It’s quite often you want to save a webpage in Chrome for offline reading purposes. But you can’t be sure that you will be online all the time, and you might want to read it later. So let us see why and how to save a webpage in Chrome.
While saving a WebPage, you will observe only two page types: WebPage HTML and WebPage complete.
WebPage HTML – This file type will save the content only in the HTML format; it won’t be able to save the images and some dynamic formats of the WebPage.
WebPage Complete – This file type does the job well, and you can save the web archive file for offline reading as it saves the whole WebPage, but it creates a folder as well along with the web page. And the folder will be containing all the individual images, CSS, JavaScript, etc., and it won’t work if you delete or remove that folder.
This is where the MHTML file type comes into the picture, as it creates a single file along with all the images for use offline. Isn’t it cool, you will have the same kind of reading experience offline as well.

Step 3. Once found, click on Enable if it is disabled.
Now, you are done with it, and the option will be enabled. You need to restart Google Chrome now to make changes to take effect.
Open Google Chrome and the WebPage that you want to save.
Step 1. Click on the three dots in the top right corner of Chrome and navigate towards the More tools – Save Page As
A window will prompt asking to save the WebPage.
