HOW IT WORKS
Enter one or more URLs in the input field. Use multiple URLs to cover different sections of a documentation site.
Start with 50-100 pages. Large documentation sites can have thousands of pages, so setting a limit prevents excessive saves.
Watch progress in real-time. Close the popup if you want—saving continues in the background while you browse.
Go to the Jobs tab, click a job, and export as Markdown, plain text, or ZIP archive. Copy to clipboard or download files.
FEATURES
Enter a URL and Webscribe automatically discovers and saves all linked pages. Works in the background—close the popup and it keeps working.
