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.

Additional notes

• Right-click on the SingleFile button and select "Options" 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, a selected content, or a frame content

More info

See the extension help in options page for more detailed information about the options, and technical notes.

Known Issues

• All browsers:
  • After installing the extension, if you want to save a tab that was already opened then you need to refresh it first.
  • For security reasons, you cannot save pages hosted on https://chrome.google.com or https://addons.mozilla.org.
• Chrome/Opera:
  • You must enable the option "Allow access to file URLs" in the extension page to display the infobar when viewing a saved page, or to save a page stored on the filesystem.
  • If saved pages have file names like "4e5a13fd-6638-4a37-a34b-a3c104ac66" instead of the title then it means another extension is conflicting with SingleFile. You can uncheck the option "save pages in background" to circumvent this issue.
• Firefox:
  • You cannot save selected tabs via the context menu since multiple tabs cannot be selected.
• Edge:
  • The file name looks like "4e5a13fd-6638-4a37-a34b-a3c104ac66".

Troubleshooting unknown issues

Please follow these steps if you find an unknown issue:

• Reset SingleFile options.
• If resetting options did not fix the issue, try to disable all other extensions to see if there is a conflict.
• If there is a conflict then try to determine against which extension(s).
• Please report the issue with a short description describing how to reproduce the issue, Browser version, OS name and version here: https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile/issues.
