What is Archivarix?
Archivarix is a free opensource CMS combined with an online website downloader and a wayback rebuilder. With our
system you can
restore
any website from The Wayback Machine (web.archive.org) exactly like it was. Or you can
download an existing
website and get it
in a zip file. When scraping process will be completed you will get a fully workable copy of restored/downloaded
site with Archivarix CMS, so you can easily modify and operate it.
Restore
from
Wayback Machine
Restore a website that previously existed and was crawled by Wayback Machine. We process all restored data to
provide a final ready-to-upload website with a lot of additional improvements, code fixes, ads removal, images
optimizations etc.
Download
a live website
Download or convert any existing website to make it secure, optimized and editable through our CMS. You can also
download websites with expired domain but working hosting.
Edit
and manage
websites
We've created Archivarix CMS for a convenient way to edit restored or downloaded websites. Single file to
upload, no installation required.

2020.01.23 Another mega-update of Archivarix CMS!
Added very useful tools that allow the click of a button:
- clean all broken internal links,
- delete missing images,
- set rel = "nofollow" for all external links.
Now additional restores can be imported directly from the CMS itself. You can combine different restores into one
working site.
For those who work with large sites or use poor hosting - all actions that previously could stop at the timeout
of your hosting will now be divided into parts and automatically continue until they are completed. Want to make a
replacement in the code of 500 thousand files? Import several gigabyte recovery? All this is now possible on any,
even very cheap hosting. The timeout time (by default, 30 seconds) can be changed in the ACMS_TIMEOUT
parameter.
Our loader (index.php) now works on both http and https protocols, regardless of the build parameters. You can
force the protocol by changing the value of the ARCHIVARIX_PROTOCOL parameter.
2020.01.07 The next update of Archivarix CMS with the addition of new features. Now any old site
can be correctly converted to UTF-8 with the click of a button. Search filtering has become even better, because
results can be also filtered by MIME type.
2019.12.20 We have released the long-awaited Archivarix CMS update. In the new version, in addition
to various improvements and optimizations, a very useful feature has been added for additional filtering of search
results and full support for the tree structure of URLs for recoveries with a large number of files. For more
details, see the
Archivarix CMS script change
log.
2019.11.27 Our WordPress plugin
Archivarix External Images Importer has
been released. The plugin imports images from third-party
websites, links to which are located in posts and pages, into the WordPress gallery. If the picture is currently not
available or deleted, the plugin downloads a copy of it from the Web Archive.
2019.11.20 We have added a new section of our site -

2019.10.02 Recently our system has been updated and now we have two new options:
- You can download Darknet .onion sites. Just enter .onion website address in the "Domain" field
here and our
system will download it
from the Tor network just like a regular website.
- Content extractor. Archivarix can not only download existing sites or restore them from the Web Archive but
can also extract content from them. In the "Advanced options" field you need to select "Extract structured
content". After that you will recieve a complete archive of the entire site, and an archive of articles in xml,
csv, wxr and json formats. When creating an archive of articles our parser takes into account only meaningful
content excluding duplicate articles, elements of design, menus, ads and other unwanted elements.
