Why bundle Python apps?
Shipping a standalone EXE delights users and reduces setup friction.

• Eliminate interpreter and dependency installation steps.

• Avoid IT policy hurdles by providing signed, portable binaries.

• Keep configuration files and assets organized for support teams.

Py to EXE Converter
Package your Python project as a Windows executable without leaving the browser.

Everything you need to ship Windows binaries

Follow proven workflows for freezing Python apps and keep stakeholders confident in every release.

Bundle everything you need
Ship a single Windows executable that includes your Python interpreter, dependencies, assets, and startup scripts.
Private, browser-based workflow
The embedded tool runs entirely in your browser, so your code and secrets never leave your machine.
Optimized defaults
Start with sensible packaging options for typical CLI and GUI apps, then refine for advanced scenarios.

Common ways to convert Python to EXE

Choose the approach that fits your project's footprint, performance profile, and deployment needs.

PyInstaller
The go-to freezer for most projects. Generates one-folder or one-file executables with minimal configuration.

Install with `pip install pyinstaller`.

Run `pyinstaller your_app.py --onefile` to bundle everything into a single .exe.

Ship the output in `dist/` and include extra data files with the `--add-data` flag when needed.

cx_Freeze
A cross-platform freezer that creates directory-based builds and plays nicely with custom setup scripts.

Install with `pip install cx-Freeze`.

Create a `setup.py` using `cx_Freeze.Executable` and `build_exe_options` to fine-tune includes and excludes.

Build with `python setup.py build` to produce a `build/exe.win-amd64-3x` folder ready for distribution.

Nuitka
Compiles Python to C for speed-sensitive apps while also producing distributable executables.

Install with `pip install nuitka` and ensure a C compiler (Visual Studio Build Tools) is available.

Use `nuitka --standalone --onefile your_app.py` to create an optimized executable.

Leverage `--enable-plugin` flags for popular frameworks like PyQt or Django to bundle resources correctly.

PyOxidizer
Ships modern, Rust-powered builds with compact footprints and granular control over the embedded interpreter.

Install Rust and run `pip install pyoxidizer`.

Initialize a project with `pyoxidizer init` and edit `pyoxidizer.bzl` to list modules, resources, and startup entry points.

Build with `pyoxidizer build` to generate Windows artifacts under the `build/` directory.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to common packaging hurdles so you can ship faster.

How do I convert a Python file to an EXE?
Use a freezing tool like PyInstaller, cx_Freeze, or Nuitka. Install the tool with pip, run it against your entry-point script, and ship the generated executable along with any supporting files.
Do I need a Windows machine to build an EXE?
Yes, native Windows builds require Windows or a cross-compilation toolchain that emulates it. PyInstaller, cx_Freeze, and Nuitka all recommend building on Windows for best results.
Can I sign or compress the generated executable?
Absolutely. After freezing, you can run tools like signtool.exe for code signing or UPX for compression. Be sure to test the executable afterwards to confirm antivirus software accepts the changes.
