Turn a .onion page into a
scroll video, safely
Dark Web Scroll captures a Tor (.onion) page the same way Scrollify captures any public site — one continuous scroll, rendered to MP4, GIF, or WebM — for threat intelligence, OSINT, brand-protection, and compliance teams who need a shareable visual record without opening Tor Browser themselves.
Requires a Pro plan or higher and a one-time legal acknowledgement. See acceptable use below.
- ✕ An analyst opens Tor Browser, screenshots a forum thread, and the below-the-fold context is gone
- ✕ A leak site or marketplace listing changes or disappears before it can be reported internally
- ✕ Sharing a raw .onion link in a report means every reader needs Tor configured to verify it
- ✕ No consistent, dated record of what a hidden-service page actually showed
- ✓ One continuous scroll of the full page — nothing cropped, no manual screenshotting
- ✓ A standard MP4/GIF/WebM file that opens on any device, no Tor Browser required to view it
- ✓ Every request routed over Tor with a fresh circuit, isolated from your normal capture traffic
- ✓ Every attempt — successful or blocked — is logged with a timestamp for your own audit trail
How it works
-
1
Accept the acceptable-use terms
A one-time acknowledgement, gated to Pro plans and above, confirming the feature is for lawful investigative, compliance, and research use only. Recorded once per account.
-
2
Paste the .onion address
Scrollify detects a valid Tor v3 hidden-service address automatically and switches the job to route through Tor before capture begins.
-
3
Download or share the scroll
The finished MP4, GIF, or WebM behaves like any other Scrollify export — private by default, shareable on your terms, never eligible for the public gallery.
Built for lawful investigative work
-
Threat intelligence teams
Document a leak-site listing or actor forum post for an incident report without asking every reader to open Tor Browser to verify it.
-
Brand & fraud protection
Capture a marketplace listing selling counterfeit goods or stolen credentials as dated evidence for takedown requests and legal escalation.
-
Journalists & researchers
Preserve how a hidden-service page looked at the time of reporting, with a standard video file that fits directly into a newsroom's normal editorial workflow.
-
Corporate compliance & legal
Add a Dark Web Scroll capture alongside other exhibits when a breach-notification or vendor-risk file needs to show what a page displayed, and when.
-
Security researchers
Log a fresh, timestamped capture of a public hidden service as part of a research writeup, without keeping a personal Tor setup running.
-
Law-enforcement–adjacent teams
Produce a shareable video artifact for a case file or partner briefing where a screenshot alone would miss page context below the fold.
Acceptable use, plainly stated
Dark Web Scroll exists for lawful investigative, compliance, threat-intelligence, and research purposes only. Before the first .onion capture on any account, we require an explicit, logged acknowledgement of the acceptable-use terms.
This feature must never be used to view, capture, or distribute child sexual abuse material (CSAM), or to facilitate any other illegal activity.
Every .onion capture request — created or blocked — is logged with the account, the requested URL, a timestamp, and the requesting IP address, and retained indefinitely for compliance review. We actively review this activity; accounts found misusing the feature, including any attempt to access CSAM, are suspended and reported to law enforcement. Read the full terms in our Terms of Use.
Frequently asked questions
- What plan do I need?
- Dark Web Scroll is available on the Pro plan and above. Free and Starter plans can capture ordinary public (clearnet) URLs, but a .onion address requires Pro-level entitlement plus the one-time acceptable-use acknowledgement.
- Do I need Tor Browser installed?
- No. Scrollify routes the capture request through Tor on its own infrastructure — you paste the .onion address and download a standard MP4, GIF, or WebM file that plays anywhere, with no Tor client needed on your end.
- What addresses are supported?
- Current Tor v3 (.onion) hidden-service addresses. Legacy v2 addresses (16-character) were deprecated across the Tor network and are not supported.
- Can these captures show up in the public gallery?
- No — .onion captures can never be approved for the public gallery, regardless of who requests it. Every Dark Web Scroll export is private by default; you choose whether and with whom to share a link.
- Is a scroll video a substitute for forensic evidence collection?
- No. It produces a clear, repeatable visual record of what a hidden-service page rendered at capture time — a supporting artifact, not a replacement for cryptographic hashing, chain-of-custody tooling, or certified forensic collection. Treat it as one layer in a preservation strategy your team defines.
- What happens if I try without accepting the terms, or on an ineligible plan?
- The request is blocked before any capture begins, and the attempt is still logged for audit purposes. Accepting the acceptable-use terms and holding a Pro-or-higher plan are both required before a .onion job can run.
