Can You Download Your Entire Tumblr Blog? Let’s Dive In!
So, you’ve decided it’s time to reclaim your digital treasure trove and back up your entire Tumblr blog—bravo! 🥳 But before you start blasting ‘Let’s Go Crazy’ by Prince while clicking every button, let’s break down how to download all those precious posts.
Let’s keep it real—while some tools shine bright like a diamond, others are more dim than a broken bulb. First off, let me introduce you to ArchiveBot. This handy tool can snag your Tumblr blog, but hold onto your hats—videos are still taking their sweet time to be included (cue dramatic sigh). If you’re okay with everything being public and stored in the Wayback Machine, do give it a whirl! However, if you want your own pristine copy, consider grab-site. It’s basically ArchiveBot for personal use and operates similarly, capturing your blog without adding unnecessary chaos to the order of your posts.
- Pro Tip: Both of these tools create WARCs (Web ARChive files), which turn your blog into a time capsule accessible through a browser, as if you’re browsing the original website. How cool is that?
For video lovers or those who need comprehensive blogging options, try out the Browsertrix Crawler. It’s specifically designed to nab images and videos while crawling websites. You can find it here: Browsertrix Crawler.
If you’re looking to save more than just your posts, let me tangentially introduce you to some other aids that might tickle your fancy:
- TumblThree (Windows)
- RipMe (Windows, Linux, Mac OS)
- Tumblr Likes Downloader (Windows, Linux, Mac OSX)
Now, if you’re seeking to capture the full essence of your blog (theme, layout, and more), HTTrack is your new best friend. This tool downloads entire websites—perfect for a full backup! Just be prepared for some potential complexities, like deciding how quickly you want it to work (we don’t want Tumblr banning you!).
A little heads-up: if your blog has been a long-term project and is frankly massive, downloading everything can take quite a while—or, hilariously, cause some storage drama (hello, infinity space message)!
