SingleFile

SingleFile is a WebExtension compatible with Chrome, Firefox (Desktop and Mobile), Opera, and Edge that helps you to save a complete web page into a single HTML file.

Demo

Install

• Firefox Add-ons: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/single-file
• Chrome Web Store: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/mpiodijhokgodhhofbcjdecpffjipkle
• Edge, Opera: The extension is not on the store yet, you must download the zip file (https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile/archive/master.zip) and install it manually

Instructions

• wait until the page is fully loaded: you may need to scroll down the entire page to be sure all elements are loaded
• click on the SingleFile button in the extension toolbar to save the page

General notes

• right-click on the SingleFile button and select "Options"/"Manage extension" to open the options page
• to save multiple tabs, select them first and click on the SingleFile button
• use the context menu to save a tab, all tabs, selected tabs, selected content, or frame content
• saved files are compatible with all modern browsers without installing any extension
• SingleFile uses "data URI" scheme to embed resources into the page: the resulting format is not compatible with MHT/MHTML.
