FAQ

Are the exported PDFs searchable?

Yes. Text in a Web Snapper PDF stays selectable and searchable in any language — Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, and everything else. Links remain clickable, and your highlights export as native, editable PDF annotations.

Does redaction really remove the content?

Yes. When you redact text, it's truly removed from the DOM — not just hidden behind a blur or black box that could leak in the export. You can black out or mosaic text and images, or delete elements entirely, and the result is baked into every export format.

Can I open a saved page offline?

Yes. The single-file HTML snapshot is fully self-contained: images, styles, and fonts are inlined into one file. You can open it years later, offline, without the original site.

Does Web Snapper upload my pages or track me?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser. There's no data collection, no analytics, no advertising, and no account. Web Snapper makes no background network requests. See Privacy & Permissions for the full picture.

Where do my captures go, and how do I find them again?

Generated files (PNG, PDF, HTML, Markdown) save to your Downloads folder. On top of that, every capture is indexed locally in a history archive with a thumbnail and full-text search, so you can find anything instantly later. That archive lives only on your device and can be cleared anytime from the History page.

What permissions does it need?

Five: activeTab, scripting, downloads, storage, and unlimitedStorage. It declares no host permissions and only acts on a page when you click its icon. Each one is explained in Privacy & Permissions.

Can I capture a long page or an inner-scrolling panel?

Yes. Full-page capture grabs long, scrolling pages in one shot, automatically hiding sticky headers and floating bars so there's no ghosting or duplicated content. Inner-scroll capture handles content where the page body itself doesn't scroll — like long AI chat threads and app panels — capturing them in full.
