About WARCreate

WARCreate is a Google Chrome extension that allows a user to create a Web ARChive (WARC) file from any browsable web page. The resulting files can then be used with other tools like the Internet Archive's open source Wayback Machine. The tool is an evolving product with the end result pushing toward being a personal web archiving solution for those that wish to securely archive their metadata in a standardized way. RECENT VERSION HISTORY Version 0.2026.8.21 Updated to Manifest V3 and make the capture process more transparent Version 0.2021.6.28 Fixes an issue to capture URIs without relative indicators.
