Frequently asked questions
Will the CSS styling be included from an HTML-only save?+
An HTML-only save does not include external stylesheets. For a fully-styled save, use 'Save As > Webpage, Complete' which includes the linked CSS and images.
What if the page uses web fonts from Google Fonts?+
Locally-saved complete pages include font files. HTML-only saves may render with fallback fonts.
Is this suitable for legal web evidence archiving?+
For legal purposes, use a dedicated web archiving tool that timestamps and certifies the capture. This tool produces a functional working copy.
