Getting started with PagePocket

PagePocket saves full-fidelity copies of web pages to a private cloud library you can search and share. This guide takes you from install to your first saved page in a few minutes.

1. Install the extension

PagePocket ships as a Chrome extension. Install it from the Chrome Web Store by clicking Add to Chrome. After the first install the side panel opens automatically; from then on you can open it from the extension's icon in the toolbar.

The panel is where saves happen — it reads the page you have open and stages the capture before anything is stored.

2. Create your account

You need an account to use the cloud library. You can create one in either place — both are the same account:

• On the website at the registration page: email and password, no credit card.
• In the extension: open the side panel, tick PagePocket Cloud Storage, and use the Register tab.

The Free plan covers 50 page saves per rolling 30 days and 500 MB of storage, and includes search, collections, and share links. You can upgrade later — see Pricing for the exact limits.

3. Save your first page

1. Open any web page you want to keep.
2. Open the PagePocket side panel.
3. Make sure PagePocket Cloud Storage is ticked and you are signed in.
4. Click Start download.

The panel walks through the capture for you — scraping the page, uploading its resources, and assembling the copy in your library. When it reports Ready, the page is in your library.

Two practical tips learned the hard way:

• Keep the side panel open and stay on the tab while the save runs. Closing the panel or navigating away can abort the capture.
• Pages that load content as you scroll are captured by scrolling the page automatically, but very long pages can take a little while.

4. Find it in your library

Open the app and sign in — every saved page is there, listed with its title, the original URL, and the time you saved it. From the library you can:

• open the archived copy in the viewer,
• organise pages into collections,
• search the full text of everything you have saved,
• share any page with a link.

Download a saved page

Any page in your library can be downloaded as a ZIP:

1. Open the page in the viewer (or use the ⋯ menu on a dashboard card).
2. Click Download (or press d in the viewer).

You get a single .zip containing index.html and every asset, with the same relative paths the viewer uses — unzip it anywhere and index.html opens offline in your browser. Two things to know: the download is a static snapshot (scripts never run in archived pages, so they are not in the ZIP either), and downloading does not count against your monthly save quota — it is a plain read of your own archive.
