What you need
- A Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC (64-bit)
- WebCopier 1.4.0 from the download page
- A website URL you are allowed to copy
Step 1. Choose the website
Open the site in Chrome or Edge first. Confirm it is the public page you want on your PC. WebCopier copies what that browser can open.
Step 2. Paste the URL
Open WebCopier and paste the same address into the app.
Step 3. Start the capture
Start the job. WebCopier opens a real browser so the page can load the way you see it, including JavaScript.
Step 4. Let WebCopier discover and save the pages
Internal links and sitemaps feed more pages. Website files used by those pages are written into the local project. How much of the site you get follows your plan. The free plan saves one complete page.
Step 5. Open the local project
When the job finishes, open the project from WebCopier. The copy lives on your Windows PC.
Step 6. Browse the saved website
Walk the pages you downloaded. You now have a local copy of the site. If a page looks empty, see why a captured page can be blank.
