'''archive.is''', officially known as '''archive.today – webpage capture''', found at its URL <tt>[https://archive.is archive.is]</tt> (and also at <tt>[https://archive.li archive.li]</tt> and <tt>[https://archive.md archive.md]</tt>), is a privately funded [[web archiving]] service [[:Category:Websites|website]] from {{tag|Europe}}.  It was previously known as '''Webpage archive''' (oddly formerly at <tt>[https://archive.today archive.today]</tt>, which now [[redirect]]s to either <tt>[https://archive.fo archive.fo]</tt> or <tt>[https://archive.ph archive.ph]</tt>).

'''archive.is''' is similar to the WaybackMachine from the Internet Archive at [[Archive.org]].  However, archive.is differs from Archive.org, in that within its {{tag|archives}} of saved pages, it does not provide active follow-on 'in-page' links (URLs and / or [[wikilink]]s).  Furthermore, archive.is claims that ''"Saved pages will have no active elements and no scripts, so they keep you safe as they cannot have any popups or malware!"''  In effect, {{tag|archived}} URLs on archive.is are saved as a single 'flat' page; whereas on Archive.org, they still contain live internet links (within Archive.org).

One {{tag|GreatFeature|great feature}} of archive.is is that saved pages are available under a shortened URL link, similar (though not identical) to goo.gl and bit.ly.  Another feature is that it saves both a textual snapshot, ''and'' a graphical image snapshot of the archived page.
