  • Builds an organised, searchable archive rather than loose files
  • Annotations and highlights are stored with the capture
  • One self-contained HTML file per page, with assets embedded as data URLs
  • Renders exactly as it did online with no network connection
  • Full features need the companion backend server running
  • Setup is more involved than a one-click page saver
  • Files get large because every asset is embedded and base64-encoded
  • Pages that build themselves with JavaScript after load may not capture properly
