How to save a web page that requires a login
Online tools can't see pages behind your login. Here is how to keep a full copy of a dashboard, a course page or a members-only article, straight from your own browser.
Online “website downloaders” work from their own servers. When a page needs your username and password – a course platform, a dashboard, a members-only article, an intranet – they only see the login screen.
The fix is to save the page from your own browser, where you are already logged in.
Step by step
- Log in as usual and open the page you want to keep.
- Scroll to the bottom once, so everything that loads late appears.
- Click the PagePack icon › Save this page as ZIP.
PagePack reads what your browser already loaded, so it works on any page you can see. Your password is never involved and nothing is uploaded: the ZIP is built on your computer.
Make it open without internet
A saved page may still point to the live site for some files. Tick Make the copy work offline (Pro – 5 free saves to try) and PagePack rewrites the links to the saved files and adds an index.html you open with a double-click.
Things to keep in mind
- Pages that build their content while you click (chat apps, editors) are saved as they look at that moment.
- Videos streamed in small pieces can't be saved as one file.
- Only save content you are allowed to keep, and respect the terms of the service.
PagePack saves every file of a page – or all its images – into one ZIP with the original folders. Free, private, one click.
