Download Depth Options

Choose how much of a website to download:

HTML Only vs. Full Site with Assets

By default, downloads include HTML files only (no images, CSS, or JavaScript). This is:

• ✅ Much faster (10-100x quicker)
• ✅ Smaller file sizes
• ✅ Great for content extraction, SEO analysis, or text backup

Pro and Agency users can check “Include images, CSS & JavaScript” to get a complete mirror suitable for offline viewing.

Download Limits

Your plan determines how many downloads you can have saved at a time:

• Free: 1 saved download
• Pro: 10 saved downloads
• Agency: 100 saved downloads

You can also have a maximum of 3 active downloads (queued or running) at any time. Wait for one to complete before starting another.
