Ways for iPhone and iPad to save webpage as a single HTML file?

Question

I’ve been using my MacBook to save the posts from a blog I’ve been reading, and I’ve been doing that by using a plug-in on Firefox that can save the entire webpage into a single HTML page with all the things embedded in the file. Can an iPhone or iPad do the same thing?

I know that Safari and some other apps can save the entire webpage into a PDF, but is it possible to save it into a single HTML file? Anyone knows any app or plug-in can do?

Greatly appreciate anyone that could help🤗🙏

There's built-in features that do this.

Download linked file

Go to a page where you can see the link of the page you want to save as an html file. Then, long-press the link of the page you want to save as html and select "Download Linked File".

It will automatically be downloaded somewhere in Files. Open Files and find the file. It should look like this :

Then, you can open it and it should be the html document.

Save page as web archive

You will get a .webarchive file but it is as you're visiting the page (you can click on links, etc.).

For this, click on the Share icon at the bottom of your screen and choose "Options" below the page title.

Then, select "Web Archive" :

It will automatically be downloaded somewhere in Files. Open Files and find the file. It should look like this :

You can open it and see the saved page as if looking at in in-browser (of course, links are openable) :
