## Install and make your first export

A practical path from the preview ZIP to a readable local file.

](/docs/getting-started/)[↗

## Saved history, previews and duplicate files

Know what was saved, what changed, and when another copy is intentional.

](/docs/export-history/)[↗

## How the free monthly allowance works

Free includes 50 source pages per UTC calendar month, measured locally in one browser installation.

](/docs/free-allowance/)[↗

## Create a local research packet

Combine selected sources into a Markdown evidence packet with an index and copyable analysis prompts.

](/docs/research-packets/)[↗

## Choose where exports are saved

Start with Downloads, then configure an optional local directory workflow.

](/docs/save-targets/)[↗

## Troubleshoot an export

Check the page, capture and destination separately before repeating a save.

](/docs/troubleshooting/)[↗

## JSON vs CSV vs Markdown: choose a web export format

Use JSON for nested records, CSV for spreadsheet comparisons, and Markdown for reading. Compare what each WebToSpark export preserves before saving.

](/docs/export-formats/)[↗

## What is a CSV file? Open web exports in Excel

A CSV file stores table records as text. Learn how to import WebToSpark CSV into Excel, select UTF-8, preserve identifiers and inspect comment rows.

](/docs/open-csv-in-excel/)[↗

## What is a JSON file? How to open and inspect web exports

JSON stores structured data as text. Open a local export in a text editor, inspect WebToSpark documents and nested comments, and choose when CSV is simpler.

[Get WebToSpark](/download/)

## Start with one page

WebToSpark 1.2.0 is a developer preview for Chrome 116 or newer. Install the unpacked extension, open a page, and export to Downloads. Node.js is not required for ordinary exports.

[Installation and first export ↗](/docs/getting-started/)

## Understand your files

Markdown is useful for reading and notes. JSON preserves structured records. CSV is useful for tables and further processing. Images and videos remain source URLs; the extension does not archive their media files.

[Saved history and duplicates ↗](/docs/export-history/)[Monthly allowance ↗](/docs/free-allowance/)

## Build a local workflow

Pro adds local research packets and directory save targets. Research packets collect evidence and prompts without making AI calls. The separate experimental Research Agent is off by default and is deferred as a finished product.

[Research packets ↗](/docs/research-packets/)[Save targets ↗](/docs/save-targets/)[Troubleshooting ↗](/docs/troubleshooting/)

## Know the boundary

Ordinary export reads the currently loaded DOM. It does not scroll, crawl, paginate, expand comments or authenticate. A saved page can therefore be partial, especially in virtualized feeds. Check the output before treating it as a complete source.

[Supported sites ↗](/supported-sites/)[Privacy ↗](/privacy/)

## Continue with your exported files

Choose a format for the next task, then inspect the saved data locally before processing it. These guides explain structures, spreadsheet imports and practical limits.
