In this article for novice users, I will tell you how to save a page from the Internet to a computer, as well as the nuances associated with this process.

When you surf the Internet, you somehow come across useful articles that I would like to keep. Some people prefer to keep tabs open, some copy text manually, others use bookmarks. However, each of these methods has its disadvantages. Tabs and bookmarks will not help if the text of the article is corrected or if the web page is no longer on the site. When copying manually, there will always be problems with formatting, the appearance of “cracking marks” in documents and other troubles.

Note: By the way, in the PrintFriendly article on how to print a page from the Internet (on the website), a service is presented that allows you to print and generate a PDF file with the contents of an Internet page without unnecessary blocks (a very convenient thing).

In fact, everything is very simple. The fact is that almost any browser (including Opera, Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and others), it can do this by default. And here are the instructions:

1. Open the desired page in your browser or press the key combination “Ctrl + S” and go to step 4 of the instructions

2. Click right click mouse over an empty space on the desired web page

4. A window will open, as shown in the figure above, where you can select a location to save, specify a file name, and also select “File Type” (in fact, this is the format for saving information).

Let me focus a little on the latter. The fact is that every web page is an HTML document in which special form There is not only the text of the article, but also links to the necessary files with styles and scripts for the correct display of the web page. Accordingly, you can either save only the document by selecting “Web page, HTML only”, or save the document and all necessary files in a separate directory (by the way, the directory will be named exactly the same as the saved page and located in the same directory) , selecting "Complete web page".

Note: Depending on the browser, the names of the "File Types" list may vary, but they are quite similar.

5. Now, you only need to click the “Save” button, after which the page will be saved on your disk.

It is worth noting that the resulting file can be opened in any browser and the file will also be opened by double-clicking the mouse. In addition, if saved completely, the page will be displayed normally even without Internet access.

Almost any web browser provides this opportunity to the user. Users save pages so that they can later view them in offline mode (when there is no Internet connection). In this case, saving can be done in full or in html format, that is, with markup and structure. Then download it to a storage medium, transfer it to another computer and view it in any other browser.

Let's consider this procedure using the example of 4 popular browsers.
