Wayback Site Downloader

About

Recover entire websites archived on web.archive.org in one click. Wayback Site Downloader scans the Wayback Machine archive, finds every page and file of a site and downloads them, rebuilding the original folder and subfolder structure right inside your Downloads folder.

Perfect for recovering your old website, studying a domain's history, preserving content at risk of disappearing, or researching the web of the past.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Paste a Wayback Machine URL (e.g. https://web.archive.org/web/2008.../mysite.com) or simply a domain
2. Click "Scan site": the extension queries the archive and queues every unique file found
3. Click "Start download": files are saved to Downloads/sitename_date/ with the original folder tree

KEY FEATURES
✔ Full scan through the official archive.org CDX API (fast — no page-by-page crawling)
✔ Faithful reconstruction of the original site's folders and subfolders
✔ Snapshot selection: download the site as it was on a precise date, with no later versions
✔ Clean original files, without the Wayback toolbar
✔ Queue with pause, resume, cancel and retry for failed files
✔ Smart deduplication: merges http/https/www variants and ignores tracking parameters (utm_, fbclid…)
✔ Powerful filters: exclude extensions (exe, zip…), download only certain file types, limit size and count
✔ Optional subdomains, querystring exclusion, fast-scan mode for huge sites
✔ Configurable simultaneous downloads with anti-blocking delay and automatic backoff
✔ Real-time activity log and queue preview
✔ Side panel interface, handy and always visible
✔ Available in 8 languages: English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese

PRIVACY
No data collection: everything happens locally in your browser. The extension only communicates with web.archive.org to download the content you request.

FREE AND PRO VERSION
The free version lets you download up to 150 files per project. The PRO unlock code removes every limit
