About Offline Explorer
Offline Explorer downloads single web pages or entire websites so that you can browse them offline and keep them as an archive. It can extract only the file types you want, which helps when you are collecting data in bulk.
MetaProducts sells several editions: Offline Explorer, Offline Explorer Pro, Offline Explorer Enterprise and Portable Offline Browser. The Pro and Enterprise editions are aimed at large-scale archiving, data mining and digital forensic work. Version 8.8 SR2 was released in September 2026.
