What is a .MHTML file?
An MHTML file, which stands for MIME HTML, is a type of file used to save web pages and their associated elements such as images, CSS, and JavaScript into a single archived file. This file format is useful for saving the entire content of a webpage in one file, making it easy to share or archive.
### File Extension: - **.MHTML** or sometimes saved as **.MHT** ### File Type: - **MIME HTML File** ### Description: An MHTML file captures and stores the HTML code of a webpage along with all the resources linked to that page, like images, CSS files, JavaScript, and even audio files. This is particularly handy for web developers or anyone needing to save the complete state of a webpage at a particular time for later review or archival purposes.
### How to Open: MHTML files can be opened in several web browsers and programs, including: - **Google Chrome** - **Brave Browser** - **Opera** - **Microsoft Edge** - **Mozilla Firefox** (requires the Mozilla Archive Format extension) - **Microsoft Word 365** - **Kingsoft Writer** - **WizBrother WizHtmlEditor** - **Terra Informatics BlockNote.Net** These files can also be opened on various platforms such as Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Chrome OS.
### More Information: MHTML files are typically created by saving a webpage directly from a web browser. The file includes all the webpage's elements encoded using MIME type encoding. Although the .mhtml extension is most common, these files might also be saved or renamed as .mht or .eml files.
### Creating MHTML Files: - **Google Chrome**: - **Windows**: Go to the menu, select "More tools" → "Save page as..." and then choose "Webpage, Single File". - **macOS**: Click "File" → "Save Page As..." and select "Webpage, Single File".
- **Microsoft Edge**: - **Windows**: Go to the menu, select "More tools" → "Save page as" and then choose "Webpage, single file". - **macOS**: Click "File" → "Save Page As..." and select "Webpage, single file".
This format is ideal for keeping a static snapshot of a webpage, which can be useful for offline viewing or archival purposes.
