1

Tell us your site

Paste your Archive.org URL, or just give us your domain and we’ll find the best available snapshot on the Wayback Machine ourselves. You don’t need to know how to search Archive.org manually.

• ✓ Works with any Wayback Machine snapshot URL
• ✓ We locate the most complete snapshot if you’re unsure which to use

2

We crawl and restore

Our crawler walks every page of your archived site the way a visitor would, following internal links to discover the full structure. For each page, it downloads the HTML along with every CSS file, JavaScript file, image, and web font the page actually depends on.

• ✓ Breadth-first crawl discovers linked pages automatically
• ✓ Assets are matched to their original archived snapshot date
• ✓ Internal links are rewritten so the restored site works offline or on any host

3

You download or deploy

Once the crawl finishes, everything is packaged into a single ZIP file and emailed to you as a download link. Free restores return a preview of up to 5 pages. Paid restores return the complete site.

• ✓ ZIP includes HTML, CSS, JS, images, and fonts
• ✓ Download link stays active for 24 to 48 hours depending on your plan

4

Back online

Upload the ZIP contents to any web host, or hand it to a developer to deploy. Because internal links are already fixed, the site opens and navigates correctly in any browser without further editing.

• ✓ No proprietary format, it’s standard HTML, CSS and JS
• ✓ Works with any hosting provider

CDX snapshot lookup

We query Archive.org’s CDX index to find the closest available snapshot for every asset, even when a CSS or JS file wasn’t captured on the exact same date as the page.

Link rewriting

Every internal link in the HTML and CSS is rewritten from an Archive.org URL to a relative local path, so the downloaded site behaves like the original.

Asset verification

Downloaded files are checked to confirm they’re real assets and not broken or redirected pages, so your ZIP doesn’t end up with corrupted files.

Free

The exact same crawl and rebuild process runs, but stops automatically after 5 pages. This is enough to see real results and judge coverage before paying anything.

Basic and Pro

The crawl continues to your full site, up to 500 pages on Basic or 5,000 pages on Pro, with the same link fixing and asset handling applied throughout. See full plan details and pricing.

Small sites

Under 5 pages, typical for the free plan

What if a page was never archived on the Wayback Machine?

We only restore pages that Archive.org actually captured. If a page was never crawled, it won’t appear in your results, but we still recover everything that was archived, and the coverage summary shows exactly what was found.

Do I need any technical skills to use this?

No. You paste an Archive.org URL and your email, and the tool handles crawling, downloading assets, and fixing links automatically. No command line, no software installation.

What exactly is inside the ZIP file?

Every restored HTML page, plus the CSS stylesheets, JavaScript files, images, and fonts each page depends on, with internal links rewritten so the site works when opened locally or uploaded to any host.

How long does a restore actually take?

Small sites under 5 pages typically finish in a few minutes. Larger paid restores of hundreds or thousands of pages usually complete within 48 hours.

Can I restore just part of a website instead of the whole thing?

The free plan naturally limits you to 5 pages, which works well if you only need a few key pages. For a full site, the Basic or Pro plans cover up to 500 or 5,000 pages.
