SingleFileZ – Save a web page in a HTML file which is also a zip file

Web Extension to save a faithful copy of an entire web page in a self-extracting ZIP file - GitHub - gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ: Web Extension to save a faithful copy of an entire web page in a self-extracting ZIP file

SingleFileZ – Save a web page in a HTML file which is also a zip file launched on May 16, 2019 with 10 votes, #976 of 3,072 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 7 years on.

In plain words

SingleFileZ is a tool that saves web pages as single HTML files that function simultaneously as zip archives. Users can extract the zipped content to access all page resources, or open the HTML directly in a browser to view the saved page. Ideal for researchers, archivists, and anyone needing to preserve web content in a compact, portable format, it combines the convenience of a self-contained HTML file with the storage efficiency of a compressed archive.
