Wayback Machine

Wayback Machine adds a share extension for submitting web pages to the Internet Archive and sharing the resulting snapshot link.

Our take

Choose it to save a public page while browsing rather than copying its URL manually.

The extension starts the archive request from Safari or another compatible share sheet.

Keep in mind: A snapshot depends on what the archive can fetch; private, blocked and dynamic pages may not capture fully.

What you can do

  • Share a page to request a snapshot
  • Open the resulting archive link
  • Share the archived URL

Good for

  • Someone who wants to reference a public page as it appeared at a point in time.

Consider alternatives for

  • Someone who needs private backup or guaranteed capture of authenticated content.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 12.0.
  • A snapshot depends on what the archive can fetch; private, blocked and dynamic pages may not capture fully.

Privacy & permissions

The page URL is sent to the Internet Archive, and saved snapshots can be public.
