User reviews

SingleFileZ is widely appreciated for its ability to save complete web pages into a single compressed HTML file, preserving formatting and enabling easy archiving. Users find it customizable and effective even on pages where similar extensions fail. However, common issues include saved files defaulting to incorrect extensions, requiring manual changes, and difficulties opening saved pages without specific permissions or the extension installed. There are also occasional compatibility problems with Windows file preview features. Despite these, the extension is regarded as a powerful and useful tool for daily web page archiving.
Pros
  • Effectively archives entire web pages as a single HTML file, preserving layout, images, fonts, styles, and formatting.
  • Highly customizable with powerful features allowing modification of saved pages.
  • Able to save selected parts of a page and works better than similar extensions on some pages.
  • Files created are smaller due to internal compression, making storage efficient.
  • Generally praised for reliability and ease of use, praised across multiple languages and users.
Cons
  • Saved files often have random or incorrect extensions (such as .txt) requiring manual renaming to .html.
  • Issues opening saved files without having the extension installed and permissions like 'Allow access to file URLs'.
  • Incompatibility with Windows Preview Pane, causing Explorer to freeze unless preview handlers are disabled.
  • Limited ability to save multiple tabs at once, which some users expect.
  • Some users experience initial failures or issues viewing saved pages in web page editors (e.g., blank pages).
