download finishes, keep the resulting HTML file. SingleFileZ describes this output as a self-extracting HTML file that is also a valid ZIP archive, with page resources in its ZIP structure. You can open the HTML file as a saved page or extract the archive structure with a ZIP utility. See the SingleFileZ project.

What the saved file preserves—and what it may not

SingleFileZ can package resources such as images, fonts, stylesheets and frames into one file. It is a snapshot, not a guarantee that every site will be captured completely or retain all of its original behavior. A page may rely on scripts, live services or content that the extension cannot access.

Privacy and keeping a dependable copy

The SingleFileZ FAQ states that “SingleFileZ does not upload any data to third-party servers” and says processing takes place in the browser. That is the project’s statement, not an independent privacy audit. Because the extension may fetch page resources that are present but not displayed or cached, review its permissions and the project’s FAQ if you need to understand its behavior for sensitive pages.

After downloading, open the archive to confirm that the important text and images are present. If the page matters, keep a separate backup of the file; no special storage device is required to save or open it.

Troubleshoot an incomplete or missing archive

  • The page cannot be captured: some pages are blocked from extension access for security reasons. Try a regular accessible webpage to distinguish a page restriction from a general extension issue.

  • The saved file does not display as expected: enable JavaScript in the browser used to open it and consult the FAQ for that browser’s local-file restrictions.

    Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.
  • Installation is unavailable in Edge Add-ons: check whether a suitable Chrome Web Store listing exists and use Microsoft’s documented cross-store method if it does. Avoid unpacked sideloading unless you are following Microsoft’s developer/testing process.

Or skip the browser setup

If you need a screenshot rather than a local webpage archive, ScreenshotNeo can return a PNG, JPEG, WebP or PDF from one API request. A screenshot is not a self-contained HTML archive: it gives you a visual capture, not a page you can reopen as a locally saved webpage.

For an API key, see the ScreenshotNeo documentation. This cURL example requests a WebP screenshot of the page:
