How It Works

Four simple steps to preserve the early web for future generations.

STEP 01

Enter Your Target

Provide any URL, domain, or search query. Our system handles everything from single pages to entire site crawls.

$ archive capture https://geocities-area.example.com/~user
[✓] Target identified: GeoCities personal page (1996)
[✓] Scanning for embedded resources...
STEP 02

Crawl & Capture

Our engine fetches every element — HTML, CSS, images, JavaScript, and media — exactly as the original server served them.

$ crawl --full --resources=all
[✓] 23 HTML pages captured
[✓] 89 images, 12 GIF animations restored
[✓] MIDI soundtrack preserved
STEP 03

Render & Verify

Pages are rendered in a period-accurate browser engine. Every pixel, font, and layout is preserved authentically.

$ render --era="netscape-4" --verify
[✓] Rendering engine: Netscape 4.0 compatible
[✓] Table layouts: intact
[✓] Framesets preserved perfectly
STEP 04

Archive & Export

Saved with cryptographic timestamps. Export as WARC, HTML bundle, or access via our public API.

$ export --format=warc --sign
[✓] WARC file generated: 14.2MB
[✓] SHA-256 hash: a3f8b2...
[✓] Cryptographically signed
