WebEXE

Overview

WebEXE is a browser-based HTML to EXE conversion tool. Without installing any local software, you can package an HTML file or an entire static web project into a Windows desktop app directly in your browser. ## Key Capabilities - **Multiple File Support**: Upload a single HTML file, a project folder containing `index.html`, or paste HTML content directly. It handles static assets including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, and fonts. - **Custom Settings**: Set the app title (automatically reads the page title if left blank) and configure the window width and height. - **One-Click Build & Download**: Complete the entire process from upload to generation on a single page. Once built, download a ZIP archive; extract it to get the EXE file and documentation. ## Use Cases WebEXE is ideal for extending web delivery to the desktop, including: - **Internal Workbenches**: Place frequently used web tools into standalone desktop windows. - **Data Dashboards**: Provide teams with a focused desktop entry point. - **Product Prototypes**: Quickly validate the desktop experience of a web page. - **Showcases & Demos**: Run presentation pages outside of browser tabs. ## Limitations - A single HTML file or the project's `index.html` cannot exceed 5 MB; the total project size must stay under 20 MB, with a maximum of 1000 files. - The generated EXE runs only on 64-bit Windows systems. macOS and Linux are not currently supported. - Running the generated app requires Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime installed on the target computer.
