How to Save Webpages in Google Chrome

As you browse the internet in Chrome, you may run across a webpage you want to save for future reference, or you may want to study the way a page is coded and implemented. Google Chrome allows you to save webpages in just a few easy steps. Depending on how the page is designed, this may include all of the corresponding code as well as the image files.

How to Save a Webpage in Chrome

Go to a webpage in Chrome that you want to save.

Click on Chrome's main menu button located in the upper right corner of your browser window and represented by three vertically-aligned dots.
When the drop-down menu appears, hover your pointer over the More tools option to open a submenu.
Click on Save page as to open a standard save file dialog that overlays your browser window. Its appearance varies depending on your operating system.
Select the location on your drive or removable disk where you want to save the current webpage and any accompanying files. Click the appropriate button to complete the process. The files should now be saved to the location specified.

Open the folder where you saved the file. You should see an HTML file of the webpage and, in some cases, an accompanying folder that contains code, plug-ins and other resources used in the creation of the webpage.

Keyboard Shortcuts to Save a Webpage

You can also use a keyboard shortcut in place of the Chrome menu to save a webpage.

Depending on the platform, you may be able to specify "HTML only" or "Complete," which downloads the supporting files. If you have the Complete option, you may see more supporting files than are downloaded when you use the Menu button.

Click on the webpage you want to copy and use the appropriate keyboard shortcut:
