Go beyond the current page
Choose a scan depth so FolderFetch can inspect eligible linked pages inside the scope you selected.
Website file downloader
Download files from a website without losing its structure
FolderFetch follows the page, region, or links you approve, discovers files across eligible pages, and shows the results in a folder tree before anything is downloaded.

Why FolderFetch
Preview before saving
Search the resource tree, filter by file type, and approve only the files that belong in your collection.
Keep source context
Build relative folders from the website structure instead of dropping every download into one flat directory.
How it works
From website to organized folders in three steps
- 01
Choose the scope
Scan the current page, visually select a section, or choose individual links. Start narrow and increase depth only when needed.
- 02
Review the file tree
Inspect file names, types, known sizes, source folders, and candidates that still need verification.
- 03
Download what you approve
FolderFetch uses the browser download system with validation, deduplication, rate limits, retries, and task recovery.
Built for real website collections
More than a list of download links
The workflow is designed for research portals, policy libraries, technical documentation sites, procurement pages, and other websites where files are spread across navigation levels.
Multiple file types
Collect PDFs, spreadsheets, documents, presentations, archives, and other supported file types in one reviewed task.
Controlled discovery
Limit the starting page, selected region, chosen links, and maximum depth. FolderFetch does not indiscriminately crawl the web.
Reliable bulk downloads
Duplicate detection, safe file names, retries, validation, and resumable task state make larger collections easier to manage.
A local library index
Generate a portable library.html file for browsing and searching the collection that remains on your computer.
What FolderFetch does—and does not do
Access stays under your control
FolderFetch works with pages and files your browser is legitimately allowed to access. It does not bypass sign-ins, CAPTCHAs, paywalls, robots controls, or technical restrictions. Dynamic viewers and protected downloads may require a different workflow or may not be supported.
