Website restoration from the Wayback Machine

What you can restore

Wayback Tools turns public Archive.org captures into host-ready restoration output. When the selected archive window contains them, the recovery can include HTML pages, images, stylesheets, scripts, documents, fonts, and other first-party assets needed to rehost the site.

• Archive-backed restoration source
• Snapshot-date selection
• Preview before download
• Host-ready ZIP output
• Explicit recovery-gap reporting

How the restoration works

Start with a domain and either use the latest available capture or choose an exact archived date. The restoration discovers linked pages and assets from archive evidence, rewrites internal references for the new host, prepares a preview, and records gaps instead of silently substituting missing historical content.

• Archive discovery and snapshot selection
• Page and asset recovery from archive evidence
• Reference rewriting for the restored host
• Preview generation before download

Free preview, Single Recovery, or subscription

Use the free restoration to inspect up to five customer pages. Single Recovery is a one-time paid restoration with no account required. Pro and Enterprise subscriptions are intended for repeated work, account tracking, bulk import, and higher monthly restoration allowances.

• Free: inspect a bounded five-page restoration
• Single Recovery: one-time paid recovery without a subscription
• Subscription: repeated or bulk restoration work

What archive restoration cannot recreate

Public archives do not contain private databases, admin dashboards, passwords, server-side application state, or every historical file. A delivered site can therefore need new form handling, ecommerce logic, authentication, or other dynamic services. Wayback Tools reports unavailable archive-backed content in the recovery-gap evidence so you can decide what must be rebuilt separately.
