WebCopier review
A focused Windows tool for offline copies of mostly static websites, not full restoration.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
WebCopier is a Windows 10/11 desktop application for capturing public website frontends and saving them as local projects. It is aimed at developers, designers, agencies, QA teams, researchers, and website owners who need offline copies of mostly static websites. The capture process can include browser-rendered pages, HTML, CSS, images, fonts, client scripts, and pages discovered through internal links or sitemaps. Saved projects can be browsed offline in WebCopier, Chrome, or Edge.
Pricing is split between one-time plans and recurring options. The Free Trial costs $0 and includes one complete web page clone, offline media and styles, and the Windows desktop app. Starter costs $10 one time for two complete website clones and permanent offline browsing on PC. Pack costs $29 one time for six full multi-page clones, offline assets, CSS and scripts, and a local preview server. Pro costs $39 per month for 15 complete sites per month, a priority clone queue, engine updates, and commercial client usage. Business costs $129 per month for 50 full sites per month with deep crawling, parallel asset crawling, and priority support. Annual plans include Yearly Pro at $290 per year and Yearly Business at $990 per year.
Its strongest fit is browser-based frontend capture rather than conventional website backup. Projects remain stored locally on the user's PC, and a post-capture report identifies saved and unsaved content. The preview server and offline browsing options are useful for reviewing captured sites without an internet connection. However, WebCopier does not extract server-side applications, databases, or administration systems, and it does not provide restoration or hosted backup storage. Choose it for local copies of public frontends; choose another product when database protection, centralized backup storage, or full website recovery is required.
