ArchiveBox is an open-source, self-hosted web archiving application that saves URLs, browser history, bookmarks, RSS feeds, and social media content as durable files (HTML, PDF, PNG, WARC, JSON, SQLite). It provides a CLI, web UI, REST API, webhooks, and a browser extension for capturing and browsing archived snapshots.
Use cases
- archive my bookmarks and browser history locally
- save offline copies of web pages before they disappear
- self-hosted alternative to the Wayback Machine
- back up videos and media from YouTube and social media
- preserve web evidence for legal or research purposes
- schedule recurring archiving of RSS feeds
- export browser bookmarks into a searchable archive
When to choose
- you want durable, open-format archives (HTML, WARC, PDF, SQLite) you fully control
- you need multiple capture types per URL: screenshots, rendered HTML, media, article text
- you want CLI, REST API, webhooks, and browser extension integrations
- you prefer self-hosting with Docker or pip on your own infrastructure
When to avoid
- you only need a hosted, zero-setup bookmarking service
- you need a fully managed cloud archive with no server maintenance
- you only want simple link saving without full-page captures
