This application is a modified version of Snap2HTML by RL Vision.
Snap2HTML-NG takes a "snapshot" of the folder structure on your Hard Drive or Network Drive and saves it as an HTML file.
What's unique about Snap2HTML-NG is that the HTML file uses modern techniques to make it feel like a real File Explorer, displaying a treeview with directories that you can navigate to view the files contained within. There is also a built-in file search and ability to export data as plain text, CSV, or JSON. Everything is contained in a single HTML file that you can easily store or distribute.
Snap2HTML-NG file listings can be used in many ways. An example of some is:
- As a complement to your backups (this is not a backup solution).
- You can also keep a file list of external HDDs and other computers; in case you need to look something up or to save for historic reasons and documentation.
- Helping friends or family with Troubleshooting, you can ask them to send a snapshot of their directories so you can better understand their problem.
It's up to you to decide what Snap2HTML-NG can be used for!

Snap2HTML-NG does not connect to the internet. It does not phone home, submit telemetry, spy on you or any other crap like that. It simply doesn't do anything behind your back and any data related to the program is yours. As it should be.
As of Version 3.0, there is a setting to auto check for updates. This does not download any updates automatically and is disabled by default (preview builds have it enabled). The above privacy notice still stands otherwise.
