Share a saved copy of a web page as a link
Save the page as one HTML file with the SingleFile extension, upload it, and send the link. The copy opens in any browser and stays as it was when you saved it.
Sometimes the live page is the wrong thing to send: it will change, it sits behind a login, or you want someone to see exactly what you saw on a given day. A saved copy fixes that, but a saved page is awkward to pass on. Email clients and chat apps tend to download HTML attachments instead of opening them, as why HTML files do not open from email explains.
Uploading the saved copy and sending a link avoids that. The recipient clicks it and the page opens in their browser.
Save the page as one file
The browser's own Save Page As gives you an HTML file plus a folder of images and styles, or an .mhtml archive. The first breaks when the folder is left behind; the second is not an HTML page. One self-contained .html file is easier to share.
SingleFile, a free browser extension for Chrome, Edge and Firefox, does this. Open the page, wait for it to finish loading, scroll so lazy-loaded images appear, and click the SingleFile button. It saves one .html file with images, fonts and styles embedded in it.
- ✓By default SingleFile leaves out the page's scripts, so the copy is a still snapshot. Menus and carousels that need JavaScript will not open.
- ✓Pages you can only see while signed in are saved as you see them. Check the copy for account details before you share it.
- ✓For a page you built yourself rather than one you saved, making an HTML file self-contained covers the same idea from the source side.
Upload it and send the link
Drag the .html file onto the FileShare Pro dashboard and copy the link. It opens in any browser, on desktop or phone, and viewers need no account.
Embedded images make these files larger than the original page. The free plan accepts files up to 100 MB each, which covers most saved pages.
Shared pages carry a noindex tag, so a saved copy of a client's draft or an internal tool does not appear in search results: sharing a preview without Google finding it. On Pro you can add a password: password-protecting an HTML page.
Collect notes on the copy
Turn on comments and reviewers can leave a note on the page after typing a name, which suits design reviews of a competitor page or a before-and-after of your own site. The view count shows whether the people you sent it to have opened it.
To replace the snapshot with a newer one, save the page again and upload it over the old file. The link stays the same: updating a shared link without changing it.
Frequently asked
Save it as one HTML file with the SingleFile browser extension, upload the file to a host that serves HTML as a web page, and send that link. The copy does not change when the original does.
It saves either an HTML file plus a separate folder, which breaks when the folder is missing, or an .mhtml archive. SingleFile puts everything in one .html file.
Links to other pages work and open the live site. Anything that needs the page's JavaScript, such as menus or forms, usually does not, because SingleFile removes scripts by default.
No. Pages shared from FileShare Pro carry a noindex tag.
Yes. The free plan hosts up to 50 files of up to 100 MB each, with view counts and comments included.
