Save web pages as self-extracting HTML/ZIP files from the CLI

Web Extension to save a faithful copy of an entire web page in a self-extracting ZIP file - SingleFileZ/cli at master · gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ

Save web pages as self-extracting HTML/ZIP files from the CLI launched on November 26, 2020 with 16 votes, #912 of 3,461 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 5 years on.

In plain words

This command-line tool saves web pages as self-contained files that can be either self-extracting HTML or ZIP archives. Designed for developers and technical users who need to preserve complete web pages with all assets included, it automates the process of capturing pages from the command line rather than through a browser interface. The tool packages everything needed to view the page offline into a single executable file.
