WEBARCHIVE is Safari web browser’s native format for saving web pages. The files contain HTML code, images, CSS, JavaScripts, and other resources to display the pages properly offline. WEBARCHIVE files can be used in both Windows and Mac OS. The format allows complete web pages to be saved for offline viewing.
To open a WEBARCHIVE file, you primarily need the Safari web browser. You can also open them in the iCab and Cruz web browsers. If you do not have access to a web browser, you can open the file in Apple TextEdit or any text editor. Keep in mind images and other binary content may not display properly.
The WEBARCHIVE extension is most commonly used by the Safari browser. When you save a web page for offline viewing, Safari stores all data associated with the page (HTML, CSS, images, JavaScript, etc.) into a .WEBARCHIVE file. This ensures all page elements are available without an internet connection.
Although workarounds allow WEBARCHIVE files to be viewed in other browsers, specific webpage content may hinder this. Converting requires free tools like WebArchive Folderizer or WebArchive Extractor.
