## What it is
Conifer is an open-source web archiving platform for capturing, replaying, and sharing collections of archived web pages through a user-friendly interface. It is the software behind the hosted conifer.rhizome.org service and can also be self-hosted via Docker.

## Use cases
- archive web pages for later reference
- capture websites as WARC files
- replay archived web pages offline
- self-host a personal web archiving service
- share public or private web archive collections
- create high-fidelity ISO-compliant web archives

## When to choose
- you need to capture and revisit web pages with a friendly UI
- you want standards-compliant WARC archives you can download and keep
- you want to self-host a web archiving service with Docker
- you need public or private sharing of archived collections

## When to avoid
- you only need simple URL snapshots without replay fidelity
- you want a lightweight CLI-only archiving tool
- you need large-scale automated crawling at industrial scale
