What is Site Snatcher?
Site Snatcher is a Windows software application designed for downloading entire websites or sections of websites for offline use, archiving, or migrating to another platform. It provides an easy interface for customizing what gets downloaded from a website.
Once installed, the user enters a website URL and configures settings like limiting page depth, which file types to download, filtering out certain paths or file types, etc. Site Snatcher then crawls the entire website based on the provided settings and downloads HTML pages, images, CSS files, JavaScript, and other assets to your local drive.
Downloaded websites can be browsed offline using the built-in browser within Site Snatcher. The software maintains the original website structure and links for easy navigation. Users can also access all files through Windows Explorer.
Key features include:
- Downloads complete HTML websites for offline browsing and archiving
- Customizable settings to fine-tune which pages/assets get downloaded
- Maintains original website structure and links when browsing offline
- Scheduled downloading based on intervals
- Browser add-on to simplify website capture
- Full reporting around download status, errors, etc.
Site Snatcher saves time by automating the process of pulling down websites, while giving full control over what gets downloaded. It's useful for web developers, researchers, marketers, and anyone needing an offline, up-to-date copy of a website.
