How to Save Web Pages in Google Chrome

As you browse the internet in the Google Chrome web browser, you may run across a web page you want to save for future reference, or you may want to study the way a page is coded and implemented.

Here's a look at how to save web pages in Chrome. Depending on how the page is designed, this may include all corresponding code as well as image files.

How to Save a Web Page in Chrome

Chrome makes it easy to save a web page.

1. Go to a web page in Chrome that you want to save.

2. Select Chrome's Menu button (three vertical dots).

   

3. When the dropdown menu appears, hover your pointer over the More tools option to open a submenu, and then select Save Page As.

   

4. A Save File dialog box will appear.

   Its appearance varies depending on your operating system.

5. Next to Save As, change the web page's name if you don't want to use the one that appears in the name field.

6. Select where you want to save the web page and its accompanying files, and then select Save.

   

7. If you navigate to the folder where you saved the file, you'll see an HTML file of the web page and, in many cases, an accompanying folder that contains code, plug-ins, and other resources used in the creation of the web page.
