Save the page while you’re still online. On a computer, use the browser’s Save page option to create a local file; on a phone or tablet, use the browser’s offline download or Reading List, or save a PDF if you need a fixed document. The right method depends on your device, browser, and whether the page needs to remain interactive.
Choose the format that fits what you need
- Local webpage file: Best when you want a copy you can open in a desktop browser. Chrome and Firefox document saving webpages to your computer. Page behavior or externally hosted content may not be included.
- Reading List or browser download: Convenient on mobile, where the item stays managed in the browser. The available features vary by browser and platform.
- PDF: Useful when you want a fixed, portable document. A PDF may not preserve interactive page behavior.
None of these methods is documented as saving an entire website. They are for keeping an individual page available.
