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.
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.
